The Kiss that Sparked it All

[To be honest, when I first heard about Ryan and Ivy, the fresh faces cast as leads in the latest flick, I wasn’t holding my breath. The box office had been a ghost town of quality for a while. All I thought was that, at the very least, their good looks wouldn’t be a total assault on my senses. But they prove me wrong! I was just speechless.]

Online movie rating apps were buzzing with surprise over the plot twists and the new actors’ skills, and the real show-stealer was no doubt Ivy.

[Does anyone get it? The moment she appeared on the screen, I knew exactly why Colton. was hell- bent on casting her.]

Many netizens shared the sentiment: [You’re spot on. Looks can be deceiving but with Ivy, it’s more than just a pretty face. She’s got this spark, this ease about her that’s just so darn comforting. She stands there, and it’s like Valor personified.]

Praise for Ivy’s performance was flooding in, and while she blushed away from the compliments, Balfour made it his daily ritual to check the app for the latest creative praises.

“Hey, check this out. They’re saying you’re like a fallen star from the heavens. Even last year’s Best Actress didn’t have your natural flair when she debuted.”

Ivy rolled her eyes, “Can’t you quit it with the flattery? I’m light-years away from Best Actress material!”

“I can’t and I won’t. I’m learning new ways to compliment you. Besides, you’re no way less qualified for this compliment! Your skill has already been ahead of hers at the start, and that’s no fanboy talking.”

Ivy couldn’t help but chuckle.

Balfour, with his typically stoic and resolute façade, engaging in such fan-like behavior. “Do your colleagues even know what you’re like at home?”

Balfour shot her a cool glance, “Who do you think I’m doing this for? You stone-heart.”

She lunged at him playfully as she caught his gaze, “I’m not stone-hearted, but you’re honestly adorable! Honey—” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The moment she drew out the word in a whine Balfour couldn’t resist. With a slight effort, he scooped her up, “Feeling better now? Everyone loves you.”

Ivy nuzzled into his neck, “It’s not about everyone loving me. I just wish they’d watch the movie without prejudice. It’s a team effort, after all. I wouldn’t want to be the reason our hard work is ruined.”

Balfour kissed her forehead tenderly. She was always considerate and selfless like this. If she was the only one being criticized, she could easily brush it off. But when her colleagues were involved, that would be a different story.

As box office success kept rolling in, it surprised not just ivy but even Colton. This was no mere success; it was a triumph beyond expectations.

With award season on the horizon, their team had submitted their entries. Both Ryan and Ivy were in the running for Best New Artist. Colton was hell-bent on seeing them, especially Ivy, take home the prize.

Ny was filled with hope. She loved her job and naturally craved recognition in the form of awards.

It wasn’t just about audience approval; it was validation from the experts of her skills.
