The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2158

Ivy's gaze turned icy when she spotted Giselle approaching.

After taking off her designer sunglasses, Giselle stepped closer, attempting to grasp Ivy's hands.

But Ivy sidestepped just enough to dodge the embrace.

Giselle lunged forward, missing her target and almost face-planting against the car door. Her feet in high heels nearly twisted.

"Ouch!"

Giselle's cry of distress drew a crowd of concerned crew members, their sympathetic eyes on her and their glares of reproach directed at Ivy.

"Giselle, are you alright? Did you sprain your ankle? What's with our luck lately? First Diana steps on a thumbtack, and now you nearly take a tumble!"

"Hmph, I've been saying it all along – someone's bad mojo is messing with our set. We should replace the starlet before we all get jinxed. Did you see that? Giselle was just trying to be friendly, and she got the cold shoulder. No wonder she almost fell!"

The woman behind the glasses pushed them up her nose, clearly itching to turn everyone against Ivy.

Looking like a wounded fawn, Giselle became even more pitiable in the eyes of the onlookers.

Hearing the crew weave tales about Ivy, Giselle jumped to her defense with feigned concern, "Don't be so harsh on Ivy; she's not like that! We've known each other for ages, and she's never done anything like this before. Maybe she's got her reasons this time!"
