Robin turned to Ivy with a faint smile as he shook his head toward Brenda and Marrisa.

"They're just joking around. Don't mind them, Ms. Dickinson," he said lightly.

"Uh..." Ivy's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she found herself at a loss for words.

Marrisa quickly corrected, "We aren't joking.

Robin gave her a serious look, still smiling, and reminded her, "Marrisa, this isn't the time or place for such things.

Ms. Dickinson is the star of tonight's film festival, so we have to be mindful of what we say. Paparazzi could use our words to harm her reputation." Startled, Marrisa instinctively covered her mouth. "Oh really?"

Brenda looked around nervously, recalling how some top stars were bound by strict rules, even forbidden. from dating during their contracts.

If rumors spread about Ivy, her career could be at risk.

She quickly chimed in, "Yes, Ivy, we were just joking."

Feeling like she had overstepped, Marrisa lowered her gaze in silence, appearing like a child caught in a

mistake.

Ivy, meanwhile, felt a chill as her initial excitement faded.

Despite her disappointment, Ivy, a pro at handling such social moments, showed poise, managing a warm

smile.

She reassured them with a nod, "It's fine-I appreciate how open you both are. Marrisa, Brenda, you both look stunning tonight."noveldrama

Marrisa and Brenda breathed a sigh of relief. "Robin picked this look for us.

"It's from a Chanel store in the commercial area of the film city, and we did our hair there too."

"Oh, Slark's son, Lance acknowledged, his expression cooling slightly as he realized Max wasn't from a top social circle. "How can I help you?"

As Lance spoke, his eyes drifted to Amanda and Alison standing next to Max.

To him, their looks seemed ordinary, especially when compared to the models and pageant winners around him, who were on an entirely different level. Max, a bit jittery, gestured toward Alison and said, "Mr. Lance, my friend here was hoping to meet you, so I brought her along

With a lazy glance, Lance raised an eyebrow and addressed Alison, "You want to see me?"

At that moment, Alison felt a pang of regret.

It became clear that Max and Lance weren't acquainted, and in the presence of someone às affluent as Lance, Max didn't even seem to rate.

All his earlier talk now appeared to be mere bravado.

Despite feeling uneasy, Alison knew better than to show any disrespect. She replied politely, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lance.

I'm Alison Ferguson, a flight attendant with Southorn Airlines.

"I was invited by the festival organizers to attend this event."

Trying to boost her status a bit, she added, "And, well... I'm also Ivy Dickinson's friend."

At first, Lance wasn't interested in Alison.

But Ivy's name caught his attention, and his gaze shifted slightly, curiosity sparking in his eyes.

Recognizing Max's intentions, Lance gave Alison a warm smile and took a moment to introduce her to several influential directors and producers nearby.

Surrounded by prominent investors and directors from Southeast Aurientia and the broader Aurientia film industry, Alison realized that connecting with any one of them could instantly open doors to stardom. Seeing those powerful and recognizable faces, Alison was nearly speechless with excitement.

After some small talk, Lance shrugged casually and said, "Ms. Alison, the film festival's opening is about to start, so I won't be able to chat longer."
