The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2067

Everyone was shooting on the same backlot, and Giselle would always make the most of her spare time dragging her assistant along with an armful of goodies to the set. She claimed to be Ivy’s dear friend and asked everyone to take special care of her. And today was no different.

“Holy smokes, isn’t Mintz the coffee shop that’s exclusively open in C City? Did Queen Giselle really trek all that way for coffee?” someone exclaimed.

“As if Mintz is a big deal. If our Queen Giselle wants something, wouldn’t the manager himself deliver it on a silver platter?” joked another.

Laughter rippled through the crowd as Giselle sidled up to Ivy, leaning on her shoulder with an endearing sweetness that belied the true nature of her smile.

“Oh come on, it’s not like that,” Giselle demurred. “I’ve known the manager from my time abroad. He’s an old friend of mine. That’s why he made an exception to bring it over. You all should pop into Mintz when you have a chance, consider it a favor for my buddy!”

Giselle’s down-to-earth demeanor won an instant approval from the crew, with someone chiming in, “Don’t worry, Giselle. I’ll definitely swing by Mintz next time when I visit C City!”

“Pfft, good luck with that. Mintz is so popular that even celebs have to wait in line. You think we’ll get a seat? Giselle’s just being polite. Her friends don’t need us mere mortals to boost their business!” someone else quipped with a snort.

At that moment, with a subtle glance from Giselle, her assistant knowingly whisked the group away to indulge in coffee and desserts.
