Even if Harry had not told her that, that was precisely what Ivy intended to do."Come here. I will teach you a few tricks." He pulled out a pen from his pocket and said, "Memorize all the important nouns and numbers, and practice the words that you find difficult to pronounce..."Ivy knew all that Harry was teaching her at the moment because it was written on the material Harry had given her in the past."Most importantly, be mindful of your image in front of the camera. Our images come from the way we wear our hair, the way we dress, and our expressions. You must relax. My trick of relaxing is to imagine the camera as my best friend."Ivy nodded intently."Go ahead and practice your script, then! Let me or the staff know once you are done." Harry smiled. "Just be your usual self and you will be just as good as your senior."Ivy nodded with a smile. "Okay. I should let you get back to work!"Once he left, Ivy started memorizing the script.Andrea had signed her contract and wa
Shortly after, Harry walked into the room and Ivy immediately beamed at him as she flashed him an 'okay' sign.Harry nodded wordlessly. Ivy put on the headphones and heard the director's instructions."Hello, Ivy. I'm starting the countdown now. Five, four, three, two, one, action..."The script Ivy had on her table was displayed on the teleprompter before her, and it was also attached to the screen. All she needed to do was look ahead and read the script with precision."Hello. Today is the thirteenth of January, Tuesday. Welcome to the Thirty-minute News Summary..."It was a test session, and a simpler script was used to help students acclimatize to the work as fast as possible. The testing session meant more to Ivy than it did to Andrea, as second-year students had the chance the practice in the broadcasting room on campus.Ten minutes later, Ivy heard the voice of the director coming from her headphones. "Cut. Good job!"Ivy sighed a breath of relief and took the headphone
Harry took Ivy to the meeting room, where Ivy's contract was on the table."Mr. Gardner, has everyone else signed their contracts?"Harry nodded. "Yeah. The others have begun working."Ivy picked the contract up and read through it."I've already sent your dad a copy." He handed her a pen. "All you need to do is sign."Ivy accepted the pen but insisted on reading the contract. "This is the first time I'm signing a contract for work. I'm excited and want to see what's written."Ivy was paid when she worked as a servant for the Woods, but she did not get to sign any contract at the time."What's your plan for the future?" Harry asked. "Do you plan on working in this field in the long run?"Ivy signed her name on the contract and said, "I don't want to lie to you, Mr. Gardner. I haven't planned that much ahead, actually. All I know is that I want to be a TV host right now. I don't know if I will change my mind after I graduate."Harry chuckled. "I can understand. Your family woul
"Is it better than the food in the canteen of Dad's company?""Both taste great. Not only is the food nice, but it's also cheap as well." Ivy had only spent a few dollars on lunch, and it was Harry's treat."Companies like this usually pay the vendors at the canteen, or no one would sell food there if the profit is that low. It's considered a kind of employee benefit! It would be expensive if you eat outside," Robert said. "How did the testing session go?""Smoothly. It was easier than I imagined." Ivy took out the contract from her bag. "I've already signed the contract and started today. I'm going to be an intern broadcaster! Robert, you haven't eaten, right? Let me buy you something to eat.""Hahaha, sure, but let's wait until tonight! Mom and Dad are waiting for you to go home!" Robert said. "Dad is so nervous about your testing session that he didn't even go to work. He has been waiting for you to get back and sent me to get you when you didn't come home.""Dad told you to pi
"Have you seen your sister's video?" Avery asked."Not yet! I was in a meeting just now!" Layla said, before minimizing the call interface and opening the family chat group."She had a test session at the TV station today, and she did great," Avery said."I knew that she could do it all along." Layla was happy for her sister. "I will drop by later after work.""Sure!" Avery felt reassured. "Don't run yourself too thin. Be sure to maintain a work-life balance.""I know! Let's talk once I get home. I will get something to eat now," Layla said before hanging up.She played the video of Ivy on her phone and sent a thumbs-up emoji with a message attached to it to the chat group once she saw the entire video.[Ivy is brilliant. Hayden, don't you think she deserves a reward?]It was in the middle of the night in Bridgedale, but Hayden was used to staying up, and Layla knew that he was likely still awake.As expected, Hayden sent a cash reward link to the group shortly after.[Hayden
After removing her makeup with her makeup remover, she took out a sheet mask from her drawer and applied it to her face. She stepped out of the bathroom and picked up her phone to check the time before sitting down on her couch, lazily scrolling through her phone.Meredith had sent her a text asking how the test session went, so Ivy replied right away.[It went smoothly. I've already signed the contract.][Ivy, you are amazing. When will your show start? I will stay in front of the television and wait for your show to come on.][Three in the morning starting the day after tomorrow.][Sure. I will wait for your show.][I didn't find out until today that not all shows are going to get a replay. Shows that are broadcasted by interns like us won't get a replay.][Haha, that's alright. All newbies go through the same thing. You can just ask the staff to record your session and keep them.][Yeah.][By the way, have you seen our senior from the second year?][I did. She arrived be
Robert immediately handed the document in his hand to Ivy. "Dad told me to read this.""Oh..." Ivy instantly lost interest as soon as she saw the title. "Keep reading, then! I won't bother you."Robert took the document back with a bitter smile and glanced outside the window. "Is Layla still coming in this weather?""Is Layla coming?" Ivy was slightly taken by shock."Layla told Mom that she will be coming home for dinner," Robert said. "I guess she is coming over to compliment you in person!"Ivy's lips curled into a smile, but she was still concerned when she saw how heavy it was raining. "It's dangerous to drive in this weather, right?""It's fine for experienced drivers, like me, but Layla doesn’t drive as often as I do," Robert said smugly. "Ivy, once you are free, I will teach you how to drive.""Sure!" Ivy agreed.Half an hour later, Layla arrived.Due to the sudden storm, she had ended work ahead of time as she did not dare drive too fast in this weather. If she had no
"It's just a vase of water. You are overthinking things," Avery said cheerfully. "You might have moved in with Eric but you will always be my daughter!""Mom, I wasn't feeling sad about this and now that you've said that, I don't feel like leaving.""Then stay," Elliot added.Layla chuckled and walked over to Elliot. "Dad, are you going to get Robert to work for you during the holidays? You can just hand him over to your vice president, so you won't have to worry.""I'm worried that the vice president would go soft on him. I never asked Robert to intern at my company. He was the one who brought it up."Layla immediately turned to look at Robert in awe, not expecting him to become such a responsible man."Why are you staring at me, Layla? You were the one who said that you want me to help Dad with work, right?" Robert felt chills down his spine when he saw the way Layla was looking at him."That's great! If you've decided to do it, make sure to give it your best," Layla said."I
