"Your dad is depressed and didn't want to help Layla move, so | had to stay hwith him..." Avery said worriedly. "I don't want
your sister to overthink things."
"She didn't, Mom. Layla isn't the kind of person who would hold a grudge over something like this. She is already content that you
and Dad are not opposed to her marrying Big Brother Eric."
"Is that what you are calling him now?" Avery chuckled.
"They are living together, so | will have to change the way | address him eventually! He didn't say no to it."
"Haha, anything goes, | suppose. Your sister is dead set on being with him." Avery sighed a breath of relief. "Mr. Gardner cover
this morning and said that he happened to be in the area. He told you to contact him when you are free and he will take you to the
station so that you can familiarize yourself with the environment."
Ivy nodded. "Sure. | need to prepare for the exams and won't be free until later."

"Send him a message and tell him about it, then." Avery pulled lvy down onto the couch. "He said that you are the youngest
amongst all the selected candidates, and since you are only in your first year of university, people have been talking about you. He
told you to stay strong and prove that you are worthy of the internship. Once you do, no one will dare to say anything again."
Ivy nodded. "I will work hard, Mom."
"I know you will. Mr. Gardner said that you are very hard-working. Make sure you keep tabs on your own emotions and don't stress
yourself out. Besides, everything is going to be fine even if this internship doesn't go as smoothly as you want it to. Your life is just
starting and you might not be a TV host for the rest of your life," Avery said.
"I know, Mom, but | want to give it my best." Ivy was a proud young woman, and since everyone was talking about her behind her
back, she knew that she wouldmand no respect on campus if she failed to perform well in the internship program.
"Alright. It's getting late, so take a shower and rest!"
"Sure. Mom, Robert will sendoff to work on my first day. We've talked about it." Ivy was about to return to her room when she
remembered about it. "One of my seniors in the second year was selected as well, and her show is right before mine."
Ivy did not want others to recognize her parents.
"Alright, then! We will stay hand watch your show."
Ivy did not want them to stay up watching her show either but knew that she could not stop them.
The next day, Ivy returned to the university to take the semester-end exam.
Sof the students tried to speak to her after the exam, but her professor got ahead of everyone else.
Her professor had not known that she had applied for the internship, and neither did he know of how she got chosen as one of the
TV station's interns. He hade to speak to her about it.

Ivy grabbed her bag and left with the professor.
"Ivy, I'm surprised that you managed to get into the internship program. Can you tellwhat's going on? Don't worry. | won't tell
anyone else."
Ivy could not mention that it was Harry who insisted that she try for the program, so she avoided the question altogether. "Just wait
and see how | perform! | will try not to embarrass you."
The lecturer burst out laughing. "I can see your progress. You have improved so much since you first cin. I'm sure you spend a
lot of tpracticing."
Ivy nodded.
"That's great. You need to hold on to this opportunity. You might turn out to be one of my best students in the future." He tapped
her on the shoulder. "You still have another exam in the afternoon, so | won't take up any more of your time."
"Thank you, Sir," lvy said, before heading back to her apartment to study.
