"Yeah! Dad, I've talked to Robert as well. I know that you are worried about the night shift, but I don't think it's an issue, nor should it be something that stops me from growing. I can sleep during the day and work at night."
Ivy had already decided to take the internship, and sensing the determination in her tone, Elliot knew that there was nothing he could do. If he told her he did not want her to take the internship, he knew she would not take it, but he also knew that it would upset her.
"I will ask Harry to give you an earlier show." He was still reluctant to let his daughter work the night shift.
"Dad, don't trouble him," Ivy said sternly. "This is a rule of the TV station, and I don't want to be the exception to it. Besides, I'm hardly qualified to be in any of the other shows. If you get me into those, I might be too nervous to do my best."
Elliot fell silent at her words, finally deciding to let her make her own choices.
He knew that Ivy was perfectly capable of facing adversities as she had been doing so for the past eighteen years.
"Give it a try, then. If you are having a tough time adjusting, just let us know," Elliot said.
"I will." Ivy was instantly excited. "Dad, I'm shopping with Kiara and Rose. It's been a while since I hung out with them. I'm really happy now."
Elliot relaxed at the sound of her laughter.
"Is your bodyguard with you?"
"Yeah, he is with us!"
"Oh... night shift, huh? That's going to be exhausting." Avery sighed. "But if she has already made up her mind, let's not interfere."
"I didn't. I suggested contacting Harry and trying to get her an earlier slot, but she turned down the suggestion because she didn't want to be special."
Avery hummed. "Harry is already giving her special treatment for letting her into the internship program. She probably knows that already and doesn't want to cause him any more trouble."
"I guess! Ivy said that the positions are often reserved for third and fourth-year students."
"Let's meet Harry when we get home!" she said.
