"Do you know why I've given you the three am slot?" Harry asked.
"The show at three lasts for half an hour. I'm new with no experience, and I'm not as educated as my senior in the second year, so a half-hour show could be quite challenging already," Ivy said.
Harry had not expected her to be so perceptive and said, "Indeed. If you do well in this show, it will be quite the accomplishment for someone your age."
"I will work hard, Mr. Gardner."
"By the way, come to the station alone tomorrow. It's fine if your parents want to drop you off, but it's best that they don't come inside. I know you keep a low profile and that's a good thing when you are still learning. Once people find out who you are, you will be swarmed by all their opinions and comments."
"You are right. I won't let them drop me off."
"See you tomorrow, then."
"Yes. See you tomorrow."
The next day at ten in the morning, Ivy arrived alone by taxi.
After verifying her identity at the reception, they told her to take the elevator to the twelfth floor, where the lobby for the broadcasting department was.
She stepped out of the elevator and shivered slightly. Based on the information Harry had given her, she made her way to room 6.
Harry was inside, and when he spotted her, he waved at her, signaling her to come in.
"Hahaha! You are so sweet. Mr. Gardner mentioned quite a few issues about my skills, so I guess I still have a long way to go. I will come over again to check on you later after I sign the contract!" Andrea said, before leaving with the staff.
Once they left, Ivy turned to Harry and said, "Mr. Gardner, Andrea was perfect."
"She is fine, but you aren't so bad either," Harry said. "Just try reading the script first! Is half an hour enough for you?"
Ivy followed Harry to the studio and picked up the script from the table.
She noticed that it was the exact same script that Andrea had used before. "It's not a long script, so I won't need half an hour."
"You have the teleprompter, but I prefer that you memorize the script," Harry said. "When you start working here officially, you will need to come over to the station as early as possible to read the script and prepare yourself."
