It was from her lecturer, informing her to prepare for her dissertation interview.
At the same time, the lecturer asked what she planned to do in the future.
He personally wished that Ivy could continue being a television broadcaster as she had gained a lot of experience in the television station in the past two years.
Curious, her lecturer asked if she was giving up on her career as a broadcaster because her family said so.
Ivy immediately replied to her lecturer's message. [My parents don't interfere with my life choices. I just want a break.]
The lecturer replied right away. [A break is crucial sometimes! Don't be late for your interview on Saturday, then!]
[Sure. Have a nice evening.] Ivy replied.
After sending the reply, Ivy started checking the prices for air tickets to Taronia.
Time flew, and, soon, it was Saturday, and Ivy returned home after her interview.
When she arrived home to find every member of her family present, she was stunned.
"Why are you all at home? Hayden, Layla, aren't you going to work?"
"Mom said your flight is tonight," Hayden spoke up. "Why are you leaving so suddenly?"
"Mom, did you look at my plane ticket?" Ivy asked.
Avery picked up the envelope containing the plane ticket from the coffee table. "It was delivered here. I was curious, so I opened it. You're not mad, are you?"
"Hahaha! Of course not. I almost forgot that I bought the ticket. I just bought it on a whim the night before yesterday. I planned to tell you all after my dissertation interview. After all, I wouldn't be able to leave today if it didn't go well."
"Exactly. That means you take orders from me, right?" Ivy asked.
Archer hesitated for a moment. "But your dad is the one paying my salary."
Ivy was at a loss for words.
"Uh, what do you want me to do? Do you want me to hide something from them? Ivy, your family all love you dearly, so please don't do anything to make them sad."
"I would never do anything to make them sad. I'm an adult now, and I don't want all my private matters to be known by my parents. You don't have to report everything to them every day, and if you have to report, I'm sure you can leave out some details," Ivy said.
Archer nodded. "I understand what you mean. I can promise you that. After all, I'm just a bodyguard, and my duty is to ensure your safety. As long as you're safe, I'll get paid."
"I knew you'd understand, Archer. You're really quick on the uptake," Ivy said.
