Ivy nced at the ending sentence of thest page and looked up to face the camera, before continuing.From N?velDrama.Org.
There were no words on the teleprompter at all, and she was reciting the script by heart.
After reporting the third piece of news, the broadcast switched to the video corresponding to the video concerning the third piece of news, and Ivy immediately said to the director, "My script has been swapped."
Ivy had not expected an ident to happen on her second day at work.
She had memorized every word of her script but had been caught by surprise by the unexpected turn of events. People tended to lose coordination of their speech and bodynguage when they were extremely nervous.
"Don''t panic. After the video, I will enter an advertisement," the director consoled her. "I will get someone to print you another copy of the script right away."
"Okay. Thank you." Ivy sighed a breath of relief.
Inside the hotel, Andrea clenched her fists and scowled as she watched the news report on the television.
She noticed the shock and panic on Ivy''s face when she noticed that her script had been swapped and was certain that Ivy would fail, but to her bewilderment, Ivy proceeded with the show after a few moments of hesitation.
After ying the video concerning the third piece of news, an advertisement was yed, and Andrea gritted her teeth.
Under normal circumstances, there were no advertisements on the intern''s shows, and Andrea realized that the director had arranged it to help Ivy.
After ny seconds of advertisement, the show came on. Ivy had regained herposure with the newly printed copy of her script before her.
The remainder of the show went on. smoothly and Andrea switched off the television, before starting to pull at her hair when she realized that she had underestimated Ivy.
She had not expected Ivy to adapt and finish the show, and Andrea came to realize that she would have never been able to remain calm if she was in Ivy''s shoes. "I''ve lost!" she thought. "I thought that Ivy was beneath me, but I was wrong!"
In studio number six at the television station, Ivy returned backstage, and a few members of the staff immediately hurried toward her.
"Ivy, who swapped your script? How
despicable! Thank goodness that you reacted quickly enough to finish the third piece of news, or we wouldn''t even know what to do."
"Yeah! I was so scared when I saw that nothing wasing up on the teleprompter. Ivy, did you memorize the entire script?"
Ivy''s usual smile had disappeared from her lips, and she scowled as she wondered if she should tell them her theory about what happened to the script.
She thought that it was Andrea who swapped her script, but she had no proof of it.
The dressing room and makeup room were located backstage, and broadcasters usually recited their scripts there while they had their makeup done.
Everyone had their own part to do, so they rarely interacted with one another especially when everyone was exhausted from working the night shift. Andrea was the only one who spoke more than a few words to her, and she was seated closest to Andrea.
Ivy calmed herself and recalled that
the only times she left her seat were
when she went to the bathroom, and
when she left to retrieve the bouquet from the lounge.
