She had not expected someone toe and swap her script during a small window of chance.
She realized that the person who did this bore the most malicious intent.
The first two pages were normal, everything from the third page onwards had been swapped, so the person who did it intentionally wanted Ivy to make a mistake halfway through her broadcast, and Ivy was rendered speechless by how vicious this person was.
"Ivy, I didn''t do it. I swear, it wasn''t me," Anthony, who was one of the interns from the third year, spoke out.
Anthony was an introvert and rarely interacted with others.
Each person had their own cubicle, and Anthony''s seat was located the furthest from the entrance.
"Is there any surveince in here?" Ivy asked the staff.
Without proof, she dared not to make any usations as she would destroy Andrea if Andrea was not the person who did it.
The staff shook his head. "There are cameras in the corridor but not in here."
"Without any surveince footage, there''s no way to tell who did it." Ivy was slightly upset but remained calm. "Forget it. It''s my fault for being careless. I''ve learned my lesson tonight. I will keep my script with me at all times and check them right before the show from now on."
"It is challenging to get to the bottom of this without surveince footage, but there were only a few of you backstage, so there are only a few people who could have swapped your script." The staff was angry on Ivy''s behalf and deadpanned, "Had you not memorized the script, your show would have been disrupted, and you wouldn''t have been able to defend yourself even if someone plotted against you because broadcasters are supposed to check their script right before the show. It''s in the guidebook."
"Yes. I was being careless and gave the chance for someone to do such a thing." Ivy was no longer as upset now that she realized that she had been far too inexperienced and trusting.
Her family had alwaysplimented her for being cautious but reality had proven them wrong, and she reminded herself to be more careful from this moment onward.
"Alright, don''t feel guilty. You
performed well tonight and the
number of viewers for tonight''s
show skyrocketed. Go home and et
rest. Once Mr. Gardneres to work tomorrow, I will tell him what happened," the staff member
consoled her.
"Maybe we shouldn''t tell him," Ivy muttered hesitantly. "Someone is definitely pulling the strings, but I''m partly responsible for this as well."
"Even if we can''t find who did this, I need to report this to Mr. Gardner. Don''t overthink it. Go home!"
"Okay."
On her way home, Ivy stared out the car window dazedly.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
Her instincts told her that Andrea is the
scripton who had swapped her
and she recalled how gentle
and kind Andrea appeared to be when they had been chatting earlier. en.swhovels
Without surveince footage or proof, Ivy could not punish the person who did it, and even if she suspected Andrea of it, she could only tolerate it in silence because the true culprit would never admit to their crimes without proof
Ivy could already picture how Andrea would talk to her in a more innocent manner than Anthorny would ever use.
Since there was no actual damage to Ivy''s show, she could let it go but was simply disgusted from the bottom of her heart by the fact that someone did such a thing.
Once she arrived home, she noticed the lights were on, but both her parents and Robert were nowhere to be seen in the living room.
Assuming that they had let the lights on for her sake, she turned them off and turned on the shlight on her phone after changing into her slippers.
She carefully went up the stairs, worrying that she might wake her parents, but she did not.
She returned to her room and changed into her pajamas, before heading into the bathroom to wash her face.
Her mind was filled with the incident that happened earlier that night and did not notice that she was washing her face with ice-cold water.
