After washing her face, she sat down on her bed, wanting to lie down but found herself sitting up stiffly as she stared at the phone on her nightstand.


    She desperately wanted to speak to someone but knew better than to tell her family about the incident because she knew that they would definitely try to punish whoever did it, and she did not wish to get her family involved when she had no proof of who swapped her script.


    She picked up her phone and texted Harry. After giving a brief exnation of what happened, she begged him to keep it a secret from her parents.


    After sending the message, she spotted Lucas''s name on her contact list, and she stared at it contemtively, wondering how he was.


    It had been over half a year since shest saw him, but it felt as though it had been years.


    She became someone else and learned so much that she was no longer the same person, so she wondered if Lucas felt like a brand-new person as well in his new environment.


    She took a deep breath and clicked on his contact, before sending him a message.


    [Mr. Lucas, have you returned home for the winter holidays? I''m guessing that you haven''t. I don''t know if I''m right, but no matter what, I want you to be happy. I started an internship during this holiday. I''m an intern broadcaster now, and I am working at a television station. I used to dream about having a proper job and I didn''t expect my dream toe true so soon. It feels surreal, almost. Let me show you a photo I took of myself in the studio!]


    She attached a photo of herself and continued. [I look all grown up, don''t I? I used to fantasize if you would recognize me if we ever meet again. I know that I would definitely recognize you. After I graduate from university, I will travel back to Taronia to see Grandma. It would be great if you are in Taronia by then as well.]


    ...


    At nine the next morning, Elliot received the video of Ivy''s broadcast from Harry, and he watched it with Avery by his side on the television in the living room.


    After ten minutes, Elliot scowled


    when he noticed that Ivy had


    lowered her gaze to her script and


    paused even though the news she


    was reporting had note to an


    end.


    It would have never happened under normal circumstances, and he realized that something must have happened.


    "Why isn''t Ivy looking at the camera?" Avery noticed it as well and grabbed onto Elliot''s hand.


    Just then, Ivy looked up again and proceeded with the show.


    "Maybe she was nervous!" Elliot said. "Harry didn''t mention anything, so I don''t think there''s anything to worry about."


    "Oh... Well, it''s her second day so it''s normal for her to feel nervous." Avery sighed a breath of relief when she saw that Ivy recovered from the shock.


    After watching the show, Avery picked up her phone and searched for Ivy''s name on the inte.


    Ivy had used her actual name as her broadcaster name, and Avery instantly saw thetest articles andments concerning Ivy''s show.


    One of theizensmented. [In


    thetest showst night, I noticed that Ivy paused for five seconds nine minutes and thirty-one seconds. Is this considered an
