Ivy glanced at the ending sentence of the last page and looked up to face the camera, before continuing.
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 accident 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 body language 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 playing the video concerning the third piece of news, an advertisement was played, 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 ninety seconds of advertisement, the show came on. Ivy had regained her composure with the newly printed copy of her script before her.
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.
