If she returned to the classroom, her classmates would ambush her with questions about the internship.
As she hurried toward the entrance, she heard someone calling out to her from behind.
It was Meredith.
Ivy stopped and waited for Meredith to catch up.
"Ivy, how did you do on the exam? We share the sexam hall for the next exam, so let's get lunch together!"
"I planned on ordering delivery."
"Oh. Are you going home?" Meredith was shocked. "I thought you would eat outside and wanted to have lunch with you!"
Ivy felt slightly awkward and said, "Let's have lunch outside, then!"
"Haha. It's my treat. Don't worry, | won't ask about the internship because I've already asked my aunt about it."

Ivy blushed at her words. "What did your aunt say?"
"She asked around but her friend in the TV station didn't know much. Someone else told her later on that the normal procedures
were followed for the selection of the interns and that you were selected because they were impressed by your tape." Meredith had
do I."
"Thank you, Meredith! | am far from great, but | will work hard to catch up." The two arrived at the canteen and once they sat
down, Ivy handed Meredith the menu. "It's my treat!"
"Haha. Sure! You will receive a salary once you start the internship anyway."
"Am | going to get paid?" Ivy did not know about the salary agreement.
She had thought that the students were the beneficiaries of the internship, so there would be no salary like hospital interns.
"Aren't interns paid?" Meredith was taken by surprise. "I don't really know actually, but | don't think it's appropriate for them not to
pay you if you are working for them, right?"
"lI haven't signed the contract yet, so | don't know about the salary, but I've read somewhere that interns at hospitals don't get
paid."
"Oh... Hospitals are different, but I'm sure that the TV station will pay you. | heard that you can start working in the station right
after you graduate if you perform well. Ivy, do you want to be a host at the station?"
Ivy thought about it and nodded.
She liked the field and wanted to be an excellent host.
"You have a great chance, unlike me. | want to be a TV host as well." Meredith lowered her gaze to look at the menu, before
handing it over to Ivy once she had placed her order.
"There's no need to be so pessimistic, Meredith. You are brilliant, and I'm sure you will fulfill your dream. If | get to stay at the
station, | will rmend you to them when they start picking interns again."
She had let her guard down after Meredith said she trusted Ivy, and neither Elliot nor Avery had stopped Ivy from having friends at
school.

"I will make sure that | stay close to you, then." Meredith beamed. "Ignore what the others are saying about you. | read on 'Chicken
Soup for the Soul’ that the road to success is always rough. You won't get to where you want to go unless you stay focused on your
goal."
"I will take that chicken soup."
"Hahaha!"
Once the exams ended three days later, Ivy delayed no further and contacted Harry right away.
"Rest well tonight ande to the station and ask fortomorrow. You need to relax after the exam, so don't be too nervous."
Harry's gentle voice calmed Ivy down.
"Mr. Gardner, have the other interns started yet?"
"The ones from the third and fourth years have started, and the one from the second year has justpleted her exam today as
well. Your show will start right after hers. Hers will be from two to two-fifty in the morning, and yours will be from three to half past
three."
"Okay."
