"If her dad is that powerful, why is she studying here at all? The TV station is run by the country. It's not privately owned!" someone said. "Besides, we would have known if the station manager's daughter is here!"
"Let me check the name of the station manager..." One of the students from Ivy's class pulled out his phone and began searching the internet. "The station manager's family name isn't Foster, so I don't think she is related to him!"
"How did she get in, then? She is just a pretty face with an accent. Can she even do her job? It's not like they are starting a show to display different accents! Haha!"
"Hey, settle down... If she manages to get into the program, it means that she has some level of competency. If she hears you talking about her like that, you might lose your chances of getting into the station in the future!" someone else reminded the others.
"What a joke! There is more than one TX station in Avonsville! Apart from the one for the State, there are ones for the city and the towns! I doubt Ivy can reach every single TV station! Even if she has that kind of power, I can always leave Avonsville!"
...
Meredith listened to the others talk and felt conflicted.
Ivy did not know about the internship at the beginning, and it was Meredith who had told her about it.
Meredith had even sent her the application form, and at the time, Ivy had seemed sincere when she said that she did not think she stood a chance.
Meredith would never speak ill of Ivy behind her back, but like the others, she thought that Ivy certainly was not capable enough to host a show.
She took out her phone and texted Ivy to inform her that she had been selected as one of the interns; she did not ask Ivy about how she had managed to be selected, because it seemed inappropriate to do so.
Ivy valued her privacy and Meredith knew that Ivy might ignore her if she asked questions about it.
After sending the message, she received a reply from Ivy shortly after.
[Alright. Thank you.]
