"I didn't see that coming either. After your show, our parents rushed out of their room and came downstairs for supper," Robert said in awe. "I guess they were excited."
"It's just an internship. Why would they be so excited?" Ivy asked.
"I guess they are glad to see you all grown up! You are brilliant and can easily make it on your own without their support. They are proud of you."
"I see! Robert, you should go to sleep! Stop playing with your phone." Ivy took his hand and pushed him toward the stairs.
"I'm not playing with my phone. I'm researching sales positions." Robert showed her the screen on his phone. "Dad told me to work my way up, and I can't embarrass him."
"How could you ever embarrass him? You are great," Ivy said. "Robert, you are absolutely awesome and can do anything."
"Thank you. I got a fake ID anyway. I don't want others to know that I'm a Foster," Robert said.
"Sure! No one will know who you really are, then."
"Yeah! If you can rely on yourself, so can I." Robert had made the decision to intern at his father's company because of Ivy's influence.
"You will do great, Robert. Go to bed! You can't stay up all night from now on. Keep an eye on Mom and Dad to keep them from doing so as well." Ivy felt more and more guilty when she thought of how her parents stayed up for her sake.
"Alright. Come upstairs with me. You should go to sleep as well."
