After the introduction, the reporters and other staff gathered in the newsroom.
The Cooper's newsroom was large, occupying the whole floor of the building and was divided by a glass door.
Lisa looked at the studio room where the staff was currently recording the noon report.
They had the usual meeting where each one of them was assigned their tasks.
Director Holmes immediately assigned Lisa to live reporting team, and Lisa couldn't help but show her excitement.
"Isn't it a bit early to entrust to a newbie a live reporting at the field? Shouldn't she stay a bit here and do clerical work?" commented Thea with an arched eyebrow.
'Clerical work like buying you a coffee?' Lisa answered inwardly but chose to remain quiet and let it go because it was not worth her time.
Thea looked at Lisa directly as she said, "Aren't I right?"
She was irritated to see Lisa's calm expression.
It's like Lisa was mocking her and she hated it.
Lisa answered with a blank face, "I'm confident in my abilities. Besides, I know what to do very well since I had my internship here. I ran with Field Reporters almost all the time, and most of the Seniors here also know me since I have worked with them."
"Oh, I see... So, you think that just because they know you and you had your internship here, you are ahead of others. While they will be stuck here doing what a newbie should do first, you can go and do fieldwork?!" counter-questioned Thea who was openly bullying Lisa in front of everybody.
"Hmm, I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to imply. But rest assured, you can tell it straightforwardly. What a newbie should do first?! I am a reporter. Does it matter if I'm a newbie or not?" Lisa retorted in her usual calm and nonchalant tone.
This time Senior Grant interrupted, "We are already acquainted with how Lisa works, and I will bet my name for her. I agree with Director Holmes, Lisa should do that interview."
Producer Hana stated her agreement too, which made Thea even more irritated. She knew that Lisa was from a prominent family because her profile was hard to find out.
For now, all she knew was that she was Jungkook's current girlfriend. Her assistant could only gather basic information about her, like the school she went to and also that she had been admitted to the Military Academy.
The moment Thea encountered Lisa at the bar, where the latter bid for Jungkook with such ridiculously high price, she knew that Lisa was a threat.
That moment, she was threatened, and just recently it came to her knowledge that the two had suddenly got official.
She waited for long years to finally get back… She would surely get back what was hers from the start... She would get her man back from her…
"Still, why we should give that work to her when we have a lot of more experienced reporters. I don't trust her yet…" mumbled Thea that made Lisa's facial muscles flinch.
'What a bitch!' She mused.
"Well, I think it's better I start my work now, so our main Anchor here can witness my performance. After that, you can say whatever you want to say. I believe the time is gold for us." Scoffed Lisa that made Senior Grant shout, "Alright, people go now, chop, chop!"
In that instant, they all scattered to proceed with the tasks.
Luke and Jazz, who were staying in the newsroom, bid her good luck.
