Chapter 751: Chapter 751: I’ve Waited for You for Half a Year

Claire Sinclair said, "Teacher Hartwell, I didn’t become a journalist to chase fame and fortune. I just want to write good articles and be a voice for the vulnerable."

But Henry Hartwell said, "Theo Rhodes has completely taken up your mantle. You can rest easy with him here. Besides, your status is different now. I know what you want to accomplish, but you have to think this through. Young Master Quincy only gave you one year. Can you really grow as a person if you spend that year at Astoria Daily?"

Claire Sinclair raised an eyebrow. "He even told you about the one-year deadline?"

"That’s not important," Henry Hartwell said. "I hope you can think carefully for your own sake, and for Young Master Quincy’s sake as well."

Claire Sinclair bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Teacher Hartwell, what would I even do if I went to the television station?"

Henry Hartwell encouraged her, "Just go over and be an intern for a month or so. You’ll find your footing eventually. Have some confidence in yourself, and you’ll get past this phase of uncertainty more quickly."

"Alright, I’ll go give it a try. Who should I ask for when I get there?" Claire Sinclair asked.

"Go look for Sophia."

"Okay." Claire Sinclair nodded.

After leaving the office, Claire Sinclair wanted to head straight to the television station building next door.

Hughes suddenly called out to her, "Claire Sinclair, are you leaving?"

Claire Sinclair nodded, saying with a look of regret, "Yeah, Teacher Hartwell doesn’t want me anymore."

"What?" Hughes exclaimed. "What do you mean Teacher Hartwell doesn’t want you? You’re saying he won’t let you keep working at Astoria Daily?"

"Yes, Teacher Hartwell said the paper has enough people and told me to find opportunities elsewhere." Claire Sinclair didn’t mention that Teacher Hartwell was transferring her to the television station, fearing people would again say she was pulling strings.

Hughes also sounded regretful. "That’s such a shame. You’re such a great writer. Seriously, Hanson... how could he let you go!"

Claire Sinclair smiled and said, "We have to give the newcomers a chance, you know. It’s fine. Cream always rises to the top. I’ll just go somewhere else and start fresh."

Hughes said, "You’re so inspiring. You’ve got this!"

Claire Sinclair smiled, then turned and left.

The moment she walked out of the office, the others immediately started talking:

"Why did Editor Hartwell let Claire Sinclair go? Didn’t our paper just post a job opening yesterday?"

"I think it might be because Claire Sinclair is the President’s ex-girlfriend. That kind of thing is really sensitive."

"To be honest, Claire Sinclair’s articles have a lot of depth. I actually decided to become a journalist at Astoria Daily because I read her work."

"Hey... what do you guys think she’s been doing for the last six months? There’s been no news about her at all."

Although Astoria Television was in the building right next to Astoria Daily, this was Claire Sinclair’s first time stepping inside.

When she arrived at the television station’s main office, she once again drew quite a few stares.

Claire Sinclair asked a staff member for Holly Fleur’s office number and went straight over to knock.

Only after hearing a response from within did she push the door open and enter.

Holly Fleur was now the deputy director of Astoria Television, as well as the host and producer of the popular show *Clear Talk*. Everyone at the station called her Sister Sophia.

Claire Sinclair walked up to Holly Fleur and greeted her politely, "Sister Sophia, I’m here."

Holly Fleur looked up, her eyes meeting Claire’s, and said with a smile, "I’ve been waiting for you for six months."

"Huh?" Claire Sinclair was a little taken aback.

’Sister Sophia has been waiting for me? What’s so special about me that she’d wait?’

Holly Fleur said, "Right now, I have several programs that need someone to take the lead—we have openings both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Of course, you could also opt for a desk job. So, what would you like to do?"
