We Got Married

58

In a certain Radio Station

Director Bang felt awkward as he looked at Lisa, who made a sudden appearance in his office. Blinking rapidly, he incredulously asked: "You...you're asking for maternity leave?"

"Yes, I hope you'll approve it." Lisa was a little embarrassed. "I know that I'm being irresponsible asking for leave just when the show's becoming more popular. But you can be rest assured: I will persevere until you find a good successor."

"That's not..." Director Bang waved a hand, "Are you married? Why didn't I know this? Didn't you come to our radio station after recently graduating?"

"I came to the radio station the day after I got married. We haven't done our wedding though." Lisa smiled and awkwardly invited him, "If you have the time, please come."

"Why didn't you say that in the first place? If I knew you were a newlywed, I wouldn't have given you the midnight slot." Director Bang was surprised.

Lisa laughed but said nothing.

"Well..." Director Bang thought for a while before saying, "I wanted to tell you later on since it hasn't been finalized, but since you're pregnant, I'll tell you in advance as a present."

"What's the matter, director?" Lisa saw puzzled.

"Ever since you started Midnight Phantom, our listener ratings have steadily risen. You're practically our golden ace right now." Director Bang said, "Especially last year, when you saved a lot of people from that highway accident. Even out district governer praised you by name! There was also that dangerous listener that you handled quite well, you're very prominent ah!"

"Director I'm flattered by all your praise, but it was something anyone would do." Lisa stayed modest.

"I'm not exaggerating, your accomplishments are obvious. In fact, the Big Boss in Taiwan has long noticed you." Director Bang said.

"Big Boss?" Lisa wondered.

"City TV Station is planning a new interview series and the producer of the show is interested in you, wanting you to be the host. They've been in touch with us already." Director Bang laughed.

"City TV? A talk show?" Having such a big pie fall out of the sky and onto her lap, Lisa was stunned.

"A TV show can be recorded beforehand so you wouldn't need to stay up so late." Director Bang said, "This is a great opportunity for you."

The radio station moved quickly after that. In less than two weeks, a new host had been found to take over Lisa's program.

Tonight was the last time Lisa would be hosting Midnight Phantom.

"Hello everyone, this is FM9666, I welcome everyone back after the advertisement. This is DJ Lilly. I've said this line countless times, but now that this is the last time I'm saying it, Likky is reluctant. Everyone knows by now that this will be the last time I'm hosting Midnight Phantom, and I'm not sure if I can come back."

Lisa watched her computer screen, the messages constantly scrolling past gradually making her tear up.

Lisa looked up and saw the time. There was still half an hour before the broadcast ends. Lisa tried to keep her spirits up as she followed the usual procedure: "Alright, let's see what stories the Ms. Beauties and Mr. Strongs have for us tonight."

"Hello, this is Lilly." Lisa connected a call.

"Is it connected? Are we through?" A girl's voice could be heard. She was clearly very excited, like she couldn't believe she was talking on the radio.
