Samantha glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Walter.
She swiped her finger on the screen and answered the call. "Hello, Mr. Schuck."
Walter's voice came from the other end. "How are you, Sammy?"
"I hurt my waist and would have to stay in bed for a week, but other than that, there's nothing to worry about. I'm fine," Samantha replied.
Walter sighed in relief when he heard that and expressed his heartfelt admiration. "You did a very good job today, Sammy."
After a pause, he added, "There's one more thing. The date of the second round has been changed to tomorrow, but because of your outstanding performance in today's incident, you have already demonstrated your dedication as an anchor and will therefore advance directly to the final round. In the meantime, take care of yourself and continue recovering at home."
That news was far beyond what Samantha expected.
