There was a brief silence on the other end of the call. "Mr. Lockhart, Thea is a public figure. She wouldn't say anything reckless. It's your wife-

"I know my wife," Zev cut in, his voice dropping. "She's not the type to pick fights, especially online. If she reacted, it meant Thea pushed her first." A bad feeling crept over him. He knew Thea had stirred up trouble.

"Thea was just expressing nostalgia about her past relationship."

"Nostalgia?" Zev scoffed. "I'm alive. I have a wife, a family. What's there to reminisce about? She's a public figure shouldn't she know better? Maybe she's been too sheltered to understand the consequences, but you're her manager. Are you just as clueless? You knew it would stir backlash, yet you let her post it anyway. And after the damage was done, instead of handling it, you came to my wife? She's not an influencer, just an ordinary person. Why shouldn't she respond?"

His patience was gone. Protecting his loved ones was second nature-it didn't take thought, just instinct.

Forcing her to delete her Twitter would damage her image-it's like making her admit fault, which could harm her career," the manager coaxed, speaking in a hushed tone after a long silence. "Can you ask your wife to take down her post and apologize?"

She was trying to get Zev to do her a favor.
