Zane quickened his pace after hearing the news.

Although Eric was very interested in what would happen next, he also understood that this was something between Zane and Annalise.

"I'm fine." I looked at him, puzzled. "Why?"

Zane looked concerned as he took my hand. "I heard from Eric that someone's been insulting you?

"Oh, you're talking about this." I chuckled and said, "It's nothing. It was just Jessica trying to stir things up.

"After I handled it, I made sure to drag her down with me. Now, more people are criticizing her than criticizing me."

Zane finally relaxed. "So, you're not angry?"

I answered, "At this point, being angry won't solve anything. It's better to take this opportunity to think about how to flip this crisis."
