Just then, the ringtone of May Sloane's phone suddenly rang, interrupting Tiana Thorne's train of thought.
Tiana was sitting close enough to see the caller ID clearly: President Pace.
The two exchanged glances.
Tiana gave her a look that said not to back down.
May answered Cody Pace's call, putting it on speaker with a smile flickering at her cheeks, and in an official tone said, "President Pace."
"Was this incident caused by you guys?"
Cody Pace had already confirmed, which is why he called; there was no hiding it. Tiana signaled her to answer truthfully.
May replied, "Yes."
Before Cody Pace could explode with anger, May quickly reassured him, "Rest assured, President Pace, this will not have any negative impact on Zenith Media."
"If the crew's meals are too bland, take Tiana out to eat occasionally. After all, with so much blood loss, I don't want her health to affect the current buzz."
Cody Pace's voice was even more formal than May's.
