Tranquility
The videographer gave a thumbs-up and discreetly exchanged a glance with me.
My phone rang, and it was Beatrice calling.
I answered, "What’s up?"
Beatrice chuckled. "What an impressive composure, Lily. The internet is flooded with criticism of you, yet you remain so calm."
Her purpose for this call was definitely not to exchange pleasantries, so I feigned concern. "I must admit, it's been quite challenging for me too. How about you clarify the situation?"
"Well, Lily, you aren’t that great after all. It won’t be difficult for me to clear your name." Beatrice seemed quite satisfied with my attitude as she directly laid out her conditions.
