"This is getting complicated. Our high-profile clients, boards, and even regular customers are reacting strongly. I advise you not to come to the company for now, until it dies down."
Selina's eyes widened, dumbfounded for a while. Her grasp around the phone tightened like an anchor to steady herself.
She couldn't believe this was escalating so quickly.
"Fine. I won't show up for a while." She murmured.
"I hope you don't take this too seriously… or harm yourself, like before. I mean it for the sake of your child—I believe he's Zane's," Clarissa said softly with strong conviction.
"I won't,"
"What will you do, Selina? You can't just let this ruin you."
"I'm just… confused. I don't know what to do," she admitted.
"We might not always be on good terms, and I've blamed you for what happened to Dad before, but I can't bear to see this happen to you. Take care of yourself, okay?"
"Hmm," Selina whispered, and the call ended.
