She drove out of the parking lot and hurried home. By this point, her two kids were probably already asleep. Once this whole fiasco was over, she wanted to spend some quality time with them.
Her phone rang out of the blue. Glancing at the caller ID, she quickly popped on her Bluetooth headset to answer.
"Violette! Have you checked Twitter yet? I'm pissed off!" On the other end was Odette Farrar's angry voice, "You generously gave out drones to the customers, and now a bunch of people are dragging your name through the mud online!"
Violette had seen this coming from a mile away. Reaves told her straight up, as long as she didn't share her core tech, she wouldn't get anywhere domestically. She had managed to piss off eighty percent of the domestic capital.
Regardless of what she did, they would definitely hire an online mob to come after her. Right now, her mission was just to weather the storm. She believed in her product, and knew it could win over real customers.
"I haven’t checked, and you shouldn't either." She responded, cool as a cucumber.
"How can I pretend not to see it when it's in my face? I'm currently in a war of words with those trolls online!" Odette fumed, "Violette, I've rallied all my friends to support your product! You have to hang in there!"
"Thanks for that! But don't bother next time."
"If I were in your shoes, you'd help me out too!" Odette suddenly changed the subject, "I'm not going to Elijah's engagement party tomorrow."
Violette couldn't help but chuckle, "Odette, it's not necessary."
"It absolutely is! I can't stand Elijah! And Sarah is such a bitch! Going to watch them get engaged is nothing short of masochistic!"
Since Odette was so worked up, Violette didn't push the matter.
