When the reporters finally spoke, they first congratulated Anya, "Ms. Owen, Congratulations on your award." Followed by it, many congratulated her.
Anya just followed a simple psychological tactic. If the opposition is aggressive, one should stay extremely cool. It would make them wonder about their actions and fix their behavior.
When the silence enveloped. "Thank you for your good wishes." Anya plainly responded, flashing a faint smile. She neither looked excited nor irritated at their behavior.
A reporter in front of her asked mildly unliking how they had attacked her with questions. "How do you feel about receiving the award at such a young age?"
Others waited for her to respond and their turn for questioning.
Zane was amused by how Anya controlled the whole crowd with just small actions. He took the trays from her hand and went back to his grandparents.
