The atmosphere felt so tense, and everyone seemed stunned into silence for a couple of seconds. They probably didn’t know just how long those few seconds felt to me as I waited to see how everyone would react. Honestly, I wasn’t most worried about what the reporters thought of us or what they would have to say or write about. What worried me the most was the reactions of the people I knew and those that are close to me.
I knew that it wouldn’t be long until everyone at the company found out about this. My colleagues, friends, and family would hear about this. The only thing that comforted me was the fact that my mother had known about this for a long while already and she wouldn’t need to learn about this from the news.
