A lump floated in Aegri's throat, blocking any words that dared crawl out to deny that statement.
So, with her keeping quiet, Ayse gave her a thumbs-up.
"Don't worry about things that you can't control. What you should worry about is how you react to the things you can't control."
Another bump of backlash hopped out of Aegri's throat. "W-what could you mean? If I don't answer and explain myself, then… th-then…"
"Then what? They'll call again?"
Chuckling, Ayse shrugged off her concern.
"Sure, those pricks can hire lackeys to try and cause some shit. But so did you. You've already got yourself a private security detail committed to you. The same security detail who already turned those bastards down.
"So stop wasting your breath on the shit at the side of the road. Keep your head up and move on. Enjoy life while you can. Ain't that why you took this big trip in the first place?"
