Ben went to meet with Anathi. While Anathi was making tea for them, Ben checked the news on social media. He came across an article about Luyolo that made him unhappy.

He expressed to Anathi his belief that people can be merciless. Ben argued that Luyolo did not deserve to be treated poorly after saving lives. Anathi warned Ben that if he wasn’t careful, people would also talk about him. Ben insisted that he did not want his company to be mentioned in articles. He stressed the importance of ensuring that people focused solely on Luyolo. Anathi pointed out that it was too late, as Ben’s company was already involved in everything that had happened at the hospital. Ben suggested deflecting attention. Anathi cautioned that this would be risky, as people were aware of their relationship. Anathi asked Ben about Fikile. Ben told Anathi that he should not tell Fikile anything.
