Clear the air.

 A few nervous feet shuffled and more than a few unhappy eyes glared at the female reporter. Of all the questions to ask, why was she going in that direction? 

The female reporter, despite being nervous, thought in her mind, "It's just a harmless question, why is she over reacting?"

Ramslin laughed, and he clapped his hands three times. "Everyone, let's slow down, this reporter, you should apologize for asking such an inappropriate question." 

"Yes, governor, she should apologize." Minister Maurey was very much on board with Ramslin's suggestion. 

He even shot a few pleading glances Scarlet's way, hoping that she would put down her anger and see the bigger picture. They needed investors on the Blue star, the publicity provided by Ramslin would do that. Other big stars would follow him, and soon it would be directors, film companies and the like. They needed a variety of industries to develop, not just food.
