I've also sent you the recording schedule and key notes for 'Against All Odds.' Rafael's announcement has caused quite a stir with his fans, and they've been saying sharsh things online. Don't let it get to you, though." Khloe couldn't help but smile as she listened to Tess ramble on. Before she could reply, Henrik grabbed the phone from her hand, his voice stern.
