章 2025: Meeting the Council (3)

By now, Sarah realized that Albert was set on sabotaging her, and Sarah was angry. Not because Albert didn't like her, but because they called her here without previously sorting their own ranks. Jarred should know that Albert (and maybe a few other people present) were not willing to extend this offer to Sarah so, why was she here? They made an elaborate show of inviting her with all the secrecy only so that she can look at their internal power struggle with her in the middle? These people wasted not only her time but the time of everyone who is outside, watching her back.

She remembered how anxious Aiden was, and she was anxious as well, and for what? For her to come here and see Albert acting like a child who was denied candy? Sarah didn't know about Albert's motives and she didn't care. She cared only about Aiden and her people and they were all in distress over this joke of a meeting.
