Rosalynn and Jacob talked back and forth, and cooperated very well.
Sanderson's face almost couldn't hide his embarrassment. Swallowing his pride, he forced a smile and said hastily, "My apologies, I was short-sighted, Ms. Tesdal. I hope you can forgive my rudeness."
Rosalynn offered a small, knowing smile but didn't commit to a response.
Sanderson's lips twitched twice before he reluctantly took his seat again.
Just as he was about to suggest starting the meeting, Jacob's voice beat him to the punch, "Let's get started, shall we?"
Sanderson felt a burning sense of humiliation and disgrace, and at that moment, he was itching to take his frustration out on someone with a slap.d2
"Shall we get straight to the vote?" Sanderson scanned his allies for support.
"Obviously, we vote first, elect a new chairman, and let them tackle the pressing issues facing the Strand Group."
"Yeah, let's vote first," chorused his faction.
Jacob's allies were not to be outdone. "Wait, what's the rush? If you ask me, we should lay out the issues the Strand Group has faced over the years, find the responsible parties, and see who's been muddying the waters!"
"What do you mean by that?" one of Sanderson's supporters snapped. "Are you insinuating someone here is playing dirty?"
"Exactly, we've already addressed the group's issues in the last few months, haven't we? Graham was ousted for those very reasons. Or do you need a refresher on the missteps of certain veterans here?"
