"Why should I be the one to face her? You're the one in the middle of this drama. I'll just end up in Inga's crosshairs if I go," protested Jada, feeling unfairly dragged into a situation that wasn't her making.

"Look, Inga already suspects we're allies. It's irrelevant who goes. Plus, this is your chance to shine in front of Mr. Carson," encouraged Emma, her eyes twinkling with mischief, implying a deeper game at play.

Jada's cheeks turned a shade of pink, wondering if Emma had guessed her secret admiration for Mr. Carson. She could read between the lines in Emma's knowing look. "Alright, I'll go now. And you'll have to sort out this mess alone!" she retorted, a mix of annoyance and excitement in her voice.
