She took off her cloak and placed it on the foot of the last stair leading up the podium. She has an announcement to make and she would like everyone to hear it. Not just an announcement, but she also wanted to openly thank and congratulate Joel for accepting the role. After this, she would leave never to be seen again.
Underneath the cloak was an elegant white dress. The hem of the dress had an ash flame-like lining that wasn't longer than three inches paired with black stilettos on her feet. She stood and looked at the audience, she shut her eyes and took a deep breath. This was it, after this, it would be all over. She thought to herself.
Sam and Joel saw her heading up and quickly followed her, stopping her before she could be seen by the guests. Standing in front of her and blocking her path, they stared at her with raised brows. Sam had her hands across her chest as she stood in askance.
