"Hey, do you want to play as well? You'll get bored while standing and looking at us all the time. You should try your hand at this game as well."
Clement did not like the councilwoman but he did feel sorry for her. He could tell that she was forced to keep an eye on their club.
And it might be devious of him to do this, but he wanted the councilwoman to enjoy herself and get attached to their club. That way, she would have a hard time going against them in the future.
"You want me to play? I think I would prefer to stay on the sidelines instead. I am not good at games."
The councilwoman quickly made an excuse to not be a part of the club.
First, she did not like the kind of looks she was getting from the people inside. Clement might have asked her to join the club activities but the other members of the club were less than welcoming.
