Chapter 8 "Clashing Wills And Unexpected Alliances"

• Nervously, Sabrina wiped her clammy palms against her jeans as she followed the maid's lead. They arrived once again at Seb's study, a place that held an air of mystery and intrigue. The maid stopped and motioned for Sabrina to approach the door. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Sabrina knocked twice, the sound echoing through the room.
• From within, a voice beckoned her to enter with a simple "come in." Peering cautiously into the room, she spotted Seb and Vidhant seated at the study table, engrossed in conversation. Vidhant's eyes met hers, and he called her over with a warm smile, while Seb's gaze remained detached and seemingly uninterested.
• As Sabrina made her way towards them, a murmured thought escaped her lips, barely audible. "What's with this man always shooting daggers towards me?" She couldn't help but notice the intensity of Seb's gaze, which seemed to hold a tinge of hostility. Dismissing the uneasy feeling, she pulled out a chair next to Vidhant and settled herself, ready to join the conversation, while Seb maintained his position across from them.
