Mara sighed, her eyes narrowing slightly. "It's complicated," she said. "But Vera and Mr Turner will explain everything to you soon. All I can say is that she's just looking out for you, you're the only backwood left and it's her job.”

Mara shook her head, a small smile on her lips. "No, Vera's not my boss. Just like her, I also work for the Blackwood Consortium … but I do consider her a friend more than a business associate."
