Pov Buffy

An hour later, Buffy Summers entered the office of the new director of the New York Institute - Victor Aldertree, whom she knew and was aware that he already considered her friend Jace a traitor to the Clave, without any evidence for his baseless accusations. He wanted to prove that Jace was working with father.

Buffy knew better than to have him as an enemy because he was an important member of the Clave and the blonde girl didn't want to endanger herself or her unborn child. That's why she had to be nice to him and control her emotions.

- You wanted to talk to me - Buffy said and saw Victor Aldertree, who was standing with his back to her.

- That's true, Buffy. We haven't seen each other for a long time and you are still training vampire slayers with the help of your deputies and creating your army to fight vampires that kill people and you help us on missions many times - Victor said when he turned towards the blonde girl and he saw that the Buffy was pregnant. - And congratulations on your pregnancy

- Thank you - The blonde girl said with a fake smile and sat down on the sofa.

- Sorry about the camera, but like I told your friends, this is an official matter, so... I have to be formal. Let's talk about Jace now - Victor said as he started recording.

- good - Buffy said calmly.

- Did you feel like Jace Wayland saved your life when he left with Valentine? - Victor asked and looked at the pregnant girl.

Buffy hated the way Aldertree looked at her, because she it made her shiver and disgusted.

- It's not an impression as you put it. Jace wanted to protect me and our friends from that's why he went with Valentine - The Blonde girl replied as she looked at Victor.

- Was Jace close to Valentine? - Victor Aldertree asked the blonde girl.

- He wasn't close to Valentine because he hated him. Jace wanted to warn us that Valentine was on his way to us - Buffy replied calmly.

- So Jace knew in advance that Valentine was setting a trap? How do you think he knew that? - Aldertree asked.

- Honestly, I have no idea how Jace knew this, but he needs to be found - Buffy replied.

- Buffy, believe me, I want to find him. Now you can go - Victor stated as he looked at the blonde girl in front of him and stopped the camera. - I hope we'll talk again

Buffy left his office.
