Hidden Arrangement

For some reasons, Adela felt that something was strange.

It was just she couldn't pinpoint what it was. 

Besides, with her action not really in alignment with the real Adela, Adela had long known that there would be many things that she changed. For example, her interaction with the others and the skewed event not long ago. 

It should have happened many years later but it happened far earlier. 

So Aurora going out might have something to do with the few things that she changed?

"I have work to do," Aurora replied, a gentle smile on her face. It was just that this smile didn't reach her eyes at all.

Unfortunately, Adela was not sharp enough to see that Aurora's smile was more of a polite smile rather than the same genuine smile that Aurora used to show to her sister. 

"Oh." Adela nodded dumbly.

She knew that Aurora was usually very busy, but she didn't think that she would be so busy to this extent.
