"What is that about?" Aries mumbled to herself, staring at the shut door Dexter closed from the outside. 

Conan and Dexter simply left, just like that. It wouldn't be suspicious if this was in the past, since Dexter couldn't stand Abel and Conan, and Conan couldn't stand Abel and Dexter. And hence, she would mostly spend time with either of them alone. But now, it seemed like they had this non-verbatim agreement and left her in the dark.

"Abel?" she narrowed her eyes and shot the man across from her a suspicious look. "Care to tell me what is going on?"

Abel was leaning his back against the seat, arms crossed. "I'm not following, darling."

"Don't give me that excuse. I know you. You will not agree with my brother's suggestion that easily unless I asked for it." Aries raised her chin and crossed her arms. "Don't lie to me and you know I hate it when I'm kept in the dark."
