Elysande tilted her head, gazing at Adam with slight confusion. "That's very strange of you to say. Is everything alright?"
Adam raised his head and flashed a brilliant smile. "No, everything's great!"
He paused, trying his best not to divert his gaze from the woman again. "I just think you should be the one to handle the auction, is all. You're far more suited to mercantile endeavours than I am."
The brown-haired woman sighed, shaking her head lightly. "Well, there is a reason why Lady Benton asked us to do it together."
Adam arched an eyebrow, wondering about the reason. But a moment later, it dawned on him. Shaking his head, he couldn't help but speak in slight ridicule, "Looks like there are no permanent friends within the nobility, eh?"
Elysande smiled bitterly, silently nodding.
