<div style="text-align: justify;">The wheels were turning in Paula's mind, and she was really trying to piece that puzzle before her. Maybe knowing everyone's professions would help, and she really hoped that they would share this piece of information. When Ava said she was an archaeologist, Paula raised an eyebrow. That sounded... curious.<br/><br/>Hearing the question about where she was from made Paula pause for just a second. After taking in Ava's friendly expression, she relaxed and answered it in an equally friendly intonation. "I am from Brazil", she replied, smiling back at Ava. "A bit far from home".<br/><br/>The second person to answer about her job was a journalist. That didn't tell Paula too much, as wealthy people were always giving interviews and showing off. So, she simply nodded at this answer.<br/><br/>Another one was a doctor. That din't tell Paula much, but she stored this answer in her mind and nodded. Something didn't smell so good to her, but she couldn't put her finger on it quite yet.<br/><br/>Hearing that Finlay was a pilot, Paula nibbled on her lower lip, an idea playing into her mind. A pilot, an archaeologist, a doctor, a journalist and a translator. That really didn't sound like a good thing.<br/><br/>As Albert came for them, Paula nodded and followed the man obediently, her mind still working on the current situation. Oh, well. They would probably know what was up very soon. Taking a seat where her name was, Paula nodded again when the man told them all not to open the envelopes until they were told to. This was getting more and more mysterious, but she was willing to wait.<br/><br/>When Mr. Vanderbilt entered the room, Paula's gaze turned to him, and she simply nodded in agreement to them being curious why they had been invited there. Obviously, it wasn't every day one was flown into a foreign country for a job.<br/><br/>Having a meal before talking sounded good for Paula, and she decided to simply play along and stay silent for now.<br/><br/>As the younger Vanderbilt walked into the room, Paula looked at him for a moment or two, but her gaze soon went back to the elder member of the family. Whatever was up, she was sure the older man would know more about it than the younger one.<br/><br/>Unable to resist when the plates where finally set, Paula sighed and addressed their host. "I apologize, sir, if I am too bold to ask this question", she started, her English sounding slightly broken, but easily understandable. "Where do you plan on sending us, and what for?", she asked, looking into the man's eyes. Paula wasn't one to beat about the bush, and that had gotten her in trouble before. Hopefully this wouldn't be one of these occasions.</div>
