Rufus’ POV:
After Maya informed me that Sylvia had left a message for me, I began looking for her everywhere.I was so worried that I began hyperventilating.
Finally, my racing heart gradually slowed when I saw Sylvia’s roommate, Flora.
She told me that Sylvia’s leg had recovered, which made me feel a little relieved.However, I was confused.
‘‘Wasn’t her leg injury the reason why she couldn’t come to the ball?’’ Countless guesses swarmed in my mind.
Someone wore Sylvia’s dress and appeared on the ball.
Moreover, Maya looked disheveled and anxious when she came to me.
Obviously, someone was behind all this.
I broke into a cold sweat as I feared Sylvia might be in danger.I had never been this scared before.
Panic wracked my nerves.
"Rufus, go to the training ground.Flora just said that Sylvia was there,"
Omar reminded me.
I took deep breaths and calmed down.I was so flustered that I didn’t hear what Flora had said.
After calming down, I went to the training ground.
My heart leaped to my throat the moment I stepped into the training ground.
Sylvia and a man were lying on the ground, watching the stars.
‘Damn it! I had never gazed the sky with Sylvia.’Not just that, the two were chatting happily.
Jealousy reared its ugly head.
"Sylvia, what are you doing?" I growled.
Sylvia’s POV:
"Sylvia." I heard a familiar voice from a distance.
I thought I had an auditory hallucination.
"Sylvia." I heard the voice again.
This time, I was sure it was really Rufus.
Rufus’s arrival made me feel guilty.
Although I didn’t do anything inappropriate with Warren here, I still began to feel nervous.
Rufus made me feel things that I had never felt before.I was addicted to him; he was the oxygen that kept me going.
"Nice to meet you here, Prince Rufus." I turned and saw Warren standing beside Rufus, his hand stretched out in a greeting.
Only then did I remember Warren was still there, so I quickly broke free from Rufus’s arms.
Rufus frowned, looking displeased.He didn’t bother shaking hands with Warren and continued to ignore him.
Warren withdrew his hand awkwardly.
"Prince Rufus, why are you here?" Warren asked.
He, too, didn’t understand what Rufus was doing here when he should be at the ball right now.
Rufus didn’t answer; he continued to ignore Warren.He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped my face.
I was so flustered that I held his hand.I wanted to stop him, but it seemed like I was holding his hand now.
"Don’t move.Your face is full of grass clippings."
He pursed his lips and continued to wipe my face.
Although his face bore no emotion, I could see a glint of grievance in his eyes.
‘‘Oh, God! What’s wrong with me? I guess something is definitely wrong with my eyes.’’
