Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 114

Sylvia couldn't believe Rupert would be so bold in the Garcia estate, especially with Warren right there. So, she simply ignored his words, still secretly straining against the restraint.

When she looked up, their eyes locked. Rupert's gaze was as deep and dangerous as a moonless night. As his face came into clearer focus, Sylvia realized Rupert was getting closer, totally unfazed by Warren's watchful gaze right across from them. Panic finally set in for Sylvia. She pushed against him, nodding vigorously, signaling that she would go with him.

Rupert paused, casually removing a leaf tangled in her hair. His voice was as cool as ever. "You had something there."

Sylvia immediately knew she'd been played. Her nose wrinkled in frustration, but she felt helpless. She turned to Warren. "Warren, I've got to run."

Warren offered a slight smile. "Go on, then. Make sure you rest up."

"Thanks." With that, Sylvia took the chance to pull away and leave.
