Sylvia's eyes widened in shock as the man in front of her suddenly took action.

With a swift motion, he pulled at the collar of his hoodie and yanked it over his head, revealing a chiseled body hidden underneath. The movement tensed the muscles across his abs, each one distinct, without a hint of fat. Caught off guard, Sylvia was momentarily stunned until a sweater flew toward her face.

Leaning casually against the desk, Rupert gave Sylvia a teasing look. "Didn't get enough of a show the other night? If you don't want to catch a cold, go inside and change."

Flustered, Sylvia grabbed the sweater and dashed into a small partition, letting the curtain fall behind her.

Rupert took out a cigarette, his gaze captured by her silhouette behind the curtain just as he was about to light it.
