Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 154

Bridget, her cheeks flushed with a shy hue, leaned towards Rupert as she heard they'd share a room.

"Bailey, how could I accept this?"

With an eyebrow raised, Bailey smiled and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, Ms. Simpson, I can easily arrange for another room for you. No trouble at all."

As she spoke, she was about to call the butler with a wave of her hand.

The corner of Bridget's mouth twitched involuntarily, and she quickly said, "Bailey, you're such a joker, thank you."

Bailey's smile deepened, filled with unspoken meanings.

Sylvia, hearing the possibility of a room change, immediately thought of an excuse to switch rooms herself.

But before she could speak up, Bailey was called away by a phone call. Left with no choice, Sylvia headed to her room.

Just as she turned around, Freya suddenly caught her arm from behind.

"Sylvia, are you sure of being alone? Do you want me to keep you company?"

Sylvia's arm trembled slightly, and her jaw clenched tighter, but she quickly regained her composure.
