Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 293

Rupert didn't say a word. He wasn't one for repeating himself on the same issue.

He turned and walked away.

Bridget watched Rupert's retreating figure, her palms clammy with nervous sweat. Unable to contain herself, she hurried after him and caught his arm.

"Mr. Rupert, did Sylvia say something about me?"

Rupert's gaze was cold as he responded with a question of his own, "What should she have said?"

Under Rupert's scrutiny, Bridget felt like she was being looked at by someone who saw her as insignificant. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't decipher any emotion in his eyes.

Realizing she'd spoken too much, she quickly flashed a smile.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just worried there might have been a misunderstanding in the studio earlier. You know how girls can hold grudges."

"Really now?"

Rupert didn't elaborate, but those two words were enough to make Bridget feel like he was siding with Sylvia. But she didn't dare show her disappointment. She clasped her hands together, maintaining a gentle smile.
