Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 296

Chapter 296

Sylvia had no idea how long she'd been standing there until her phone buzzed with an incoming call from Naomi.

"Mom."

"Sylvia, why on earth did Tristan say I should take you to the hospital? What's happening?" Naomi's voice was laced with worry.

Staring up at the stark white ceiling, Sylvia understood exactly what Tristan was up to.

With a hint of exhaustion, she replied, "Mom, it's nothing. Just wait for me at the hospital."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Sylvia saw Eloise approaching from the other end of the hallway.

"What's everyone standing around for? Get to the meeting already!"

Not wanting to stir up trouble, everyone quickly shuffled into the conference room.

Sylvia approached Eloise with an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, Ms. Eloise. I need to take the day off."

"Go on, handle what you need to." Eloise didn't reprimand her. Instead, she glanced at Sylvia's neck and offered her a scarf. "Cover it up."
