Rufus' POV:

After Maya informed me that Sylvia had left a message for me, I began looking for her everywhere. I was so worried that I began hyperventilating.

Finally, my racing heart gradually slowed when I saw Sylvia's roommate, Flora. She told me that Sylvia's leg had recovered, which made me feel a little relieved. However, I was confused. 'Wasn't her leg injury the reason why she couldn't come to the ball?'

Countless guesses swarmed in my mind. Someone wore Sylvia's dress and appeared on the ball. Moreover, Maya looked disheveled and anxious when she came to me. Obviously, someone was behind all this.

I broke into a cold sweat as I feared Sylvia might be in danger. I had never been this scared before.

Panic wracked my nerves.

"Rufus, go to the training ground. Flora just said that Sylvia was there," Omar reminded me.

I took deep breaths and calmed down. I was so flustered that I didn't hear what Flora had said.

After calming down, I went to the training ground.

My heart leaped to my throat the moment I stepped into the training ground. Sylvia and a man were lying on the ground, watching the stars.

'Damn it! I had never gazed the sky with Sylvia.' Not just that, the two were chatting happily.

Jealousy reared its ugly head. "Sylvia, what are you doing?" I growled.
