Sylvia's POV:

No matter how much I begged and even argued with the guards, they still wouldn't let me in to see Rufus. At some point, I knew I couldn't afford to come into a full-blown conflict with them, so I just had to return back despite all my efforts being in vain.

On my way back to school, I hung my head low and sighed in despair.

"Rufus is probably still angry with me. Perhaps he heard my voice from inside and still didn't want to see me. I guess I really let him down this time."

"Are you seriously giving up that easily?" Just like me, Yana was not the type to give up easily, which was why she was surprised by my defeatist attitude. "You can't give up, Sylvia. If you failed to see him today, then just come back again tomorrow. Sooner or later, he'll have to see you. I don't believe Rufus can avoid you forever." "It's not that I'm completely giving up, Yana. I just hate having to wait to try another day because I can't do anything right now." I pulled on my hair stressfully. If I had known this earlier, I would have never said such harsh words to Rufus in the first place. I was so regretful. I tried calling Rufus up again, but it seemed that his phone was still off.

I wasn't in the mood to eat at all. When I got back to my dorm room, I quietly sat on the chair. Afraid that I would be too sad to care for myself, Flora even made sure to call and check on me every thirty minutes when I refused to go out for dinner with her.
