Rufus' POV:

I had been too busy today that I didn't have the time to even drink water. My subordinates even followed me back to my room so we could continue our discussion.

I was so annoyed that I wanted to smoke a cigarette. However, one of the elders stopped me, saying smoking wasn't good for my health. However, he was secretly smoking in a corner. I was frustrated and pissed off.

When I entered the room, I saw my subordinates sitting in a row. At first, they were only expressing their opinions one after the other. However, later, they got into a heated discussion. I pulled my tie, pretending to be serious as I listened to their conversation.

In fact, Sylvia was all I could think about.

I was indeed angry with her, but most importantly, I didn't forgive Sylvia immediately because I wanted her to take me seriously.

My name and status in the family had been witnessing a terrible decline. If things went on this way and we have a child in the future, I was afraid the situation would only get worse.

Therefore, I decided to hold back my love and longing for her. I couldn't compromise with her until at least midnight.

Sylvia had been texting me every half an hour, informing me what she was doing. But all of a sudden, the messages stopped.
