Sylvia's POV:

When I arrived at my residence, I happened to see Rufus walk out of the room.

He looked anxious. He probably thought I got kidnapped by Noreen again.

"I saw you talking to the guests just now, so I went out to get some fresh air. I didn't see you when I came back," I said as I guiltily scratched my nose.

I didn't tell him that I had talked to Edwin because I rarely ever talked to that man. Telling Rufus the truth would only arouse his suspicion, especially when I came to Edwin all of a sudden. I didn't want Rufus to

go and talk to him as well. Edwin had always been respectful toward Rufus. Even though Edwin wasn't aware of the curse, he might say something that might arouse Rufus' suspicion.

Rufus breathed a sigh of relief when I explained myself. He didn't doubt my words. He just took me inside the room and told me the investigation results.
