Sylvia's POV:
My phone buzzed in my pocket as I walked to the classroom. I took it out and saw it was a call from Maya.
I gritted my teeth and turned off my phone. The pain and dejection in my heart made me want to cry.
'Don't be willful, Sylvia,' I warned myself again.
I walked to my classroom, trying my best not to let the disappointment crush me. Rufus would soon find out that I wouldn't be attending the party.
Maya had brought me soup every day. I didn't want her to wait at the entrance and catch a cold, so with Flora's permission, I gave Maya a key to our dormitory. Since Maya couldn't get through to me now, I knew she would definitely go to my dormitory to find me. By then, she would see the dress and my message.
I walked to the classroom absentmindedly. When Blair saw me, he was a little surprised and stared at me in a daze.
"Sorry, sir. I'm late," I said indifferently. I tried acting normal even though I couldn't shake off the ball of disappointment that had settled in the pit of my stomach.
Blair clenched his fists and coughed. "Sylvia, I permit you to take the afternoon off."
His words attracted the attention of the other students. I forced a smile and said, "I want to attend the class, sir."
"Well, come on in then." Blair's body trembled as if he were surprised by my indifference.
I nodded and walked stiffly to my seat.
Flora rubbed her eyes and looked at me in shock. "Why are you here?"
