Rufus' POV:
After attending several meetings the whole day, I leaned wearily on my chair and looked at the time on my watch. It was almost time for the ball.
"Where are my clothes?" I asked my dumb servant beside me coldly.
The dumb servant made a gesture and went out to check. I pulled my tie, feeling a little anxious. I hadn't seen Sylvia for several days, and I didn't know if she was already here.
As soon as I got changed, I rushed to the ball. When I arrived at the venue, I looked around but didn't see the person I had been looking forward to seeing.
Maya should have picked Sylvia up by now and sent her here according to my instructions. And judging from Sylvia's character, she wasn't the type who would run around on her own.
I checked the time and took out my phone. It was only then that I saw a missed call from Maya. My phone prompted that it was already low battery. I frowned and dialed Sylvia's number. But to my dismay, her phone was powered off.
I felt that something was wrong, so I called Maya back. However, she was not answering either. In the end, my phone ran out of battery and was powered off. I still didn't see Sylvia or Maya.
How could it be that I couldn't get in touch with both of them at the same time? It was too coincidental.
Restlessness began to rise in my heart again. The melodious music in the hall made me feel like I wanted to destroy everything there.
At this moment, my mother came in with a group of guards and maids in a high-profile manner.
"Mother..." I greeted her coldly with a slight nod. With a benign smile on her face, she asked, "Why don't you get inside yet?"
"I just have something to deal with. Mother, please go in first." I didn't say that I was waiting for Sylvia because I was afraid that my mother would be unhappy again.
