Sylvia's POV:
Leonard's serious face reared in my head and I couldn't help but shiver in fear.
Moreover, Leonard was Alina's father. Alina and I were not on good terms. It would be awkward if Leonard was under the impression that I had bullied his daughter.
Even though Alina and I barely talked to each other, we did have a beef with each other. Plus, our relationship got even worse because I was with Rufus now.
"Oh, I see..." I didn't want to be caught in such a sticky situation, but it seemed my path was laid out for me.
"Sylvia, I know what you're worried about." Rufus looked at me seriously. "I can assure you that Leonard is absolutely trustworthy. He's nothing like his daughter."
Rufus' reassuring words made me feel better. I finally agreed to Leonard's training.
"Oh, but can I join the army the day after tomorrow instead? I want to attend Blair's class for the last time tomorrow."
Rufus didn't say anything. He frowned and seemed to be weighing things in his mind.
"Please? I won't have many chances to see Blair in the future. I also wanted to thank him for clearing my mother's name." I stuck out my lower lip, acting like a spoiled child. "I haven't had the chance to express my gratitude to him yet. I want to invite him to dinner tomorrow to thank him properly."
Rufus finally relented. "Fine. You can postpone going to the army for one day. You can thank Blair, but you don't have to invite him to dinner. I don't trust him."
Seeing the irritated expression on Rufus's face, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What had Blair done to piss him off this time?
"Okay, okay."
