Sylvia's POV:
I panicked when I saw Rufus. "Didn't... didn't you tell me that you were going to work late? What are you doing here?"
"That's the exact same question I wanna ask you, Sylvia. Why are you here?" Rufus chuckled and asked.
He was talking calmly, but it felt to me like the peace before the storm. My intuition warned me that he was really mad this time.
I opened my mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know what to say. The whole matter was so complicated that I didn't have the words to give him a clear explanation. Perhaps he would think that I was cooking up excuses.
I was overcome with helplessness as I couldn't figure out what to do.
While I was debating my predicament, Blair suddenly grabbed my hand and fled with me.
"Blair! What are you doing?" I was extremely agitated and wanted to shake his hand off, but I couldn't.
Blair ran like the wind. Considering my pregnancy, he placed one hand on my shoulder, nearly carrying all my weight as we ran.
"Blair, stop! If you make things worse like this, we won't be able to face the dire consequences!"
I shrieked loudly.
I didn't believe for a second that we could escape from Rufus so easily. Blair had sorely underestimated him.
The best way out of this mess was to confess and seek his forgiveness while he was still in control of his temper.
