Chapter 67 The Invitation


    Sylvia''s POV:


    Rufus invited me to be his date to a ball? I thought I just had an auditory hallucination, so I didn''t


    know what to say.


    "Will you agree, Sylvia?" As he spoke, Rufus'' gaze were fixed on me, and only my reflection could


    be seen in his eyes.


    We were very close to each other. If I raised my head even slightly, I would already touch the tip of


    his nose.


    The sweet scent of his body made me feel dizzy. I just nodded my head instinctively.


    "I''lle to pick you up on Friday then," he added. His deep and maic voice made my brain


    freeze for a moment.


    Damn! Could he stop showing off his charm? My nose started to itch again. I was afraid that I would


    have an embarrassing nosebleed again likest time, so I quickly pushed him away and said, "Hey,


    I can hear you perfectly. No need to get this close to me."


    I covered my nose and only dared to nce at him out of the corner of my eye. Fortunately, Rufus


    didn''t get angry after I pushed him away.


    "All right, that''s it." He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked at me leisurely.

    "What are you talking about?" I rubbed my nose, and it was only then that I came back to my


    senses. I was so flustered that I wanted to go back on my words. "What ball? I can''t dance. Can I


    not go?"


    "Are you going back on your words now?" Rufus asked, ring at me coldly.


    I nodded without hesitation. "I will only embarrass you if I go. And my identity..."


    But before I could finish my words, Rufus sneered. His handsome face showed a trace of irrefutable


    aggressiveness. "You can''t possibly go back on your words."


    I knew it! How could Rufus be so easy to persuade? I could only lower my head in frustration.


    He rubbed my head with his warm palm. "It''s just an ordinary ball. If you don''t know how to dance,


    I''ll arrange someone to teach you. With me by your side, you have nothing to be afraid of.


    Besides..."


    Rufus paused, reached out and raised my chin, and continued, "You will be attending simr parties


    frequently with me in the future. You''d better get used to it as soon as possible."


    His words were domineering and likely to make others misunderstand. He was so tempting that I


    could only give in and say, "I have to go back now. There is a time limit for us to stay outside. I will


    be in trouble if I can''t go back in time." I helplessly shook off his hand, lowered my head, and


    pretended to be calm.


    At this moment, a delicate envelope came into view. I hesitated for a moment before I took it over.


    "That''s the invitation card to the ball. It''s a special night, so as long as you have that invitation card,


    you can freely leave and enter the academy without worrying about the curfew." Rufus'' voice


    sounded above my head.


    I carefully removed the seal on the back of the envelope and took out the invitation card. It was


    exquisitely made, and the material had a highgrade wooden fragrance. The content was very


    formal, and Rufus and I''s names were next to each other at the end. It looked more like a wedding


    invitation card than an borate ball invitation.


    Looking at the invitation, I pressed my lips tightly. I couldn''t help but start to picture out some


    wedding scenes of Rufus and me in my mind. Only if that day would evere.


    "Ballroom dancing is very simple, so you don''t need to worry about it at all. I will arrange an


    instructor for you in the following evenings. You can follow Maya''s arrangements by then," Rufus


    said again.


    No matter what, he always arranged everything for me. I didn''t have the heart to refuse again, so I


    agreed and took it as thest chance to be willful.
