Chapter 108 Anxiously Waiting


    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 ording 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.


    "Today is your birthday, and this ball is for you. I think you can dy anything else. You can deal


    with itter." My mother insisted that I would go in with her.


    I was a little annoyed with her tough attitude towards me, but I didn''t say anything.


    "Rufus, do you always have to set yourself against me?" My mother got irritated, understanding my


    silent refusal. "The ball is about to begin, and you have to make an opening speech. If you have


    anything else to do, just do itter. Otherwise, it will be disgraceful for the royal family to let


    everyone wait."


    Now that she had said so, I couldn''t contradict her in public. Besides, I could charge my phone in


    the hall too.


    "Remember to invite ady on the first dance after your opening speech," my mother whispered in


    my ear.


    I didn''t say a word, and my mind was already drifting away. Without Sylvia, everything had be


    boring. I just wanted to leave right now.


    I took my mask from the guard, sprayed the special perfume on my sleeves, and whispered to the


    guard, "Go to Sylvia''s dormitory and check on her."


    He then turned around and left.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    I entered the hall and found a ce to charge my phone. There were still two minutes before the


    ball. I looked around and saw the royal members and aristocrats in beautiful clothes all smiling.


    Their joy was in sharp contrast to my low mood.


    Sylvia hadn''t shown up yet. My worry overwhelmed the manic deep in my body. I unplugged my


    half-charged phone and left the hall to look for her.


    Just as I was walking down the stairs, I saw a figure in the dress I had carefully chosen appear at


    the door.


    It was Sylvia. She was finally here.


    I breathed a sigh of relief, and my heart finally calmed down.
