Chapter 636 Locked In The Hall_____


    Sylvia''s POV:


    I immediately became vignt, thinking that someone was nning to kill me. But no one came to


    attack me, so I gradually calmed down. I was just locked up in a ce where I could be found


    sooner orter.


    After thinking for a while, I started to wonder. Was it just a prank?


    I sighed and chastised myself for being so stupid.


    I reached for the doorknob with both hands and pulled as hard as I could, but the door didn''t budge.


    The door was now locked from the outside and couldn''t be opened from the inside, rendering my


    superb lock picking skills useless.


    In the end, I sat on a chair and tried to contact the outside world.


    But I couldn''t send out any texts. There seemed to be a jammer installed nearby.


    Bored, I sat on the chair idly, waiting to be found. Half an hour passed but nobody came to my


    rescue.


    There was nothing I could do but wait for Rufus or Flora to find me. "That she-wolf looked like a


    decent officer, but she tricked you. God! She''s really pissing me off!" Yana, who was also bored,


    began toin.


    I sighed. "I know that Rufus has a meeting today, so he won''t find out that I''m in trouble until very


    late."


    Fortunately, I had eaten breakfast before I came here, so I wasn''t going to starve to death. The


    minutes ticked by and it was soon noon. Everyone was probably taking a lunch break, so I doubted


    anybody would pass by.


    Just as I was about to go crazy from boredom, there was amotion outside the door. It sounded


    like someone was calling my name.


    I immediately cheered up and rushed to the door. Someone outside called my name again.


    It was Rufus!


    How''d he know I was here? Without thinking too much, I rapped on the door loudly. "Rufus! It''s me!


    I''m here!"


    Soon, I heard hurried footsteps approaching until somebody stopped right outside the door.

    Then there was the sounds of an iron chain being smashed. Rufus'' muffled voice shouted, "Sylvia,


    hang on. I''ll save you."


    Bang! The door shook violently for a while before it was finally kicked open.


    Rufus threw away the chair he had used to break the lock in a hurry. It seemed he had rushed here


    in a hurry without even putting his coat on. With trembling hands ced on my shoulders, he looked


    me up and down carefully. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"


    I shook my head. "No, no, I''m fine. They just locked me up in here."


    "That''s a relief." Rufus was still in a state of shock. He held me tightly in his arms and nted a


    thousand kisses all over my face before calming down.


    "Wait. How did you know I was here?" I looked up at him in confusion. Flora or the others should''ve


    realized I was missing first, because as long as we were in the army, we would always be together.


    Rufus usually called me at the end of a busy day. He only would''ve called Flora if he couldn''t reach


    me.


    But Flora and others didn''t even know that I was locked in this hall.


    "I got a strange text saying that you were in danger here. I tried calling you but couldn''t get through,


    so I rushed here," Rufus exined.


    Frowning, I mulled over what Rufus said when a thought urred to me and I looked at him in


    horror.


    Noticing my horrified expression, Rufus asked, "What''s wrong? Sylvia, why are you looking at me


    like that?"


    Anxious and scared out of my wits, I shouted, "The flower! The potted nt! Their target isn''t me!


    It''s the flower they''re after! They locked me here just to lure you out of your room!"
