Rufus' POV:
I had been too busy today that I didn't have the time to even drink water. My subordinates even followed me back to my room so we could continue our discussion.
I was so annoyed that I wanted to smoke a cigarette. However, one of the elders stopped me, saying smoking wasn't good for my health. However, he was secretly smoking in a corner. I was frustrated and pissed off.
When I entered the room, I saw my subordinates sitting in a row. At first, they were only expressing their opinions one after the other. However, later, they got into a heated discussion. I pulled my tie, pretending to be serious as I listened to their conversation.
In fact, Sylvia was all I could think about.
I was indeed angry with her, but most importantly, I didn't forgive Sylvia immediately because I wanted her to take me seriously.
My name and status in the family had been witnessing a terrible decline. If things went on this way and we have a child in the future, I was afraid the situation
would only get worse.
Therefore, I decided to hold back my love and longing for her. I couldn't
compromise with her until at least midnight.
Sylvia had been texting me every half an hour, informing me what she was doing. But all of a sudden, the messages stopped.
I thought she would come to me, but she didn't.
I glanced at my phone again. There was still no new message from her, not even an emoji.
I couldn't help but wonder if she was angry. It would break my heart if she ignored me like last time. Cheering her up wasn't an easy task. However, I seemed to make the same mistake again. My stomach began to churn with anxiety.
I couldn't wait to kiss her and tell her how much I loved her. Sylvia's pitiful face flashed in my mind, and my heart melted into a puddle.
I let out a weary sigh, and my subordinates immediately fell silent.
Only then did I realize I was still in a meeting.
The people in the room were all terrified, thinking they had said something wrong.
I cleared my throat awkwardly. "Go on. What did you just say?"
The room erupted with noises as everyone got into a heated discussion again.
I looked at the clock on the wall, and my desire to meet Sylvia intensified.
Just then, I heard a noise from the wardrobe.
I looked around to check if it was a mouse, but there was nothing around, so I didn't care.
A few seconds later, I heard the sound again. It was the dinging of a bell.
I waved my hand, gesturing for everyone to calm down. Slalch Thi FindNovil.not website on Gøøgle to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
