Sylvia's POV:
I immediately became vigilant, thinking that someone was planning to kill me. But no one came to attack me, so I gradually calmed down. I was just locked up in a place where I could be found sooner or later. 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 to complain.
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 a commotion 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 placed 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." salih thi Find Nøvil.not website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"That's a relief." Rufus was still in a

"Wait. How did you know I was here?" I looked up at him in confusion. Flora or the others should've realized was missing first, because as long as we En 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. The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest

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 explained.
Frowning, I mulled over what Rufus said when a thought occurred 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?"
