Sylvia’s POV
Not long after I returned to my room, Rufus called me.
I sat down on the edge of the bed and answered the phone. “Flora and Warren are together,” I blurted.
Rufus didn’t sound surprised.
“Did you already know?” I asked curiously with one brow raised.
“I just heard, but the news should spread soon,” Rufus said nonchalantly.
I couldn’t help but sigh. “Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected those two to get together. They’re polar opposites!” “I knew they’d get together,” Rufus countered. Aside from his voice, I could hear clattering tableware from the other end of the line.
Only then did it occur to me that it was still breakfast time. “Are you eating? You can call me when you’re finished with breakfast.”
“No need. I just finished.” As he spoke, I heard the sound of a chair moving across the floor. After a few seconds, the noise completely disappeared, leaving only the sound of his breathing. “I’m in the study now. I’ll talk to you first. Where were we just now?”
“How did you know that Warren and Flora would get together?” I asked in confusion, returning to the
previous topic. “That day, we went to the equipment room looking for you, but found Warren and Flora instead. They
were disheveled, flushed and panting. And the look on their faces; there was just something more
than shame and awkwardness. In fact, I was surprised that they didn’t announce it sooner. I suppose Blair helped them cover it up,” Rufus explained patiently.
“Am I the only one who didn’t see it coming? They were so weird today. Flora and Warren might truly love each other, but I still feel bad. After all, it was my fault.” I sighed, voicing out my uneasiness. “I’m worried that Flora’s just doing it for me.”
