Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard a noise outside. It was Rufus.
I got up to greet him. However, I stopped short when I realized several people had accompanied Rufus.
My body froze in place.
‘How will I meet them in this outfit?’
Seeing that the people outside were about to open the door and enter the house, I immediately hid in the closet.
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.
Everyone shut their mouths and waited for me to speak.
Although the noise had disappeared, I realized someone had come to my room when I wasn’t present.
The bed sheet and quilt were wrinkled. It was obvious someone had moved them.
I immediately realized someone had sneaked in, so I stood up and looked at my subordinates, gesturing that someone was in the wardrobe.
I assumed it was an assassin. I thought I could live in peace for the time being at the border and didn’t expect to encounter the same trouble over and over again. I wasn’t really surprised though.
I sneered and walked toward the wardrobe.
My men understood what I meant and immediately followed me, ready to attack, as they gradually walked toward the wardrobe.
I shifted my stance and stared at the wardrobe coldly. Then, I grabbed the handle and yanked the door open. However, my mind went blank, and my body froze when I saw what was inside.
Fortunately, my hand reacted faster than my brain. I slammed the door shut and pressed myself against it.
‘Damn it! What the hell!’
Sylvia’s POV
I looked at Rufus for a second before the wardrobe slammed shut.
I heard muffled voices from outside that inquired what was going on.
My body froze. I clutched the bell and held my breath, hoping for my racing heart to slow down.
Oh, God! This was the most embarrassing moment of my life.
Why the hell did I choose to hide in the closet? What had I been thinking when I agreed to wear this sensual outfit? Several werewolves were outside with Rufus. If they saw me in this outfit, then I’d literally die of embarrassment.
Besides, I saw Rufus’ face before he closed the wardrobe door. He seemed equally embarrassed. Then I heard him angrily order his subordinates to leave.
Judging from their conversation, I didn’t think they saw me.
