Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert) novel Chapter 264

Inside the dry towel, there was actually a hotel key card!

Freya took a deep breath, but no amount of breathing could quell the raging jealousy inside her.

Why did every man seem enchanted by Sylvia?

Even someone like Rupert wanted to be close to Sylvia.

Why on earth?

Sylvia held the key card, looking troubled. "Mr. Rupert seems to know about my predicament. Orson mentioned I should go to his room, saying he could help me out. What do you think I should do? I mean, anyone would choose Mr. Rupert, right?"

"Of course, you should choose Mr. Jones!"

You sneaky little thing, you only deserve someone like Mr. Jones, the toad that he is!

Freya's voice was sharp, like a balloon being popped—piercing and unpleasant.

Sylvia pretended not to catch the tone and asked, "Freya, why should I only choose Mr. Jones?"

Freya hesitated for a few seconds before launching into her manipulative spiel.

"Sylvia, I'm just looking out for you. You have to understand, Mr. Jones is our client. If you can't keep him happy, who knows what he might say behind your back? That could be deadly for your career."

"Besides, Mr. Rupert doesn't really like you. He's in love with Ms. Simpson. You don't want to be the one causing trouble in someone else's relationship."

Sylvia looked at her and reminded, "Freya, Mr. Jones is married. His son is older than I am."

Freya chuckled, "That's perfect. Even if his wife finds out, she wouldn't divorce him because of the kids."

"..."

Sylvia really wanted to roll her eyes.

Taking advantage of Sylvia’s silence, Freya reached out to grab the key card from her hand.

"I'll throw this key card away for you."

Sylvia dodged her and tucked the key card into her purse.
