Chapter 18

“Turn around.”

Sylvia looked back as ordered, immediately noticing Deculein glaring toward her.

“Debutante Sylvia.”

“Yes?”

“As far as I know, this library is exclusive to executives only. There are many confidential documents stored here. Hence, except for faculty, entry is prohibited.”

“Oh, I see. I wasn’t aware. I got lost.”

Deculein nodded at Sylvia’s excuse.

“No one seems to think that you’re lost. You and the librarians are at fault, all of you—”

She lied to save herself from this situation and used the exception clause.

“There is no exception clause.”

“I’m sorry. There was a book I wanted to find.” Sylvia finally confessed.

“Ah.”

He extended his hand to grab the book, but he missed.

“Oh, my.”

She lost her balance and fell on her butt. Rage began to boil inside her, but she didn’t show it as she stood up and brushed herself off. She then looked at Deculein.

“…”

He was peeking into the book. Sylvia snorted inwardly, finding the situation funny.

‘It’s an Ethinel novel. You won’t understand, considering you have no hobbies other than socializing. Stop wasting your breath and give me back the book.’

“I was with her last night.”

“…?”

She found it odd.

“Red flowers danced throughout the path to her.”
