An uneasy feeling crawled onto her neck. She squeezed the note even tighter, then slipped it into her purse.

Paul was someone she'd becacquainted with from the Group's previous annual party. He was one of the

people Westley had introduced to her, and that day, they'd bonded very well with Paul being a very lovable man.

He was a man in his early fifties and had ssort of relationship with Westley. So, there were a few times

Sylvie had seen him with Westley, which made them even becbetter friends.

Prior to that time, they'd already met and exchanged pleasantries at the party. But now, she couldn't understand

what he had to say about Kage. It seemed creepy, for sreason, She kept checking the time. Everything was

still going normal at the party. She couldn't find Paul around and figured he was already making his way to the

balcony.

it was finally fifteen minutes.

After what seemed like an eternity, she said to Westley who had been having fun conversations with the people

on the table.

"I think I need to use the restroom," she said to

"Okay. Do you need ssort of assistance? Should

She

hit him on the shoulder. "You're not crazy, are you with you?"

He smiled, then she walked off, exhaling a deep breath.

She took the elevator, clicking the button to the last floor where the balcony was. The party was taking place in a

tower-like building. So, Sylvie has to go really up to get to the balcony. She soon reached and emerged from the

elevator.

It was quiet. She took slow, careful steps toward the balcony ahead, looking around. Somehow, she didn't feel

good about this. It was just like that night when Lancelot had deceived her. Are you sure about this?" she had

asked, her palms sweaty.

Of course, Sylvie. It's only a sleep inducer. It's not like you causing real harm, he'd said with that ugly smile on

his face.

Sylvie sighed wearily, closing her eyes and shutting out the memories.

She kept walking, until she reached the balcony, and that was when it happened - the moment her heart stopped

beating.

She froze, color draining from her face.

There was a corpse before her - someone was dead. Murdered. And it was Paul.

She stumbled back and screamed.

There were paramedics on the scene, as well as the cops who marked the place and checked for clues.

Sylvie was

shaken, even as Westley had her pulled to himself with his arms around her. He'd also taken off his shirt jacket,

wearing it on her since she'd developed sudden cold. Paul's body had been taken from the scene, but people still

lingered about.

The man had been stabbed - six time's in the chest, but the murder weapon wasn't found.

"Miss,

She shook her head. "No. Everything was pretty normal until | found the body."

There was silence with the man still taking notes.

he asked after a moment.

Sylvie's heart carelessly skipped a beat. "I..."

"This was a party filled with more than sixty people," Westley interjected. "Paul was no stranger to us and a lot of

people in there. So, you can't question her simply because they spoke and 7m damn sure she wasn't the only

one he'd spoken to in the Last hour." Sylvie gulped hardly, her shoulders tensed.

The officer nodded, taking take down as well. "Um what exactly did he say, tho? When he met you?"

He wasn't h happy, but she hoped to God he would let her go.

"You don't have to worry, I'll make sure she gets there safe, Westley said.

It was enough to make Kage boil. He wanted to rip out his tongue for uttering a word about it.

"| didn't ask you. And of course, you din hand a choice but to keep her safe, he gritted.
