After I Left You
Day Chat
It's actually been a few months since Philips was looking for Dorothy, only two weeks ago he got an answer about where Dorothy is now.
The woman is in Korea at this time, about one week later she just returned to America.

After returning from the company who had no idea who it was, Sylphy looked uninspired by his activities. He wondered why the driver had brought him there, but when he asked him directly the driver answered him with the word ‘ini command’ without the driver mentioning who assigned him to invite Sylphy to meet with Marcel. Sylphy had a hard time guessing that this must have been Edgar ordering the driver. No one else could have asked for the driver but Edgar Alexander Moriarty.

“Nona, mr. Earl would like to meet you.”
It had been a few days they had not met, but it was natural because usually they also only met once a week or twice. Remember Earl is a busy man.
“Good, I'll be down soon.” replied Sylphy from inside her room.
After tidying up his clothes, Sylphy immediately went downstairs because he had no intention of making the Earl wait for himself too long downstairs.
“Why uncle looking for me? I think we've met twice this week and added this instead of going to be three?”
“Ahaha, what twice is the max number we meet?” The Earl slightly chuckled at Sylphy's words.
“Not really.” replied. He was really just kidding.
Sylphy sat on the sofa opposite the Earl, then he looked at the Earl with a questioning look.
“How was my meeting with Marcel.?” asked Earl Suddenly and suddenly made Sylphy open his eyes wide.
How did he know I met Marcel? was he the one who ruled Lilack (driver's name) yesterday? thought Sylphy while looking at the Earl in full search.
“Obviously, nothing interesting.” Considering Marcel likes to talk nonsense, it sometimes makes Sylphy tired of the man. “How can uncle know if I met him?” ask Sylphy back.
“I know because Edgar said it.”
“Dad? why?”
Earl made a face that could not be explained, he looked towards Sylphy. “Wait, don't you know why you were brought there?”
“No.” replied Sylphy honestly. What's wrong? why don't I know? what's so complicated about explaining why Edgar didn't tell me?
“Edgar took you there because---”
It's not over Earl spoke. Suddenly Edgar had already appeared from behind Sylphy and gestured to him using a finger, Earl understood the meaning of the gesture.
“What color?” ask Sylphy. Come dong! why half a half?! this is not a television show or anything! Sylphy was upset that the Earl had not finished his words.
“How are you?” suddenly a heavy and raucous voice appeared behind Sylphy making the woman aghast in shock. Edgar's voice that is considered creepy for Sylphy certainly feels creepy everywhere and whenever you hear it.
“Ahahaa.. I am good.” Sylphy replied with her forced smile.
Sylphy could not understand what Edgar was thinking all along, either because they rarely met or because it was difficult to guess the contents of Edgar's mind. The man looked strange, sometimes cold, warm and sometimes unexplainable.
“Earl, I met Lionel a while ago, it seems like he's fine even though his wife is dead.”
Hearing the word die made Sylphy flinch. He remembered his mother who was dead.
“Ah true!” he caught the attention of Edgar and the Earl simultaneously. Then, “Did my father and uncle know that my mother was dead? she passed away a while ago and my uncle, aunt and cousin Clara are also dead.”
“I know.” replied Edgar and Earl together.
Although they answered yes casually and as usual people in general. However, Sylphy sensed that there was something they were hiding behind their relaxed faces.
“...dan, Aquila.”
“Aquila is in the village of Eweryp wey now.” Edgar said before Sylphy finished his words with a sad expression. Hearing what Edgar said left Sylphy's eyes wide open.
“Eh? has he? why is he already there? it's not that two months ago he was still in Washington, D.C.”
“That was two months ago, it is now two months since the last time he was in Washington.” replied the Earl with a smile.
Sylphy sympathized with that. “Truely too.” murmured. “Then, where is Dad now?” with his voice slow and hesitant, Edgar looks dislike when he heard Sylphy say that, Edgar knows that what Sylphy means is Agam Wree.
“Says he went to London for some business. He's looking for a detective he said.” replied Earl because Edgar did not answer. Earl knew very well that Edgar knew this, even Edgar knew better than he did.
Sylphy blinked her eyes, then she made a slow shake.
Dret Dreet Dreeettt
Edgar's phone creaked. Edgar immediately stood up and saw who was calling him at lunchtime like this.
“Then continue your chat, I have a sudden affair.” Edgar said goodbye and before anyone answered he was gone.
Sylphy could only stare at his slowly shrinking back and then disappear from his sight.
“Do you feel like my dad is hiding something? I'm sure he's like hiding something.” muttered Sylphy, yet he seems to have misquired people.
The Earl did not answer him and preferred not to hear what Sylphy said.
Earl looks the same, what are you trying to hide from me? the more Sylphy thought about it. It just makes him more confused.
After the Earl left. Sylphy returns to her room and wants to continue her break this hot weekend.
However, it was only a few minutes that Sylphy managed to close his eyes. Suddenly a shrill voice filled his room. An enthusiastic voice made Sylphy unable to sleep anymore.
“Sylphhyy!! look around! since we didn't see him yesterday, he played so well!!! I'm sorry for missing this hiks!”
Bella shows a recording showing Gery playing the guitar in the music room. Right, they had an appointment to see Gery but they forgot about it and just went home.
Gery is very handsome, he's like Philips.. Sylphy thought when he saw Gery's serious face on the tape.
