The Beginning Of All Sins

Now, Harris Group had always been one of the university’s most generous donors their name was even up on the main hall. So, hearing news like that wasn’t much of a surprise,

“You know,” Sophie continued, “they said Harris Group’s doing, this for your sake. Something about trying to increase your sister’s positive vibes? It’s pretty weird, I know. Pat hey, those rich folks really believe in all this spirituality stuff way more than us regular folks, huh?”

Olivia had no idea. Why would they do this? Was it because she couldn’t get pregnant like they had hoped?

But Sophie didn’t notice Olivia’s change in mood. She kept on talking, “Your sister graduated from here too, right? So, of course, Harris Group keeps donating, Man, our school sure benefits from being connected to Naomi, huh?”

Tyler set his documents aside. “I didn’t wait that long. Get in.”

“Just the two of us?” she asked. They rarely ate together alone.

“No, it’s… it’s an event I can’t skip, so I thought of bringing you along,” he answered quietly.

Olivia recalled the story about his donation again,
