The Beginning Of All Sins

Tyler stared at them, while Naomi looked surprised. She frowned. "Olivia?"

Olivia, who was behind Claude, stopped when she saw them.

Claude didn't expect this either but seemed relaxed when he saw Tyler. They stared at each other.

Tyler looked serious as he watched Claude, and Naomi kept her eyes on Olivia. She said, "Olivia, you..."

The air turned awkward and quiet, like time had stopped. Dylan stood still and gulped.

Claude broke the silence with a smile. "Tyler, Naomi." He seemed cheerful, like he was happy to bump into old friends.

Naomi, still watching Olivia, turned to Claude when he spoke. "Why are you here, Claude?"

Claude smiled and said, "We just ran into each other."

His explanation sounded... odd, as if hiding something. Naomi didn't know what to say and looked at Tyler for help. He stared back at Claude calmly. Olivia stayed silent behind Claude, not looking up.

Just then, Sophie arrived. She was shocked to see them together and hurried over. "Olivia!" She held her hands and said, "I went to the bathroom. Sorry for making you wait."

Sophie tried to explain that Olivia was with her, but it felt forced, especially since Olivia had appeared with Claude.

Dylan watched everyone, trying to understand the situation.

Finally, Naomi said, "Olivia, aren't you joining us? We're here for a friend's birthday. Come on." She tried to lighten the mood. Olivia had to at least pretend everything was okay with Tyler. Naturally, Olivia

knew what Naomi was trying to do. But she didn't go along with it, saying, "The driver is on call, Naomi. I'll head home after my meeting with Sophie."

Naomi was caught off guard by Olivia's reply.

Dylan was even more puzzled about their relationships.

Feeling awkward, Naomi looked at Tyler. He said calmly, "She can do whatever she wants."

Naomi nodded at his words. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Everything seemed normal again. Tyler then turned to Dylan. "Let's go."
