The Beginning Of All Sins

Chapter 62

It was a Monday morning, and Olivia struggled to wake up. She finally crawled out of bed when the sun was already high in the sky. To her surprise, she found someone sitting next to her.

She was taken aback and hid beneath the sheets. She asked in a soft voice, ” Didn’t you leave?”

Sitting beside her was Tyler. He was dressed in a shirt and slacks, having just woken up and not yet put on his tie or coat.

He looked at her and replied, “I called your school to give you the day off. You can sleep in if you want.”

She pulled the sheets closer, feeling shy and embarrassed. Her voice was barely audible as she responded, “I… It’s okay. I can go to school.”

Tyler left the decision to her, “Alright, it’s up to you. I did that thinking you might want to sleep more.”

She lay there, feeling awkward about having fallen asleep in his bed. How would she explain herself if she ran into the maid on her way out? Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Tyler, on the other hand, paid no attention to her thoughts. He got up and said, ” I’m going to change.”

Olivia remained hidden in the sheets, responding softly.

Tyler calmly and elegantly walked to the walk–in closet, adjusting his collar.

It took her a while to finally look up from the sheets. She blushed when she recalled what he had said to her last night. She knew she shouldn’t take it seriously because he had just been flirting with her.

Tyler returned from the closet, dressed appropriately.

Olivia was still lost in thought, sitting there in a daze. She hadn’t expected him to come out so quickly, so she hastily got off the bed. However, she collided with him in her rush to get out.

He caught her instantly.

Embarrassed, she kept her head down, her hands gripping his collar.

He looked at her, finding her reaction quite amusing. A smile formed on his face as he asked, “Why did you panic?”

Feeling embarrassed, Olivia mumbled softly from within his embrace, “Nothing,

I just suddenly felt dizzy.”

She offered this explanation to salvage her pride.

He played along and whispered in her ear, “Do you still feel dizzy now, then?”

Her heart raced as his lips brushed against her earlobe. He was being unusually intimate. She remained in his embrace, unwilling to look up.

He decided to stop teasing her and said, “I’m leaving now.” His tone was gentle, almost as if he were speaking to a newlywed wife.

Olivia’s heart fluttered as she finally let go of his collar, obediently replying, ” Hmm, okay.”

He released her as well. As she managed to regain her composure and stand still, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Naomi who had called, with several missed calls from her. This detail had escaped his notice until now.

Olivia instinctively stepped back in surprise, putting some distance between them.

Tyler glanced at her but said nothing. Frowning, he gripped his phone and left the bedroom.

Olivia’s heart was still pounding, and she felt a sense of panic.

Fortunately, she was free to move about the house as she pleased. As she descended the stairs, the maid, wearing a friendly smile, remarked, “It looks like you were exhausted at Ms. Naomi’s birthday party yesterday.”
