The Beginning Of All Sins

Tyler took the phone from Camilla and answered it, coming to a halt when he glimpsed who stood at the door.

Ana's voice echoed from the other end of the call. "Tyler, Olivia wants to explore the city you're heading to, so I convinced her to join you. She's waiting by your car with her bags."

Olivia stood by his car, her demeanor betraying a hint of nerves, though she made an effort to conceal it.

Tyler's gaze remained fixed on her as Ana continued speaking.

Unsure of what he might make of her presence, Olivia stood still and initiated the conversation, "Your mother suggested I accompany you on the trip."

Olivia avoided his gaze. "Nothing. I won't be a bother during the trip. Just drop me off at the airport when we arrive."

Olivia caught hold of his arm. "Tyler!"

Her grip prevented him from walking away.

Pleadingly, she implored, "I promise not to disrupt your plans. Can't you bring me along?"

His demeanor turned frigid.

In the end, Olivia accompanied him Upon arrival, they checked into a hotel where the staff was still tidying up the room while she headed for the bathroom.

Approaching Tyler, Camilla asked, "Shall I book another room, sir?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

They had already secured their lodging in advance, reserving only one room.

Camilla hadn't considered that angle and glanced at Olivia.

Perhaps he was worried Ana might harm Olivia, given her strange behavior today.
