The Beginning Of All Sins

The receptionist hid her surprise and answered, "Alright, ma'am." She left the office.

Tyler hardly noticed any of this. He was watching Olivia as she nibbled on the cookies.

Hillary was getting more suspicious. Her call had not been answered-and she had called the secretary herself!

She walked over to Naomi, who suddenly said, "Maybe we should go to Harris Group."

"What?"

"Well, it's not like we have anything to do here. We can ask about Olivia once Tyler's finished with his thing."

Hillary was surprised to hear Naomi suggest this. She didn't know what to say. "Are you sure? What if he's in a meeting?"

"Don't worry, we won't be a big bother. It's just a visit," Naomi replied.

Hillary didn't try to stop her daughter. She knew Naomi was really worried about Olivia and getting anxious about Tyler's absence. She said, "Alright. I'll go with you."

"No. If he's still in his meeting, we'll wait for him in his office."This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Hillary smiled. "As you wish, young lady. Let's get in the car." Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the building.

Olivia had finished a few cookies and was now close to Tyler in the office. Tyler let her stay close. He ever cleaned the crumbs from her lips while Olivia smiled at him.

Camilla watched and maintained her best poker expression.

Someone knocked on the door. It was the meeting host, asking if they should continue the conference. She wouldn't have asked if all the

important people from the company weren't here.

Camilla couldn't decide, so she asked Tyler, "Uh, is the meeting...?"

"It's over."

Camilla was taken aback. The meeting was only halfway done. She saw Tyler playing with Olivia's hair and said, "I see." She quietly told the host, who then left.

A few minutes later, Tyler asked Alisa, "Did she walk around today?"

"Not really. She usually doesn't like going

for walks. But today,

wanted to come here. She's

usually... a little intimidatedover?
