The Beginning Of All Sins

The managers didn't linger to chat; they just nodded and hurried off.

When Tyler and Olivia entered the room, everyone remained standing until they were seated. Tyler glanced at Olivia and asked, "Would you like anything in particular?"

The staff brought over the menus and handed one to Olivia.

The managers, who seldom saw Olivia, were not used to seeing such a tender moment between them.

Olivia shook her head, and Camilla, noticing the attention they were attracting, quickly intervened, "Let me pick something she'll enjoy."

Tyler silently handed the menu to Camilla, who then began discussing options with the staff.

Once all the dishes were served, Tyler made sure Olivia was comfortable and deliberately avoided discussing the village. He attentively helped her with her meal, offering gently, "Would you like to try this? Oh, how about this one? It's a bit sweet. Give it a taste."

The others remained silent, watching, as Olivia declined everything with a shake of her head.

Finally, Tyler placed a glass of orange juice in front of her, asking softly, "How about some juice?"

After a reminder from Camilla, Tyler stopped assisting Olivia and shifted the conversation, "Sorry for the delay. Let's discuss the project's progress."

The managers finally perked up and went straight into work mode.

Though embarrassed, Olivia didn't shake her head this time.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
