The Beginning Of All Sins novel (Olivia and Tyler)
Chapter 457

Olivia avoided eye contact with Linda as she got into the car, her expression tensing up.

Adam didn't know what had happened, so he looked at Linda.

Taking a moment to steady her breath, Olivia instructed, "Drive slowly."

He nodded and said, "I will."

Without delay, he climbed into the car.

Linda watched as they drove away from the Harris Group.

Ana looked toward the door when the car pulled over.

Just as Olivia entered the living room, Ana approached Olivia and greeted her, "You're home? Where's the food container?"

"I left it at the office," Olivia replied, stopping in her tracks.

Naturally, Ana didn't doubt Olivia's honesty and refrained from criticism.

"You must be tired after being out all afternoon. Go rest," Ana suggested.

Without a glance, Olivia headed upstairs, prompting a smile from Ana.

Naomi called Tyler, anxious to know about Ana's call.

"Tyler, what's going on? Is everything alright?" she asked as he picked up the phone.

He leaned against the desk, his expression tense and eyes downcast. Rubbing his temples, he replied, "Just a minor issue."

Noting the silence in his surroundings, she probed, "Are you still at the office?"

He sighed and loosened his tie, trying to rid himself of Olivia's lingering perfume.

"Yeah," he confirmed in his low voice.

Unaware of the recent events, Naomi remained optimistic. "Work-related, I assume?"

Unable to disclose Ana's actions, Tyler simply nodded. "Yeah."

A brief silence followed, during which Naomi began to second-guess herself. Perhaps she was overthinking things-Ana wouldn't resort to deceit.

Attempting to lighten the mood, she suggested, "Take a break for a few days. I'll keep myself busy and out of your hair."

His response was curt, his attention fixed on the discarded tie in his hands.

"In that case, I'll let you get back to it," Naomi said and waited for a moment. Noting he didn't protest, she ended the call.

After ending the call, Naomi felt a pang of sadness. She had hoped Tyler would say more to her, but it seemed they couldn't return to their old dynamic since the incident.

She thought she should put even more effort into fixing their relationship. She must close the distance between them.

Tyler remained at his desk, still leaning against it, as he unbuttoned his collar.
