Chapter 62

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

She was taken aback and hid beneath the sheets. She asked in a softvoice, " 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 dayoff. You can sleep in if you want.”

She pulled the sheets closer, feeling shy and embarrassed. Her voicewas barely audible as she responded, “I... It's okay. I can go toschool.”

Tyler left the decision to her, “Alright, it's up to you. I did that thinkingyou 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?Tyler, on the other hand, paid no attention to her thoughts. He got upand 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 hiscollar.

It took her a while to finally look up from the sheets. She blushed whenshe recalled what he had said to her last night. She knew she shouldn'ttake 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'texpected 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, replaceing her reaction quite amusing. A smile formed onhis 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 beingunusually intimate. She remained in his embrace, unwilling to look up.He decided to stop teasing her and said, “I'm leaving now.” His tonewas gentle, almost as if he were speaking to a newlywed wife.

Olivia's heart fluttered as she finally let go of his collar, obedientlyreplying, " Hmm, okay.”

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

Olivia instinctively stepped back in surprise, putting some distancebetween them.

Tyler glanced at her but said nothing. Frowning, he gripped his phoneand 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. Asshe descended the stairs, the maid, wearing a friendly smile, remarked,“It looks like you were exhausted at Ms. Naomi’s birthday partyyesterday.”
