The Beginning Of All Sins

Chapter 212

In the looming presence of Tyler’s shadow, Olivia seemed tiny, her body trembling.

He had the urge to hug her, but instead, he got up. Standing close to her, he said, “Stand up.”

Olivia was silent for a moment. After closing her eyes briefly, she replied, “Okay.”

Slowly, she rose from the floor and faced him. “I’m alright, Tyler.”

She seemed a bit stronger and quickly turned away. When she did, her hair touched his shoulder. He bent his head down, a sweet scent lingering in the air.

Tyler went to his study because he had many online meetings. Right when he sat down, Naomi called him. He looked at his phone before answering. Naomi’s voice came through, “Tyler?”

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

“How’s Olivia doing?”

Thinking of Olivia’s recent state, Tyler replied while lighting a cigarette, “She’s doing okay.”

“I’m glad to hear that. I wanted to visit her, but my health…” Naomi said.
