The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia went to fetch something else, moving with a reserved and unhurried grace that was pleasant to watch.

Tyler's gaze lingered on her.

Discovering that the maid had also brought fresh coffee, Olivia assumed it was for him. She intended to pour it out but was burnt as soon as she touched the thermos.

A scream escaped her lips instantly. As she released the thermos, it clattered to the table, spilling coffee everywhere.

Reacting to the splashing coffee, Tyler swiftly reached out and grabbed her hand.

In pain from the burn, Olivia collapsed into his arms. Looking up at him in panic, she felt embarrassed by her apparent incompetence. How was she supposed to seduce him? She had never attempted such a thing before she was only doing it because of Ana's threat. Despite her desire to keep her distance, Ana persisted in pushing her to charm him.

As their eyes met while she sat on his lap, Olivia wanted to cry from the humiliation but fought back the tears, stubbornly pursing her lips. Although Tyler allowed her to sit there, he gently lifted her chin, exposing her embarrassment.
