The Beginning Of All Sins

Linda and Tyler were talking about work in the study.

“We’ve gone through all the accounts for our branch in Seta City. Everything seems to be in order.”

Tyler had shown up at the party mostly to check on the Harris Group’s branch, the Pinnacle Group. But they hadn’t figured out why money had been missing for years.

“When it all looks too good, something’s usually off. Did you look into the management team?” Tyler asked, his expression serious as he looked over the accounts.

“Yes, but we didn’t find anything. We even sneakily added a finance expert to the branch,” Linda

explained.

Tyler listened quietly.

Linda then remembered something important. “Oh, Mr. Tyler, I need to tell you something. Claude’s grandfather passed away.”

Tyler suddenly turned to look at Linda. “When did it happen?”

“About an hour ago. I found out while we were in the car.”

Tyler closed the folder and became quiet.

“Should we go and show our respects?” Linda knew the Harrises and the Pearces had a unique relationship, so she tread carefully. “They just told us the news…”

Tyler asked, “When is the funeral?”

“In three days.”

“Okay,” he said flatly and looked down, rubbing his fingers together as if he was thinking hard. His expression turned cold before saying, “We were family once, so it’s only right we show our respects now that my grandfather–in–law has passed.”

Linda felt her heart skip a beat at his casual remark. “Since we’re done with the inspection, we can head back to Tide City.”

“Okay,” Tyler replied, still sounding distant. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Olivia had dozed off while watching TV in bed. Linda saw her sleeping peacefully as she left the study.

Tyler came out after Linda. He told her, “You can go now.”

Linda paused and looked at him. “Alright, Mr. Tyler.”

After Linda left, Tyler went over to Olivia. She looked so calm in her sleep.

He carefully tucked her in and caressed her face. After a brief moment, he stopped and stood by the

bed for a while before going back to the study.

Olivia woke up suddenly at 10 pm, confused about where she was. After seeing the large TV, she remembered she was on a work trip with Tyler.

She felt worn out, especially now that she was pregnant and past the morning sickness.
