Chapter 121
The Beginning Of All Sins
âIs there something youâre craving?â
Olivia didnât know who sheâd be having dinner with. This was the first time she was going on business dinners with him, so she quietly said, âCan we order more food?â
He looked at her. âWe can get whatever you want.â
Olivia thought for a moment. âI donât really have any cravings.â
Tyler didnât want to push her. âOkay, weâll just pick something when we get there.â
The car pulled up at a fancy restaurant near the university, and Olivia followed Tyler into the elevator.
His secretary was there too, so Olivia stood quietly beside him while he kept his eyes on the doors.
Glancing up, Olivia caught Tyler staring at her reflection in the elevator door, so she quickly looked away. He seemed unfazed.
When the doors opened, Tyler stepped out first, and after a gentle reminder from the secretary, Olivia followed suit.
Olivia had assumed it was just a simple dinner and sheâd be able to leave afterward. But when she entered the room and saw the lecturers and the dean, she froze.
Tyler, who was walking ahead of her, noticed and paused to look at her. Olivia tried to act normal and sat down next to him.
For Tyler, this was just a regular business dinner, and he had chosen a place near Oliviaâs university for her convenience.
Seeing how nervous she was, he spoke quietly. âThis is just a casual dinner. You can head back to the lab after. Donât worry too much about it.â
Olivia didnât know who she was supposed to be among the dean and lecturers, but they knew who she was. After the previous rumor, everyone knew she was associated with Tyler.
The dean greeted her, âMs. Olivia, a toast to you, but donât be pressured to drink,â
Stunned, Olivia sat next to Tyler while the dean downed his drink in one gulp. Unsure how to respond, Tyler intervened. âItâs just dinner, donât worry about her.â
The dean smiled at Tylerâs remark. âOf course! Someone you bring along must be important.â The dean was very polite.
Tyler replied, âSheâs just a student at your university, so she should be the one toasting you. But she canât drink, so please excuse her.â
The dean quickly reassured, âNo problem. We wouldnât make her drink. â
Tyler smiled, and the dean took his seat. Despite telling the dean not to focus too much on Olivia, Tyler still instructed the restaurant manager to give her the menu, saying, âOrder anything you want.
Olivia never imagined dining with the dean, let alone receiving a toast from him, especially since she didnât even drink.
After a moment, she took the menu, and Tyler shifted his attention away from her.
However, one of the lecturers remarked, âMs. Olivia is one of the top students in our school. Not surprising since sheâs Naomiâs sister.â
Tyler didnât respond to that.
Another lecturer said, âNaomi was always at the top of her class when she was here, a perfect match for you. Sheâs also amazing at playing the piano. She always performs at our annual fundraiser.â
