The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia was really confused after Claude’s suggestion. As she looked at him, she noticed something very charming about his gentle face–it was like a spell.

“Only if you start liking someone else can you stop liking him. Understand?” Claude explained.

She felt lost in his kind eyes for a moment.

But then, Olivia quickly came back to reality and moved Claude’s hands off her face. Just then, the driver, who was waiting in the car, saw this sweet moment.

Claude took his hands back quickly when she pushed them away. He kept looking at her, slightly leaning forward.

She started to think that Claude was like a dangerous monster hiding behind kindness..

“Please, Claude, act properly,” she told him.

He chuckled upon hearing that and then stood up straight. “Did I scare you?” His eyes remained gentle.

Olivia shook her head. “I don’t like what you did.”

“What did I do?”

Olivia couldn’t understand how Claude could be so charming without even trying. His words had a magical effect on her.

“Nothing,” she answered.

Claude didn’t come any closer. He went back to acting the way that made her feel comfortable. “Sorry that I’ve offended you.”

Olivia always treated him like a brother, someone she could talk to about anything. Shet wasn’t angry at him and shook her head. “It’s okay.”

Then, they sat together on the stone pier. Claude smiled. “What I said was true, Olivia. I wasn’t joking. Maybe you should… try it.”

This idea started to grow on her.

After a little while, Olivia felt it inappropriate for them to be sitting there. She stood up quickly, saying, “I need to take care of something, Claude. I should go now.”

He didn’t try to keep her there because he saw she was uneasy. His eyes looked sad.” Okay, take care.”

She turned and walked to the car.

Claude stayed on the pler, watching her go with a slight smile.

Olivia was really nervous by the time she got to the car. She felt weird. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

The driver also noticed her nervousness. He politely asked, “Shall we head back home, ma’am?”

She nodded. “Yes, let’s… go

home.”

As they started to leave, he saw Claude still sitting there through the mirror. Claude sensed the gaze, and he gave the car a cold stare.

They drove back to the Harrises. When Olivia got out of the car, she saw Tyler leaving the

house with Keith.
