The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia was surprised when Tyler asked if she wanted to leave the house. She thought about it for a moment and then said, “I’m fine here. I don’t need to go anywhere.”

Tyler nodded. “Okay, let me know if you feel bored.”

“I will.”

After they finished eating, Tyler left. Before he went, he asked the maid to buy two books about flower arranging for Olivia and to invite Colleen over to keep her company.

The maid did as Tyler asked and called Colleen over after he left.

Olivia was relaxing in her room when Colleen arrived and excitedly dragged her out, saying they were going to have fun.

Olivia was surprised but let Colleen lead her out:

Colleen took her to Maisy’s room, where they spent the afternoon watching opera on TV. Olivia found the opera dizzying and hard to understand, but the afternoon quickly passed by anyway.

Colleen didn’t want to leave in the evening. She and Olivia walked around the huge house. Olivia thought anyone new would easily get lost in it.

They went to the lawn to see the dandelions. Olivia watched them float in the air, looking dreamy.

“Isn’t it pretty, Olivia?” Colleen asked with a smile.

Olivia caught some dandelion florets in her hand. “Yeah, it’s very pretty.”

But Colleen wasn’t done yet. She insisted on taking Olivia shopping, even though Olivia was tired from the day. Colleen was full of energy and even got Tyler to agree to let them go.

To Olivia’s surprise, Tyler agreed and said he would pick them up later.

Despite feeling exhausted, Olivia went shopping with Colleen. They visited fancy boutiques befitting Colleen’s status, places where Olivia hardly shopped.

Colleen dragged Olivia into a boutique to look for a dress but didn’t find anything she liked. Then, they went to look at shoes, and finally, bags, but Colleen wasn’t satisfied.

Olivia felt drained after shopping with her and longed to return home.

About five minutes after they entered the bag store, Tyler came to her rescue. Colleen excitedly greeted him.

Tyler had finished his meetings for the day. He was dressed in a black suit, looking casual yet sophisticated. “What did you buy?” he asked.

“The new arrivals are ugly, so I didn’t buy anything.” Colleen pouted.

He went to Olivia and asked, “Did you see anything you like?”

Olivia hadn’t been interested in shopping, so she hadn’t looked for anything. “No.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“None of the bags got your attention?” Tyler asked, thinking young women usually like such things.

Olivia glanced at them and shook her head. “No.”

Colleen teased Tyler, “Just because she says no doesn’t mean she doesn’t want anything. Don’t be so tight with your money!”

She was determined to make Tyler spend today.
