Tyler leaned against the back of his chair. "I see. I've blamed you wrongly. Sorry, I should have thought about this from your perspective."
Olivia held the cookie tightly. Crumbs had begun to get into her nails.
Tyler suddenly shot a look at the secretary. "Leave the room for us."
Linda immediately obeyed. "Alright."
Olivia was uncertain why he was doing this. She thinned her lips and waited.
Once Linda left, Tyler stood up and approached Olivia, causing her to tense up.
"You don't seem to have known that my mother called me too," he whispered next to her. "She threatened me with you. Do you know that?"
Stunned, Olivia looked up at him.
Tyler met her gaze, and suddenly it felt like the space between them had shrunk too quickly. Olivia tightened her fists, closing her eyes. "I had no idea."
Tyler scanned her graceful neck and raven-black hair. She appeared fragile yet tenacious. Every inch of her seemed to ignite something primal within Tyler.
