The Beginning Of All Sins

Tyler didn't react to what Naomi said.

When Tyler got home after taking Naomi back to the hospital, Olivia was already there. It was 11 o'clock, and most people in the house had gone to sleep. Tyler went upstairs and straight into the bedroom. Olivia was sitting by the bed, still awake. She looked at him as he walked in.

He put the box on the nightstand and said, "Keep it."

The room was dimly lit by just one wall lamp, casting a large shadow behind him. He stood tall in front of her, making her look small by comparison. Tyler then took off his tie and left the room. As he turned to go, his face showed a brief flash of intense emotion before he concealed it.

Olivia stared at the box, unsure whether to open it or even touch it. After a long time, she looked away.

Just then, her phone beeped with a new message. It was from Claude.

[Don't feel pressured, Olivia. This is your first gift from me.]

On his way to the office, Tyler rested his eyes. Angus called him, and he picked up. "Claude wants another board meeting about the restructuring. Only a few of Yancey Bank's directors are in favor of it." Tyler, waking up, replied casually, "Claude was just promoted to vice president, right? If he's so keen to leave his job, let's help him out before the restructuring."

Angus was quiet, taking in what Tyler said. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

That morning, as vice president, Claude called for a second board meeting. The topic was the same: restructuring. Yancey Bank operated by voting, so if Claude pushed for changes, the Harris Group couldn't stop him.

The board members met again. Standing in front of everyone at the meeting, Claude said, "Restructuring will benefit Yancey Bank's future, which is why I want to discuss it again. I hope you'll understand my reasons and support it."

He looked at Angus and the others who opposed him, "I hope the opposition will agree with the decision of Yancey Bank's directors." The room fell silent. He then nodded to the person managing the meeting, "Let's start."

The person turned on the projector, and everyone looked at their laptops. Suddenly, some unexpected photos appeared on their screen.
