Chapter 106
In the quiet room, Olivia stood not far from Tyler. “Yes, Tyler?”
Tyler fixed his gaze on her. “Do you like him?”
Olivia paused, but when she realized what he was asking, she immediately denied it. “I just met him.”
Tyler wasn’t convinced and pressed on, “You were grabbing his sleeve and whispering in his ear event though you just met?”
His tone grew more serious, his expression stern. “Olivia, If you want to consider a better match, I won’t stand in your way. Just be honest with me. I can even help you investigate him for your sister’s sake. It’s an important thing to consider, and I’ll support you.”
What was he saying? Choosing a match? Investigating him? Was he thinking she had something going on with Claude? Or was he trying to get her a good bachelor?
Tyler’s demeanor didn’t seem as severe as Olivia had first thought. It sounded more like he was giving her advice.
“I appreciate your concern,” Olivia replied. “I’m still young, Tyler. I’m not thinking about that right. now. If I ever need help with it, I know who to ask.”
Tyler tightened,his grip on his phone, his gaze piercing. His eyes looked more and more intense. ” Alright, I understand. It’s your decision.”
The atmosphere between them cooled, the conversation coming to an end.
Just then, a knock interrupted their silence, prompting Olivia to approach the door while Tyler remained seated, watching.
The maid announced, “Mr. Tyler, Ms. Olivia, the dinner party is starting.”
With the guests filling the downstairs, Tyler had to join them. “Alright, you go ahead,” he said to the
maid.
As the maid departed, Olivia glanced back at Tyler. “Anything else you want to talk about?”
Tyler lit a cigarette, his eyes averted. “You can head downstairs first.”
Accepting his dismissal, Olivia left the room.
Tyler sat alone, tapping his cigarette into the ashtray, watching her walk away.
After the dinner party, Olivia kept her interactions with Claude and Tyler casual. As the guests left, only Olivia, Tyler, and Ana remained.
Ana suggested, “It’s getting late. You should stay here tonight.”

It was 11 PM, and Tyler, having had a few drinks while entertaining guests, lazily agreed, “Okay.”
Not expecting him to stay over, Olivia remarked, “I have class tomorrow, so I won’t be staying here tonight.”
