Olivia followed Tyler as he left for the office.


    Linda ced the basket on his table and asked, "Shall we start unpacking now?"


    "Yes."


    Tyler sat on his chair while Linda took out cookies and iced coffee. He stared at the food motionlessly.


    Olivia had no idea what that face he made even meant. She just wanted him to finish this so she could


    leave.


    "What, you''re not gonna eat?" Tyler grumbled icily.


    "I''m not hungry," Olivia said.


    "You''ll eat with me."


    His eyes were still cold.


    Olivia replied carefully, "I''m not hungry, really. Just finish it so I can bring it home."


    She had no idea that Tyler was there because Ana threatened him.


    He stared hard at her t expression.


    "We eat together," he said again, his tone umonly hard and his eyes frosty.


    Olivia could not understand why he was making her eat. She was just a delivery girl as far as she


    knew. But she wanted to finish her mission and return home soon, so a whileter, she approached


    him. Linda could sense something was amiss. She nced at Tyler and then Olivia. Her heart raced.


    Olivia stood before Tyler''s table. "Okay."


    She waited for him to tell her which cookie to take, but he just looked at her silently. She reached out


    for a chocte chip and gingerly nibbled at it.


    "You''re acting like my mother''s little soldier," Tyler said suddenly.


    Linda stared at her boss in surprise.


    Olivia''s hand tightened around the cookie. Her lips trembled.

    "Can you not think the worst of me? I''m simply trying to protect myself. I just don''t want to upset her


    before this child is born," she replied. "I''m the one who needs to consider how to interact with your


    mother, mot you. You don''t need to help me."


    ????


    Olivia just wished for these months to be as peaceful as possible. Everyone had someone they wanted


    to shield and Olivia could only protect herself by offending as few people as possible. Ana coulde


    up with all sorts of schemes just to provoke her sister. What else could she do against Olivia?


    Olivia had to heed Ana''s words. She had toply with her


    requests because she had no


    et


    power to oppose Ana. She had to be submissive to the older woman while being extra cautious about


    Naomi and Tyler''s rtionship.


    "You should have stayed in the hospital with Naomi. I''m just a delivery girl. I didn''t mean to offend or


    bother you when I called. I didn''t even expect you to return."


    Linda felt her heart pounding and her palms sweating with nervousness. She stood quietly on the


    sidelines as this incident unfolded.
