The Beginning Of All Sins

Tyler smiled. "This hotel is known for its great breakfast. I invited you all to try it with me."

The group was pleasantly surprised. "How could we possibly refuse?" they exclaimed.

Tyler chuckled and led the group in a lively conversation.

Then someone called out, "Tyler."

The group turned around. It was Claude-the man who was still being talked about in the news. He was smiling.

Tyler smiled back, raising an eyebrow. "Claude."

He was with just his personal assistant. He had been keeping out of the spotlight since the incident. If he hadn't spoken, Tyler would have missed him.

Claude walked over. "Funny running into you here. What a coincidence."

Tyler looked at him carefully before answering, "It is. How have you been?"

Claude's eyes seemed to twinkle. "I'm doing alright."

"That's good to hear. I was worried it might have knocked you down too hard."

"Not at all. I have to keep going... for Morgan's sake."

"That's a relief. Then I don't have to worry on Morgan's behalf."

The rest of the group was confused. They stared at the two until Claude recognized one of them. "Mr. Simmons?" C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Just as shocked, the man hurried over to Claude and hugged him. "Claude! I wasn't sure it was you!"

Tyler squinted his eyes. Linda, his assistant, looked a bit stern.

Claude and the man chatted briefly before breaking apart. "Tyler, I'd like you to meet a friend I made when I was in an old town," Claude said.

"I was there for work and ended up driving my car into a water reservoir. Claude saved me," Mr. Simmons added quickly. "It's amazing to meet my hero again!"

Tyler raised his eyebrow. "That's new to me, but it doesn't surprise me since Claude is my brother-in- law."

The man laughed. "Sorry, I should have told you, Mr. Harris. I'm just happy to see Claude again!"

"Why are you two here?" Claude asked.

Mr. Simmons answered before Tyler could. "Mr. Harris is interested in some land here, Claude. Since I know the area, he asked for my help."

"Which area is that?" Claude asked, interested.
