Chapter 35: Less Talk, Less Mistakes
Lyne, Levi, and Mia were all dying to find out more, so they stared at Raine, waiting for her to start the story.
"Why are you all looking at
like that? This isn’t the ti for
to tell you what happened. For now, Levi and Mia should concentrate well on Aire." Raine then turned to Lyne, "As for you, Lyne, you will stay here to monitor the company while I’m away. Make sure Uncle Yun will not make us go bankrupt..."
"Wait, Boss. Are you telling us that you will go to country D alone? Are you not going to bring at least one of us?" Levi asked, puzzled.
"Precisely. I have a new bodyguard to look after
so you guys should focus on the most important matters at hand right now. Rember that you three are the only ones I trust, especially regarding such important matters. ..."
"But babysitting a werewolf is not that important, Boss! It can wait!" Levi pursued.
Raine raised her brows as she scoffed, "Are you saying that my daughter is not important, Levi? Should I remind you that Father might wake up anyti soon? If he finds out about Aire, then we’re all dead at. So taking care and giving her the proper training is the top priority!"
Levi opened his mouth to say more, but Raine glared at him so he ended up closing his mouth, taking a gulp that he almost choked on his own saliva.
Raine soon ended the call after discussing a few more important matters to the three. She then looked at her wristwatch and whispered, "Ah, ti flies so fast. I have to leave now
. Lyne, please take good care of the situation here while I’m away."
"Noted, Boss," Lyne answered with a reassuring smile.
Raine stood up and left her office. Tyrone imdiately followed her from behind, but Raine halted in her tracks and said with her brows lifted, "Why are you walking behind ? Will you be able to block my attackers from the front if you walk behind ?"
Tyrone shook his head and walked past Raine, covering her front.
"If you walk like that, then how can you be so sure that no one from behind will suddenly pull or attack ?" Raine snorted before pulling Tyrone’s shirt so they could walk side by side, together, at the sa pace. "You must walk with
like this in order to protect
properly," Raine lectured.
Tyrone could barely hide the smile on his face because of how adorable Raine looked at that mont.
’Stop that and focus on your goal!’ Tyrone’s inner self contorted. He imdiately returned to his stoic, blank expression.
Raine had a naughty smile on her face as they walked together. She didn’t know what ca to her that she even held Tyrone’s hand probably because she felt possessive whenever she noticed a woman’s eyes prying on Tyrone as they walked.
"What are you doing?" Tyrone whispered. He tried to pull his hand off from her, but Raine only tightened her grip even more, securely clasping all her fingers with his.
"Holding your hand? Isn’t it obvious?"
"I know, but why are you holding it?" Tyrone mumbled, confused. He didn’t know how to react. A part of him was in protest, but the majority of him liked it.
Raine rolled her eyes and replied, "Because I feel more secure this way?"
Tyrone did not argue with her. Sohow, he got used to her boldness in the short ti of being with her. He had to please her with everything if he wanted to gain her trust and complete what he needed to do.
They reached the car with Raine still holding his hand. He was about to go to the backseat to open the door but Raine instructed, "I will sit in front, with you."
Tyrone dropped his shoulders, followed by a loud exhale. Raine chuckled when she saw his reaction before she asked, "What are you waiting for?"
As Tyrone opened the door, Raine didn’t let go of his hand, even though she entered and sat inside.
"The seatbelt, please," Raine continued. Only then did she let his hand go.
Tyrone still didn’t say a word when he bent down towards her to pull her seatbelt. Raine didn’t waste a mont’s ti by staring closely into his face. She was trying to picture the boy she t when she last saw him that night, but it was only the eyes that she could clearly rember. Tyrone’s eyes...
"Nathaniel," she whispered. And when she did, Tyrone halted. He turned his head to stare at Raine who didn’t bat an eye when she stared back at him.
"Did you just call
by another man’s na?!" He furrowed his brows in disbelief.
Raine smiled at him, "Did I? Probably because you two have the sa eyes that I suddenly thought that he’s you."
"I’m not him, so please address
properly..." Tyrone scolded.
Raine lifted her eyebrows, but she didn’t bother to comnt. She wondered if she was mistaken about it because she saw sothing in Tyrone’s eyes when she said Nathaniel’s na. Grief, pain, and sorrow... Yet, it was rely a flash that quickly passed his eyes.
"Why do you always frown whenever I’m near? It’s like I sll bad in that expression... Or could it be disgust?" Raine couldn’t help but voice out. Tyrone always had the sa frown whenever they were this close to each other. Always those lines on his forehead.
Instead of answering her, Tyrone ignored her. Raine only heard the clicking sound of her seatbelt.
"It’s done, Boss," Tyrone said as he quickly moved away from her. Raine watched him walk to the other side of the car and go inside to drive.
"Or is that your way of controlling yourself before a beautiful woman?" Raine teased as Tyrone stepped on the gas to drive.
"You’re so ahead of yourself... B.O.S.S." Tyrone scoffed, which caused Raine to chuckle.
"I am not... I’m just stating a fact since I clearly sll good and beautiful for you to frown like that," Raine comnted with a shaless grin. Tyrone remained silent so Raine continued, "I’ll take your silence as a yes then. Anyway, I’ll take a quick nap. So just wake
up when we arrive at the airport."
"Noted, Boss," Tyrone answered, followed by a relieved sigh. Less talk, less mistakes.
