Chapter 54: A Peculiar Bodyguard-Client Relationship
"Thanks, Dr. Yang. I’ll take my leave now," Raine said her goodbyes before walking towards the door.
As she walked out the door, she had a devious smile as she brought up her phone and whispered on the other line, "I placed it in the painting, so make sure you monitor his office. I want that man safe no matter what."
After all was said and done, Raine headed back to her clinic. From then on, she was able to monitor Xander using the bug and the hidden cara she managed to put on the painting. Using her peculiar source of information, she beca aware of the hospital’s situation, as well as the threats around Xander.
"Terrorist attack?" Raine murmured while listening to Xander’s conversation with his best friend, Dr. Rui Dee, the man that she had once encountered at Haven Club. He was the one that fainted in his drunken state while he witnessed her snapping a mutant’s neck in half.
Raine sighed. It seed like her Uncle Yun was already itching to make his move. She could tell that this was all a part of his plan. He was trying to fra all those terrorist attacks on the Earth Clan mbers.
"Boss, are you alright?" Lyne asked, noticing how her Boss kept on sighing more than usual from the other line. They were currently both online watching the conversation between Xander and his best friend.
"I’m fine, Lyne. I’m sure my uncle will co here soon. I need to know his schedule beforehand," Raine instructed.
"Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll look into it and get back to you asap."
"Thanks, Lyne," Raine thanked before cutting off the call.
Looking at the clock, she noted that it was about ti for her to go back to the penthouse. She was about to leave when the door to her clinic swung open.
"What are you doing here?" Raine questioned as soon as she saw Tyrone entering the clinic.
"Picking you up, Boss," Tyrone answered with a roguish smile.
Raine felt her heart leap at that smile. It was the first ti he saw him smile like that, and he actually looked so adorable. Very different from the stoic expression he often had.
"You should smile like that more often," Raine teased with a grin.
"Ah, but I’m not used to smiling," Tyrone replied with an awkward expression. He wasn’t aware that he smiled at her.
"I told you I want to be alone, so why bother to co here and pick
up so suddenly?" Raine rolled her eyes as she grabbed her bag.
"Well, your uncle is asking
to report to him, and I needed sothing to report. I won’t be able to do that if I’m not around you 24/7 like what you’ve asked ," Tyrone comnted.
"Yeah, right. Stick with
then," Raine mumbled as she walked past him.
Tyrone walked right beside her. Raine was honestly pleased with her current pace, but she didn’t show it. She liked seeing Tyrone getting clingy with her, and she just loved how Tyrone was vocal about how her uncle was asking him for reports while spying on her. It ant that Tyrone was on her side.
And yet... that dream she had was still clinging onto her mind. She unconsciously sighed at the thought of it.
As they reached the parking lot, Tyrone opened the car door for her, even putting her seatbelt on as soon as she sat. She watched him closely, focused to the point that she didn’t realize how her face and expression had already softened.
’I hope you’re not Nathaniel,’ she thought.
"You seed extra thoughtful and attentive today," she comnted as soon as Tyrone was inside the car.
Tyrone didn’t tell her about it, but he was still worried about Raine ever since last night. He knew she had a nightmare, and whatever it was, it seed to have greatly affected her since she was spacing out since this morning.
It was obvious that she wasn’t acting like her previous self when she said that she wanted to be alone. As such, he took the initiative to follow her to work to make sure she was okay. It was there that he witnessed how she stopped her car at the side of the road, seemingly staying there for a long ti as she placed her head on her steering wheel.
Sothing was bothering her, and he didn’t know what. However, he felt uneasy enough about it that he wanted to do sothing for her.
"How about we eat out this ti? There’s a good place not too far to stop by. I’m sure you’ll like it," Tyrone suggested as he drove the car out of the hospital.
Raine didn’t give him a reply, so Tyrone drove the car to the waterside restaurant with delightful scenery and view anyway. Raine had heard about the waterside restaurant, but it was her first ti to try eating at the place.
"Have you been here before?" Raine asked Tyrone as he parked the car.
"Yeah," he answered. He then quickly went out of the car to open Raine’s door.
Raine raised her eyebrows when she saw Tyrone’s hand offering to help her out of the car.
’What’s with him?’ she mused suspiciously as she held his hand and went out of the car. Seeing as she already had it, she took the opportunity to not bother letting his hand go since it felt warm and nice.
"It seems that we have a peculiar bodyguard-client relationship," Raine mumbled with a blank expression. They were comfortably holding hands as if they were in a romantic relationship. They were not, but she wouldn’t deny how comfortable she was around Tyrone.
She bit her lower lip as her mind wandered towards her nightmare again, where Tyrone and Nathaniel were one and the sa. A man who simply wanted nothing but to kill her. She still didn’t know why that dream affected her so much when it was nothing but a dream.
"Yeah," Tyrone agreed with a chuckle.
He knew that he should keep to his boundaries, but he just couldn’t help seeing her in that state. It was so unlike her. Tyrone preferred Raine being playful. He’d rather have her constantly bugging and bullying him instead with her bold and candid words. Raine being quiet like this was just that worriso for him.
Entering the restaurant, Tyrone chose the table near the terrace so they could have a better view of the ocean. Moving herself to her seat, Raine only let his hand go when the man moved a chair for her. She sat by, watching Tyrone sit on the chair opposite her.
"Are we on a date?" she asked with a smile.
"I just want to cheer you up cause you seed down after having that nightmare," Tyrone comnted with a blush. He was glad to see her smiling like that.
Raine gave him a sweet and seductive smile as she whispered, "Thank you. I truly appreciate this gesture, but I’m sure you can cheer
up later once we co back ho. "
Tyrone smiled back, not minding her playful expressions and words. What mattered to him at that mont was to see her back to her old self.
"The food here’s pretty good. I hope you’ll like what I ordered in advance," Tyrone casually spoke. "Later, you can unwind so more and stroll around the area with . They have really a nice ambiance here at night, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it."
"Alright, let’s do that then. Let’s be carefree with every opportunity that we have, darling," Raine said with a wink.
She could really feel that Tyrone cared for her. However, she really didn’t want to hope for much since she didn’t have the luxury of having sothing serious with the current situation she was in right now.
She sighed at the thought of how selfish she was for wanting to keep the man before her without the intention of having a serious relationship with him.
