Chapter 8 - Temporarily Took Charge

While their team was traveling down the road, Raine was currently waiting for updates from her men. She rested her head and leaned back comfortably against the backseat of their car.

"Any news about that silver-haired man?" Raine murmured with her eyes closed. "Give me a name so I can address the guy properly."

Levi handed Lyne the tablet before whispering, "She's looking for the man with silver hair and bluish-gray eyes. He was inside the Haven Club last night. Once you find him in the database, call and follow it up with Mia, please."

"Sure." 

Lyne nodded in understanding as she grabbed the tablet from Levi to do her work. Now that Levi had already hacked Haven's database, it was up to Lyne to go through each and every visitor profile and filter them. 

She focused on the guest list, swiping through countless profiles that didn't match the description. It was a good thing that there was only one silver-haired man who entered the club last night. As soon as Lyne found their man, she called Mia, their best security hacker in the squad, to send the cote profile of the man.

After almost five minutes, Lyne turned to the back as she called, "Boss."

Raine's eyes snapped open as she immediately reached for the tablet."Great work." A vicious smile played on Raine's lips as her attention shifted to reading through the details of this silver-haired man who had caught her attention. 

"So… he's a bodyguard who's currently working for Devon?" Raine commented. "It's no wonder then why he was at the club." She smirked, "But considering what transpired last night? Devon will definitely fire them all for their incompetence." 

It was a pity.

Tyrone Lopez was the guy's name. For some reason, something intrigued her about this man. That was not even mentioning the fact that he reminded her of the Lollipop Boy. The two of them shared the same hair and eyes, and it was possibly one of the primary reasons why she was drawn to him the moment her gaze caught him last night. 

Finally deciding on her next order, Raine leaned forward towards the front seat, "Check this guy's movement while I was on the run last night." She instructed, "Look at the time. I want to know what he was doing when that Lollipop Boy appeared and saved me." 

Raine's hunch never went wrong, but then, she could also be wrong. She wanted to make sure if Tyrone and the Lollipop Boy were two different people. There was no room for arrogance or jumping to conclusions. Tyrone could be the Lollipop Boy or not, but the fact remained that she was interested in Tyrone either way.

A small smile played on Raine's lips. She sucked on her lollipop before pulling it out with a soft pop. Staring at the candy's sweet light green color, Raine didn't bother to read the wrapper when she removed it a while ago. Even then, it still tasted a lot like mint. 

"Add mint flavor to my lollipops," Raine nonchalantly instructed Levi.

"Got it, Boss," Levi answered. 

He and Lyne exchanged meaningful glances. Both were curious. Obviously, their Boss suspected Tyrone to be the one who saved her last night… the one she nicknamed Lollipop Boy.

The two honestly didn't know why their Boss loved lollipops so much. She had already been like this ever since she was a kid. The scary and deadly Princess would always be in a good mood whenever she had a lollipop with her. 

It was obvious that there was a history behind the Lollipop Boy and their Boss. 

"How about I get a new bodyguard?" Raine suddenly suggested with a mischievous smile. "I want this man." 

"A bodyguard?"  Levi stifled the urge to chuckle. "Are you serious, Boss?" He knew that his Boss would knock him down on the spot if he ended up laughing.

Raine raised her brows as she narrowed her gaze at the man, "What seems to be the matter? You seem to be holding back your impressions. Spill it out, Levi. I don't like hearing your voice from your nostrils!"

Levi gulped as he softly explained, "Princess, you don't need a bodyguard. You've said it yourself too many times every time your uncle insisted on giving you one. Remember how he always asked you to see the lists he provided and pick a bodyguard?"

"Levi is right, Boss," Lyne added. "Your uncle Yun has been offering you to have one, but you always refused him. Imagine how furious he would be once he found out that you got one on your own. We can't afford to be on his bad side while the King, your father, is still unconscious."

"That old man is just trying to plant a spy on me," Raine scorned with a gloomy face. 

She knew that the old man was planning something. He was always up to no good. Her Uncle Yun was so against her for some reason. He was monitoring her every move, waiting for her to make even a single mistake. She assumed that it was all connected to the Moon Clan leader position and that she was a threat to the throne in his uncle's eyes. 

King Marcus, her father, fell into a coma. Since then, his brother Yun temporarily took charge of the Moon Clan with the approval of the Mirage Council. Her uncle probably believed that his father would no longer wake up, but she knew her father would be back soon. 

She bet that her uncle could not wait for his father's demise. But her uncle didn't have the guts to kill his brother, King Marcus, for the throne.  And for that, Raine was grateful. The man at least knew how to have a heart towards his family members. 

However, it didn't change the fact that Raine was so dissatisfied with how her uncle was managing their Clan. She tried her best to keep her calm and maintain a good relationship with her uncle only at least until her father woke up. 

She immediately brushed off the thought about her uncle, or else her mood would sour further and ruin her entire day.
