Chapter 60 - Important Insights

The next day, Tyrone immediately offered to assist her, but she disregarded him just as quickly.

"Don't you dare meddle in this affair, Tyrone. You'll jeopardize my plans, so stay out of it and just have a normal vacation while you're here," Raine said with a serious tone as she moved to leave him behind to join the others for breakfast. "Try to enjoy the place and have fun while I'm busy." 

Tyrone could do nothing but follow Raine's instructions. She didn't disclose to him her exact plans, but he knew that Raine wanted him to tell her uncle that she intended to kill Xander Yang. So that exactly was what he would report to Yun. However, he was still hoping that Raine wouldn't just kill an innocent man…

Raine walked towards the elevator to join the rest of the group for breakfast. Looking at the man standing in front of everyone, it would seem that the Yang Hospital had hired an organizer to arrange everything for their team-building program. The host had introduced himself as Sun, ushering everyone and doing all of the usual hosting stuff.

Raine vaguely monitored Xander as she went on. She wanted to make sure the man was out of danger by any means till she came up with the final decision on how to save him. She didn't mind looking like a slut who was deliberately flirting with Xander just to be close to him.

After breakfast, they then proceeded with the activities led by Sun. Everyone was requested to gather together and form a circle. 

"Alright! For our first activity, we will do a group storytelling session. Everyone will be split into groups, and each person will switch turns to stand in the middle of the circle and share their experiences on the work floor based on the keywords that I will give you," the host cheerily explained. "This will improve your bonding as a team, as well as learning some things about each other and relive some old memories. So, get ready, everyone."

Sun quickly posted some sticky notes containing words such as 'First Day,' 'Work Travel,' 'Partnership,' 'Side Project,' and more. Each participant would then choose from these keywords to kickstart the storytelling session.

Raine had so much fun watching Xander's confidence from the sidelines as he shamelessly and purposely confessed his love for his wife, who went by the name of Dr. Deyna Song, but in reality, was actually Dr. Yera Han. Their relationship as a married couple was still a secret to others. On top of all of that, Xander had many other things going on. Not to mention the complicated situation of his wife that Raine knew as well.

She truly pitied Xander's situation at that moment. He didn't even know that his life was in danger right now. 

Xander's wooing strategy being sneaked into this kind of group activity was really amusing. As Raine felt Rui's eyes land on her, she  immediately acted like she was irritated that Xander had confessed to someone else. In truth, she honestly adored Rui's genuine care for Xander as a friend, almost like a brother's even. It was also fun to see how he tried to protect Xander from her.

"Okay, everyone, the storytelling session's over. I hope you can better understand each other now after everyone has shared some of their stories. We will have a thirty minutes break before we gather outside for our next activity," Sun joyfully explained as soon as the storytelling session was over.

After the first session, the group had a lot of fun during their outdoor activities. They all completed the task given to them, all while everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves throughout the course. 

"Let us now proceed to the next activity. Don't worry, guys. This time, we'll do something relaxing and non-physical since I know how exhausted you all are right now," Sun laughed as he saw the complaints on everyone's faces upon hearing the words of 'another activity.' 

"Also, I've heard we have a psychiatrist present here with us today. So may I just request our psychiatrist to come out in front and give us some important insights about the activity we just finished?" 

Surprised at the sudden callout, Rui scratched his head as he glared at Xander. "TRUST would make everything easier, don't you all agree?" he smiled as a cavalcade of yeses echoed throughout the room. "Most of the members in each group have been meeting each other for some time now. Many of you have gone through challenging life experiences together, and you all must've shared with one another's joys and pains. Through this journey, we built trust—something that we needed and used in each challenge. So, TRUST is the key factor here, right?" Rui continued, giving a particular diction on the word TRUST.

Raine rolled her eyes. She could tell that something was going on between Xander and Rui with all those meaningful glances they were having.

"What a great friend," Raine murmured. Obviously, Rui was helping out Xander with his wife with his so-called 'important insights.'

Raine shook her head as she witnessed how Xander gave his friend a thumbs up. Meanwhile, Rui gave him a look saying, 'Are you happy now?'

Before Rui ended her spiel, he reminded the group about how important teamwork and trust are to solve any sort of problems that might arise along their way, 

After everything of importance was said, everyone headed back to one of the more intimate spots on the island for some refreshments before gathering again for another activity called 'Truth And Lies.' It was an activity wherein each team member would have to say three truths and one lie about Themselves. Their team members would then have to guess which one of those fours statements was the lie. 

The group sat in a circle, and Raine had a devious smile plastered all over her face. She had just seen Tyrone looking in her direction, often catching him staring at her.

After all the preparations, the activity finally began. It started on a comic note because of Dr. Rui Dee, who first stood at the circle's center and stated his truths and lies.

"The truth is that I'm handsome, wealthy, kind, and a good liar."

Everyone laughed at his words. They pretty much all had the exact guess that him being a good liar was the lie. Dr. Rui answered them all with shrugged shoulders.

Raine got up next and looked directly at Tyrone as she said, "I'm a good lover, I hate lies,  I'm an assassin that has killed many people already, and I love cats."

"That's too easy!" one of the participants complained as they all agreed that the lie was that Dr. Yao was an assassin and killed many. 

Raine didn't say a word, only giving them her sweet, adorable smile that left most men present gasping in admiration. 

She wordlessly went back to her seat beside Rui, who mumbled, "I bet the lie there is that you're a good lover." 

Raine smirked, "I guess you're not a psychiatrist for nothing, huh?" She then stared at Rui closely with her seductive smile as she teasingly added, "Do you want to know whether I'm a great lover, Dr. Dee? You sound like you're challenging me to a bet. You see, I can always just show you how good I am as a lover if you want to. Just say the word, and I'll willingly show you…"

Rui frowned as Raine chuckled. His face was so red with embarrassment.

Throughout all this, didn't notice how Tyrone's face had darkened and his eyes had suddenly turned into a different color. He had heard how she teased Rui, and he was far from pleased with it.. Taking a deep breath, Tyrone composed himself as he controlled his emotions at that instant, bringing the bluish-gray colors back in his eyes.
