Chapter 61 - Mr. Meddler

Honestly, Raine's constant flirting with other men bothered Tyrone so much, even though he was well aware that it might even not mean a thing to her. However, that four-eyed doctor named Rui Dee went beyond bothersome. He noticed how that man was deliberately following Raine whenever he could. Tyrone would always see him around Raine, which left a bitter taste in his mouth.

But contrary to his observations, he noticed that Raine was enjoying the activities, so he only consoled himself with it.

After the activities, Tyrone saw Raine walking back to her room. He, as usual, followed her up. He already had access to Raine's room since the latter already gave him the spare keycard.

"Ah, I feel so tired. I think I'll just stay here in my room. Please order some room delivery so we can eat lunch here together," Raine tiredly instructed as soon as he was inside the room. She was sitting on the couch, her head leaning at the back of the seat with her eyes closed.

"It seemed like you're having fun," Tyrone commented as he walked towards the telephone to order room service for lunch.

Raine giggled, "Yeah… Surprisingly, I've been having fun. It's been a while since I had this kind of genuine social life. Ah, if you only knew how tiring it was to hunt at night and sleep during the day."

"Why do you even hunt and kill? Mutants?" Tyrone casually asked. "I heard that the Mirage wanted to live in peace, so why bother to hunt mutants and instigate a war with them?"

Raine opened her eyes. She had a smirk on her face as she mumbled, "Why do you always mention the Mirage? Do you really believe that my Moonlight Squad is connected to that myth?"

"Let's not play innocent here. I know all about the Mirage and how you belong to a clan. Your uncle already briefed enough about it to me," Tyrone stoically countered. "I'm sure he told me that so he would have a good reason to silence and kill me later once I no longer have a use for him." 

Raine did not comment about what she just heard. Instead, she focused on more important matters, "Just shut up and order some food. Our lunch is more important since I'm starving."

Tyrone shrugged his shoulders as he dialed room service. After which, they ate lunch in silence. But in the middle of eating, Raine suddenly commented, "How come you're just stalking me? Didn't I tell you to have fun?"

Tyrone coughed and cleared his throat. Swallowing the food inside his mouth, he then defended, "I'm your bodyguard, so it's natural that I'll always be around to keep you safe."

"Alright, but keep your distance as much as possible. No matter what happens, don't interfere," Raine reminded.

"Got it," Tyrone answered in a whisper.

Soon after, Raine brushed her teeth and changed into her swimwear. Tyrone gulped as she went out of the bathroom.

"You're going out like that?" he asked with a frown.

Raine raised her eyebrows at Tyrone as she snorted, "Why? I'm still covered, you know? Even so, you're the only one who managed to stay alive after seeing me naked anyway."

Tyrone's blushed as she took in sight before him. Raine wore a two-piece swimsuit with a kimono-print jacket cardigan long robe to cover herself up. She looked way too sexy that he hated to imagine how men would just drool all over her voluptuous body. He didn't want that, but he also knew he had no right over her! In the end, Tyrone ended up staying silent, even if he couldn't hide his disapproval of Raine's swimwear.

Pleased with her presence, Raine left Tyrone in her room and walked towards the elevator. She went to the ground floor to mingle with the rest of the group. Looking around, she frowned when she noticed someone suspicious sneakily staring in Xander's direction.

Quickly, she turned around to look at any of her men around the area disguised as guests. She saw Dylan, and when his eyes landed on her, she gave him a signal. Dylan quickly understood the message and promptly followed the man.

Raine then curved her lips into a beautiful smile and immediately approached Xander.

"We'll be starting soon. Let's go?" Raine asked, smiling as she snaked herself around Xander's arm. All eyes were on her, but she didn't care. She needed to stay close to Xander to keep the man safe.

They then all went outside for another team-building activity that Sun called a canoe.

Xander, Yera, Rizie, Dion, and Raine teamed up for the war canoe, but Rui suddenly pulled Raine away from the group, saying that they needed one more woman since it was unfair for others that their team had four men.

"Why me?" Raine asked in her gloomiest face. How could she focus on her work when this meddler would keep on blocking her way?!

"Simple. It's because I want to get near you. Didn't you say that I have dirty thoughts about you? So…" Rui grinned. 

Raine sighed. She already understood his intention. The man would simply not let her get near his friend and jeopardize Xander's relationship with his secret wife. But even if it was a noble effort, Rui was starting to get on her nerves!

"You don't know what you're doing," Raine mumbled with a frown.

"Yes, I do know what I'm doing. I'm saving my friend from someone dangerous like you," Rui proudly declared. 

Raine just wanted to smack the man's face at that moment. Even so, it wasn't Rui's fault since he had no idea about the situation. None of them knew what was going on since they were all too focused on Dr. Deyna Song's welfare. They were simply just unaware that Xander's life was the one in danger at that moment.

Raine's eyes narrowed before her lips formed a mocking smile, leaning forward as she whispered into Rui's ear, "Don't test my patience. You don't know who you're trying to mess with here… Don't tell me later that I didn't warn you, Mr. Meddler…"

Rui frowned as he mused, 'Is she threatening me?' 

For some reason, he suddenly felt a  nerve-wracking chill when he saw her give him a scornful smirk.
