Chapter 19: Hard-working Hands

Raine looked utterly focused on her work, and yet she kept on glancing at her wristwatch every now and then. She raised her eyes and asked Lyne, "Could you please check and see if my uncle has arrived at the office yet?" 

Lyne nodded and immediately dialed the Chairman's desk to check on it. She immediately got back to her Boss with the information.

"He's not here yet, Boss."

"He's probably still with Tyrone," Raine commented.

Levy shook her head as she saw the cunning smile on the Princess' charming face. She couldn't tell whether Tyrone was lucky or unlucky for being the apple of the eye of this lioness in disguise of a Princess! Their Boss was so unpredictable.

"Boss, he will recognize you as the blood-eyed hunter as soon as he sees you here. What if he exposes you?" Lyne reminded Raine. "Things will get pretty complicated if the news spread that the Blood-eyed hunter and The Heiress of Yue group are one and the same person." 

"I'm sure uncle Yun saw that coming already. He will probably blackmail Tyrone with his past to accept this job no matter what. Uncle's main goal here is to bring me down by exposing me ruthlessly, fully aware that Tyrone can easily recognize me as the Blood-Eyed hunter. He would use Tyrone to his advantage and mine."

Raine was already aware of Tyrone's past and criminal record, including the number of years he had stayed in prison. For her, it was a mere record that could be easily fabricated, something that was far from enough to convince her when her intuition didn't raise the alarm. Still, she didn't budge and followed her instincts about him. Her sixth sense was powerful, after all. That, and she liked him a lot.

Levi clicked her tongue, "Ah, he clearly had years-worth of criminal records in a few countries. All cleaned up by the USA effortlessly, Boss. We don't even know if he is a double spy or something."

Raine's large eyes glowed in excitement as she stared at Levi, "Oh, I like that idea, Levi! Him being a double spy… When he works for me, I'll make him into a triple spy! I can't wait for that to happen! It will be fun!"

Lyne and Levi exchanged frustrated glances and sighed. 

Raine smirked as she repeated the information in her head. A cold chill swept over her face at her thoughts. 

'The USA fabricated Tyrone's records… So that only means his criminal records could be fabricated too for all I car. It was why sometimes, trusting your own instincts was still the best choice since anything could be easily fabricated with connections nowadays...' 

Her face became serious when her thoughts landed at Umbra Security Agency (USA). The agency fascinated her, and so did the man behind it. No one knew or had even met the Chairman of that group, and she hoped to meet the man soon.

It was known to Raine that the USA was investigating the existence of the actual Mirage Group. The USA believed that Mirage existed, and they were so hell-bent on proving it. he latest news she had heard about the matter was that they firmly thought that the Blood-Eyed Hunter was connected to, and was a member of the MIRAGE.

"If anything happened to my father, Uncle Yun will tell the Mirage Council that I was careless in my actions, and hence, it will compromise the Mirage Group's existence …Ah, why is Uncle Yun so readable? And to think he wanted to take over the Moon Clan just like that? He needs to learn more if he wants to replace my father on the throne."

Raine let out a long deep sigh. She wondered about when her uncle Yun would get tired of tailing her every move. She wasn't interested in leading the Moon Clan, but that didn't mean she did not care for the Clan. She would not sit idle if she saw anyone destroying their Clan or the MIRAGE.

"And even after knowing all this, you are still willing to take the bait, Boss?" Levi asked in disbelief. "Take that Tyrone in and go all the way with all the hassle?" 

"Of course! I like complications, remember? Challenging stuff and mazes are my thing! Besides, I like that man, so… let me have him first. Then, we could think of a plan on how to get out of this and solve this mess later," Raine commented with a devious smile, making Lyne and Levi shrug their shoulders.

Raine knew the risks her decisions involved, yet she had no plans to stop getting what she wanted. Maybe she simply just wanted to be discovered. Or perhaps she was trusting her hunch too much that Tyrone was not a person who would do anything to destroy her.

Hours passed, and all the employees were busier than usual due to the Vice-Chairman taking her time roaming around the whole department to check on them and personally talking to each and every manager and director she came across.

Raine spent the majority of her time in the Finance Department.

She comfortably sat on the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) 's swivel chair and looked at the folder handed to her by Lyne. The CFO loosened his necktie as he gulped, beads of sweat visibly trickling down his forehead.

"Our dear CFO. I can see you're working so hard to entertain a lot of requests in making us…" Raine paused, and with a smirk, she stood up and walked closer to the CFO.

"Look at your tie. Is that how a man should properly do his necktie?" Raine whispered with her sweetest smile on the man. With trembling hands, the CFO immediately held his necktie to arrange it, but Raine gently touched his hands to remove it as she seductively whispered, "Ah, let me do the honor of fixing this necktie of yours."

"I-It's alright, Madame Vice-Chair. I can do it," the CFO stuttered. 

Raine stopped with enough distance to reach the CFO. She shook her head as she looked at the man fixing his necktie.

"Ah, look at those hard-working hands trembling," she whispered with a sympathetic tone as she touched the CFO's hands, removing it from his necktie as she added, "Let me do it."
