Raine breathed out loudly as she watched Xander's back. She then crossed her arms and mumbled, "So tell me, do you think I'll be able to get his interest?"
She had asked Tyrone, who was now currently beside her. She was aware that he was peeking at her and Xander from a distance.
"He's already married," Tyrone plainly answered.
"Hmm, I guess I'm right that you knew of our Doctor CEO already…" Raine whispered with a raised eyebrow.
"I did some digging on him since I wanted to find out why the man needs to die," Tyrone whispered out after making sure that they had enough distance from any eavesdroppers.
"Well, good for you, but I'm not talking about Xander Yang. I'm talking about his best friend who witnessed me strip dancing back in Haven Club, Dr. Rui Dee. Ah, that man's so hot and interesting. Men with eyeglasses look so cool in my eyes," Raine cooed with a cunning smile while looking at the man not far from them. She had to bet that the man was on his way to the CEOs office right now.
Listening to her comments, Tyrone followed her gaze, only to frown as he whispered wryly, "I guess you have a lot of free time to get another man's interest before completing your task here. I didn't know you even had that luxury."
Raine chuckled, "Don't get jealous, darling. I'll make sure to spend more time playing with you, okay?"
With a final word, she then walked back to her clinic.
"Aren't we eating lunch?" Tyrone asked as he walked behind her.
"We are. But let's just eat inside the clinic. Order for delivery. I can't afford to be seen often with you," Raine instructed with her answer.
"Why worry when you have already spread rumors of me liking men?" Tyrone scorned.
Raine giggled, "Oh yeah… Still… men like Doctor Dee surely wouldn't easily believe such rumors. I want to play with him. He looks interesting."
Tyrone didn't know how to react. He was starting to get annoyed, but he tried his best not to show it.
'Why bother, Tyrone? You already know that you don't have the luxury to pursue that feeling…' he inwardly contorted. It was the truth, but deep inside of him, the urge to simply ignore everything except being with Raine as long as he could still reign.
"Play with him? Why not just play with me all you want?" he mumbled out as soon as they were already inside Raine's clinic.
Raine suddenly stopped to turn and look at him. She had that certain devious smile on her face that Tyrone suddenly regretted that he even said what he just said.
"Play with you? Are you sure about that? You won't run again when things get steamy?" Raine provocatively asked as she walked closer.
Tyrone took a few slow steps backward to retreat. Eventually, his back hit the wall, signifying a dead end. He gulped. With a frown, he murmured, "What I mean in play is… Like… Uhm, tease me or have fun by bullying me instead. That's what you intend to do with those doctors, right?"
Raine didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Tyrone's desperate reasoning at that moment. She leaned in closer and said, "What if I intend to do more to a particular doctor? Like Dr. Dee? What would you do, huh?"
Tyrone frowned, "I'll order lunch now. I'm starving. If you'll excuse me."
Raine simply watched as Tyrone escaped her clutches, quickly going out through the door without so much as a fuss.
"What the heck?" Raine pouted before a satisfied smirk curved her beautiful lips.
So Tyrone was playing hard to get? If so, Raine enjoyed his game. Although, she could still feel that he was hiding something from her. Even if he was faiing miserably to do so, she could still sense that he was intentionally trying to keep his distance away from her.
Raine sat back on her chair and grabbed one of the lollipops on her table. She then opened her personal computer and checked the live feed of the CCTV footage.
"Hmm, let's see how Uncle intends to eliminate you, Doctor CEO. He's a bit clumsy, so I'm sure he has a very tacky plan for you," Raine whispered to herself as she monitored each and every once of movement near Xander.
"Ah, I'll need a hidden camera installed inside your office too," Raine snorted. She had access to CCTV camera in every corner of the building except for Xander's office. He had no camera's inside his office, or if ever he had, he probably used a different system that Mia couldn't hack.
Raine sighed. She had no choice but to enter his office soon. She really didn't want to sneak in, however. She would rather enter his office in an official capacity, either due to work-related matters or because he had called for her. That way, she wouldn't be suspected of anything.
"Ah, I'm hungry," Raine grumbled out. Feeling rather famished, she called Tyrone from her desk, "Come here. Let's play for a while we wait for the food."
Tyrone gulped. He had just hung up the phone as he contemplated on whether to go inside Raine's clinic or not. In the end, he decided to go inside and face the music. Upon entering, Raine smiled at him and signaled him to sit on the couch.
She then got up from her chair and walked to the door to lock it.
"What are you doing?" Tyrone mumbled with a frown.
Raine had an evil smile on her face as she whispered, "We'll be playing for a while as we wait for lunch to arrive. You already said that I could play with you, right? So let's play now."
Tyrone stood up from his seat that instant. If Raine would sit on his lap, then it would mean trouble again…
Raine shook her head as she stared at Tyrone in disbelief, "What's with your reaction? Why even bother to offer when you can't even handle it. Are you a sissy?"
Tyrone's face dimmed, and in one quick motion, he pinned Raine to the wall.
"Say that again, and…"
"And what, s.i.s.s.y?" Raine teased with a heavy and clear diction.
Tyrone cursed. In that instant, he crushed his lips against Raine's. He was not gentle, and Raine felt his teeth biting her lips as if he was punishing or scaring her.
Even as their lips clashed, Raine smirked in her mind. 'Did he really think that I would cower?' she mused. She couldn't even believe how Tyrone fell for her teasing like that.
Ah, she even liked his lips, even if he was roughly kissing her.. Going for the attack, Raine moved her arms and securely wrapped them around Tyrone's neck, answering his rough kissing with the same intensity.
