Chapter 68: A Stalker

The day finally came that the rest of the group had to leave the resort to head over to the new venue for the resumption of their team-building. They had been assigned to ride together in a van to their next venue.

Tyrone was driving behind them. Raine informed him of the details about the new venue, and this time, instructed him to stay hidden or have any sort of disguise for the other employees not to recognize him. It was necessary, or else he would look like he was stalking the group.

In the van, she sat beside Dr. Rui Dee. She wondered how Tyrone would react if he ever saw them together. All the while, her thoughts were focused only on one person, Tyrone. If Tyrone was beside her, she could've comfortably rested in his warm embrace during their travels.

Raine shook her head and mused, 'Ah, this isn't good. How come I'm the only one with a dilemma like this. I shouldn't have erased his memory so he too would feel the torment.'

The silence inside the van was nerve-wracking. Raine didn't bother to break it since she was way too busy figuring out how to untangle her conflicted emotions toward Tyrone.

However, Rizie, Dr. Song's secretary, couldn't take the silence anymore. The woman forced a conversation with an innocent question. "I wonder how that yacht suddenly exploded? I mean, I know the jet ski hit the yacht, but such a big and sudden explosion seemed unexpected at all."

"I know, right? I heard that someone had the same guess as to what happened. But then, I guess it's simply much better just to wait for the investigation to finish. Right, Dr. Dee?" 

Raine fizzled and turned to look at Dr. Dee beside her with a sarcastic smirk on her face. She couldn't blame the man for being suspicious of her, but then, she felt annoyed. If they only knew that she was working her as*s of to save Xander Yang.

Dylan had confirmed to her earlier that the explosion was no accident. Her uncle had instructed his men to plant a bomb in the yacht.

"And the target was Dr. Yang?" Rizie muttered out before she looked at Xander and asked, "Do you have any known enemies, Dr. Yang?" 

Xander shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. 

"Hmm… Xander did date a lot of women in the past. Could it be any of them holding a grudge against him? Maybe there's a woman who was interested in him and was trying to gain his attention by such actions?" Rui postulated. "Nowadays, people tend to plot against each other just to gain attention and trust from one another." 

Raine rolled her eyes. The doctor was obviously implying something with his words. She wanted to laugh, but she controlled herself to avoid making a scene. Rui must have liked a lot of drama series if he thought she would do something hilarious like that just to gain Xander's trust by saving him. 

'Ah, this man is so funny!' Raine sarcastically scowled to herself.

"That's surely a possibility. Mostly in movies, I believe. It could also just be your poor imagination, Dr. Dee. Nevertheless, I think we can all simply speculate while waiting for the investigations to finish. Sometimes, judging a situation, this early would only lead to misunderstandings. Don't you agree?" Raine stated with a sweet smile, turning her head towards Rui with a wink.

She inwardly smiled. Raine had enjoyed the sarcastic exchange of conversation with him. It was really amusing just how he was trying to put the missing pieces of the puzzle together, only to end up reshuffling them all over again.

"Excuse me, Rui, all the women I dated before were educated and well cultured. They wouldn't stoop as low to try to kill me. And besides, I haven't done anything that can offend them enough for them to want to kill me for revenge. I think that whatever happened back there is just a mere accident," Xander refuted. 

"I know, right? Why go to that extent when the woman could just sneak inside your room and undress in front of you? Or just easily drug you and take advantage of you afterward?" Raine scoffed, perpetuating the awkward atmosphere inside the van.

No one dared to comment anymore as the deafening silence inside the van occupied the entire trip. Before long, Raine and the group arrived at the new venue that evening. Everyone who had arrived earlier was already having dinner.

Immediately, everyone asked how Dr. Yang, Dr. Song, and Dr. Yao were doing after the incident. They simply confirmed that they were alright. As soon as she finished her dinner, Raine walked straight into her room. Unsurprisingly, Tyrone was already inside, waiting for her.

"You're like a stalker, you know?" she mumbled out as she sat on the couch and turned on the television to watch some news. The incident wasn't broadcasted since Xander covered it up. He also wanted a confidential investigation of the case.

"It's my job to stalk you as your bodyguard. You even asked me to stick with you 24/7, but I guess you only prefer a 12/7 service these days," Tyrone replied with a blank expression, making Raine chuckle.

"Why do you sound like you prefer to be with me 24/7? If I remember it correctly, you disliked that idea the first time you heard it."

Tyrone didn't reply. Instead, he just casually sat on the edge of the bed, facing her. Raine met his gaze, and none of them dared to blink. It was like a battle between who would blink or talk first.

"Are you trying to compel me?" Tyrone finally spoke out, unable to resist her beautiful and seductive eyes staring straight at him.

Raine chuckled, "I'm not a vampire, darling. Only vampires can compel humans with their eyes. I believe that witches have those abilities too. Ah… Humans are too weak compared to mutants. They could easily wipe out humanity in one blow if they really wanted to."

Tyrone let out a long sigh and whispered, "Human…So you believe that I'm a human. How can you be so sure that I'm a human? You can't even identify me using your bloody eyes."
