Chapter 87: A Sly Vixen

As Raine expected, Tyrone didn't keep to his bargain in doing the strip tease show that night, saying that he needed more practice to do such a thing. Allegedly, when he was ready, he would just tell her.

Tomorrow came soon enough. Raine wasn't in the mood that morning, so she ignored Tyrone during breakfast, showing him how annoyed she was at him still.

There was only deafening silence inside the car that Tyrone felt uneasy. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to even begin. 

'Ah, why did I even bother to cover her with that coat?' he irritably chided himself. He had simply wanted to protect her, and here she was still hell-bent on teasing him with the strip dance show. Was it some kind of payback since he happened to watch her striptease? He still couldn't believe that both of them were being so childish at that moment, with Raine wanting him to strip while he acted like he was up to the challenge when he was clearly not. To be frank, all he could think about last night were ways to cover her up because of her damn revealing dress!

Eventually, they finally reached the parking lot of the hospital. It was there that Tyrone realized that Raine acting cold towards him was way more frightening than being in an actual physical battle. Without a word, she immediately went out of the car, Tyrone following soon after her.

"They really heightened their security," he whispered to break the silence between them. He was behind Raine as both of them went through the scanning machine before entering the hospital. As expected, she didn't comment on his words, and Tyrone was left massaging the back of his neck in sheer awkwardness. They both headed to their clinic in silence as soon as they passed through more security checks.

Using the silence, Raine checked on her schedule as they walked. She had no appointments for outpatients that day, so she only checked their in-patients in the pediatric ward.

As soon as she was back in her clinic, she looked at Tyrone coldly and asked, "Can we go online now? Can't Mia hack the hospital's new system yet?"

Tyrone shook his head, making Raine curse at the inconvenience. But as she fumed, her face suddenly lit up as she thought of an idea. 

She called Mia and said, "Connect to me the bug I put on Dr. Rui Dee's phone. Try that one and see if we're able to hear any important conversations between him and Xander. I just saw Dr. Dee walking towards the CEO's office a while ago."

Mia immediately did her work on her computer. In just two minutes, she had her report, "Boss, we're still connected loud and clear. Should I patch it to you now? The two are having an actual conversation right now."

Raine grabbed her bluetooth and put it on her ear as Tyrone did the same.

"Alright, connect us now," Raine instructed, and she cringed at the loud feedback of Rui's voice.

"Dr. CEO!!! I really missed you brother!" exclaimed Rui as soon as he entered Xander's office. He hugged the man tightly and even patted his buttocks in jest.

"Stop that, you pervert! Why did you show up only now?" Xander grunted as he abruptly pushed Rui away from him. "Eww! Don't ever do that again!" he complained as he shook the point of contact as if it gave him some kind of skin disease.

Rui burst out in laughter, "What's with you? Don't tell me Yera also hates it whenever you have some skinship with a man?"

Xander rolled his eyes. Rui was always quick in guessing, and the psychologist often teased him right before he even told him the whole story.

"I saw the two of you at the party, so I guess I'm right. You're banned from any skin-to-skin contact. Sorry for not being around. I didn't have much time to approach the two of you since I'm too busy catching and containing a little mouse on the loose!" Rui explained while he comfortably walked to get himself a cup of tea from Xander's receiving table.

"Mouse? Since when did you become a cat?" Xander arched his brow as he asked. He sat in front of Rui and crossed his legs. His dear friend had a lot to report to him.

"Ever since that Candice Yao arrived here! I tell you, that woman is dangerous!" Rui exclaimed. Xander smirked at his tone. He knew his friend far too well.

He nodded as he teased, "Yeah, very dangerous indeed. It looks like you'll become prey to that dangerous woman soon."

Raine and Tyrone exchanged glances, and it was the former who immediately looked away.

Back inside Xander's office, Rui's eyes rounded out as he continued, "She deliberately did it. That pose to be on top of you? She had this hidden agenda that I can't get a hold of yet, but I'm sure you're the target." The psychologist pondered, "Are you sure you got her profile thoroughly checked by your men? I think we're missing something here. Can we ask Keira's husband? I think the military sources are more reliable when it comes to profile checking."

Xander let out a sigh and said, "No! We have to respect the military database. On what grounds then? Tell me, on what grounds can we ask for that special request? For murder? For any crime? You do know that Zach won't release any private information on baseless grounds. He's strict when it comes to that even if it's for family…"

Rui's shoulders dropped. Xander was right. They had nothing against Candice except for the fact that the latter seemed to have some sort of hidden agenda by getting close to Xander. Still…

"Just watch her closely, Rui. If your hunch is telling you that she's up to something, then trust in your better judgment. Still, I really don't feel that she's that harmful in any way."

Having heard enough, Raine stood up and grabbed the paper bag beside her table.

"Those two seem to be enjoying talking behind my back. Maybe I should visit them since they're talking about me," Raine smiled with a sickeningly malicious tone. "It would be fun to give those two mouse slayers some chills! How dare that Rui compares me to a sly mouse!" she said, her nostrils flaring as she walked out of the door.

Tyrone let out a sigh as he was left alone. He was glad that Raine went out for a while. He only hoped that she wouldn't be as cold towards him when she returned. 

"A sly vixen… is best words to describe her."
