The Untamed: Game of Hearts

Lyne, Levi, and Mia were all dying to find out more, so they stared at Raine, waiting for her to start the story.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? This isn't the time for me to tell you what happened. For now, Levi and Mia should concentrate well on Aire." Raine then turned to Lyne, "As for you, Lyne, you will stay here to monitor the company while I'm away. Make sure Uncle Yun will not make us go bankrupt…"

"Wait, Boss. Are you telling us that you will go to country D alone? Are you not going to bring at least one of us?" Levi asked, puzzled. 

"Precisely. I have a new bodyguard to look after me so you guys should focus on the most important matters at hand right now. Remember that you three are the only ones I trust, especially regarding such important matters. …"

"But babysitting a werewolf is not that important, Boss! It can wait!" Levi pursued.

Raine raised her brows as she scoffed, "Are you saying that my daughter is not important, Levi? Should I remind you that Father might wake up anytime soon? If he finds out about Aire, then we're all dead meat. So taking care and giving her the proper training is the top priority!"

Levi opened his mouth to say more, but Raine glared at him so he ended up closing his mouth, taking a gulp that he almost choked on his own saliva.

Raine soon ended the call after discussing a few more important matters to the three. She then looked at her wristwatch and whispered, "Ah, time flies so fast. I have to leave now

. Lyne, please take good care of the situation here while I'm away."

"Noted, Boss," Lyne answered with a reassuring smile. 

Raine stood up and left her office. Tyrone immediately followed her from behind, but Raine halted in her tracks and said with her brows lifted, "Why are you walking behind me? Will you be able to block my attackers from the front if you walk behind me?"

Tyrone shook his head and walked past Raine, covering her front.

"If you walk like that, then how can you be so sure that no one from behind will suddenly pull or attack me?" Raine snorted before pulling Tyrone's shirt so they could walk side by side,  together, at the same pace. "You must walk with me like this in order to protect me properly," Raine lectured. 

Tyrone could barely hide the smile on his face because of how adorable Raine looked at that moment.

'Stop that and focus on your goal!' Tyrone's inner self contorted. He immediately returned to his stoic, blank expression.

Raine had a naughty smile on her face as they walked together. She didn't know what came to her that she even held Tyrone's hand probably because she felt possessive whenever she noticed a woman's eyes prying on Tyrone as they walked.

"What are you doing?" Tyrone whispered. He tried to pull his hand off from her, but Raine only tightened her grip even more, securely clasping all her fingers with his.

"Holding your hand? Isn't it obvious?"

"I know, but why are you holding it?" Tyrone mumbled, confused. He didn't know how to react. A part of him was in protest, but the majority of him liked it.

Raine rolled her eyes and replied, "Because I feel more secure this way?"

Tyrone did not argue with her. Somehow, he got used to her boldness in the short time of being with her. He had to please her with everything if he wanted to gain her trust and complete what he needed to do.

They reached the car with Raine still holding his hand. He was about to go to the backseat to open the door but Raine instructed, "I will sit in front, with you."

Tyrone dropped his shoulders, followed by a loud exhale. Raine chuckled when she saw his reaction before she asked, "What are you waiting for?"

As Tyrone opened the door, Raine didn't let go of his hand, even though she entered and sat inside.

"The seatbelt, please," Raine continued. Only then did she let his hand go.

Tyrone still didn't say a word when he bent down towards her to pull her seatbelt. Raine didn't waste a moment's time by staring closely into his face. She was trying to picture the boy she met when she last saw him that night, but it was only the eyes that she could clearly remember. Tyrone's eyes…

"Nathaniel," she whispered. And when she did, Tyrone halted. He turned his head to stare at Raine who didn't bat an eye when she stared back at him.

"Did you just call me by another man's name?!" He furrowed his brows in disbelief.

Raine smiled at him, "Did I? Probably because you two have the same eyes that I suddenly thought that he's you."

"I'm not him, so please address me properly…" Tyrone scolded.

Raine lifted her eyebrows, but she didn't bother to comment. She wondered if she was mistaken about it because she saw something in Tyrone's eyes when she said Nathaniel's name. Grief, pain, and sorrow… Yet, it was merely a flash that quickly passed his eyes.

"Why do you always frown whenever I'm near? It's like I smell bad in that expression… Or could it be disgust?" Raine couldn't help but voice out. Tyrone always had the same frown whenever they were this close to each other. Always those lines on his forehead.

Instead of answering her, Tyrone ignored her. Raine only heard the clicking sound of her seatbelt. 

"It's done, Boss," Tyrone said as he quickly moved away from her. Raine watched him walk to the other side of the car and go inside to drive.

"Or is that your way of controlling yourself before a beautiful woman?" Raine teased as Tyrone stepped on the gas to drive.

"You're so ahead of yourself… B.O.S.S." Tyrone scoffed, which caused Raine to chuckle.

"I am not… I'm just stating a fact since I clearly smell good and beautiful for you to frown like that," Raine commented with a shameless grin. Tyrone remained silent so Raine continued, "I'll take your silence as a yes then. Anyway, I'll take a quick nap. So just wake me up when we arrive at the airport."

"Noted, Boss," Tyrone answered, followed by a relieved sigh.. Less talk, less mistakes.
