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."
