Chapter 58: Retreat
The tour guide told them where they were heading as soon as the shuttle bus took to the road.
"The Evol Private Island will allow you and your team to experience a simpler life. There won’t be any advanced technology to distract you from focusing on each other and connecting," the tour guide rambled on with practiced cadence. "You will find an abundance of nature along with shared spaces that you could explore together. The Evol Resorts offer a variety of activities that you could use to integrate into your team’s retreat objectives."
Raine could hear her fellow employees cheering with excitement as a video then started to play on the screen. But while they were all busy watching the video, her mind eventually wandered on to something else entirely. She honestly wished that Tyrone was with her, sitting beside her right now just so she could rest in his arms and feel his warmth during the ride.
’Ah, why bother traveling with the rest when I could’ve just traveled with him directly?" she wondered regrettably. It was the obvious choice, after all. Then again, she still wanted to give Tyrone a dose of his own medicine for always running away from her when it came to intimacy.
"Free from everyday pressures and distractions, your team can focus on the task at hand," the tour guide beamed as she ended her introduction.
Raine shook her head at the woman’s words. Even the tour guide was reminding her to focus on the task at hand instead of thinking about Tyrone!
Before she knew it, the shuttle bus had to do a stopover for lunch. Raine immediately looked for Xander to bother the man for lunch, but Rui had already stood in front of her with an offer.
"Let’s go and eat lunch together. Do try not to disturb those who are already peacefully resting."
Raine raised her eyebrows towards him. Without arguing, she walked out with him from the bus along with the others. At that, she immediately knew that Rui was standing guard for her. He had never left her side ever since. He even ordered food for her just so they could eat at the same table.
