Chapter 71: I’ll punish him so hard
The following day, Raine enjoyed the rest of the program prepared for the team building, including the various other side activities laid out for them. All the while, she subtly monitored Xander, making sure that he won’t get himself killed throughout it all.
"She’s like his bodyguard in the shadows," Tyrone murmured as he watched Raine playing with the rest of the employees. He could also see how Raine’s eyes were always trained at Xander at any given moment, sneaking in passing glances whenever she could.
Monitoring her own brand of monitoring, he sighed when Raine met his stare and intentionally winked in his direction. She was so unpredictable. She can switch between cold and hot at the drop of a hat, and he felt like he was about to go crazy because of it. Tyrone sighed as he recalled the phrase, ’There is no rose without its thorns.’ He supposed that Raine was like a rose to him, a beauty with thorns.
Meanwhile, Raine smiled whenever she would meet Tyrone’s gaze from a distance or would occasionally wink at him if she had the chance. As usual, the man was expressionless despite her antics. Nevertheless, she was still in the mood to tease him whenever she could just with her gaze alone.
As the activities continued, the team-building organizer, Sun, eventually prepared the group for a scavenger hunt. He wanted the team to be split into two smaller groups.
"Alright, we want each group to have the same number of men and women," Sun explained.
He then called out the names that would comprise both groups. When all was said and done, Raine and Rui found themselves both in the same group.
Raine rolled her eyes. He was sure that the man would try hard to read her again using his psychiatric techniques.
"Here are the lists of items you should look for," Sun cheerfully explained, handing out the lists written on small index cards. "It also has a separate list of things you have to do. The deadline is at 11:00 AM, just before lunch. By then, everyone should be back here. The first team to accomplish all the tasks wins!"
After a few more minutes of preambles, the scavenger hunt officially began. The two teams split up, scattering all around throughout the resort. The private island they were currently staying on was beautiful, with gorgeous blue waters and nature spots overflowing with greenery. As such, the impromptu tour made Raine truly enjoy the place.
Raine glanced around, smiling as she wished that she could just sit around and relax without bothering about the things around her. Unfortunately, she knew it was impossible.
