Chapter 78: I don’t want a tragic ending
They were a four-hour drive away from reaching the Capital City. As such, Raine and Tyrone had a stopover midway to grab some lunch. Stopping over a what seemed to be an open restaurant, Raine let Tyrone order her meals. She wasn’t picky with what she ate anyway.
"This is nice," Raine sighed in relaxation as she at the spectacular mountain view. The sun was up, and the luscious green trees seemed to glimmer with the sun’s rays. They were simply too pleasing in the eyes.
"Yeah, it’s beautiful," Tyrone whispered, looking moreso at Raine rather than the view.
Raine could see his wooing tactics from the corner of her eyes as she mumbled, "That’s a cliche thing to say and do; looking at me while saying that I’m beautiful. At least use some new lines on me, please."
Tyrone chuckled, "Does it matter if the words are overused? I think what matters is whether or not the words are genuine. I just stated the obvious that you’re beautiful. I even bet that no one will disagree with me."
"Then I suppose that I’m a beautiful disaster. I bet no one will disagree on that too," Raine giggled.
"I absolutely agree. It’s nice to know that you enjoyed the entire retreat, engaging with the other employees and having fun instead of straight-up killing Xander Yang," Tyrone commented.
"Yeah, but this action will cost me a lot. We have to ensure his safety since my uncle will do everything in his power to wipe him out," Raine dribbled her fingers on the table as she spoke. "I’ve decided to remain neutral so that my uncle would keep on wracking his brain thinking about what’s really going on inside my head. Whether I’m planning on killing Xander or not, I want him to get frustrated. I want to play a guessing game with him," she grinned, acting as if everything was just a simple game to her.
Tyrone breathed out a long sigh as he stared at the woman in front of him. He was worried about how things would eventually end up. He only hoped that he could protect Raine for as long as he could.
