Chapter 87: A Sly Vixen
As Raine expected, Tyrone didn’t keep to his bargain in doing the strip tease show that night, saying that he needed more practice to do such a thing. Allegedly, when he was ready, he would just tell her.
Tomorrow came soon enough. Raine wasn’t in the mood that morning, so she ignored Tyrone during breakfast, showing him how annoyed she was at him still.
There was only deafening silence inside the car that Tyrone felt uneasy. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to even begin.
’Ah, why did I even bother to cover her with that coat?’ he irritably chided himself. He had simply wanted to protect her, and here she was still hell-bent on teasing him with the strip dance show. Was it some kind of payback since he happened to watch her striptease? He still couldn’t believe that both of them were being so childish at that moment, with Raine wanting him to strip while he acted like he was up to the challenge when he was clearly not. To be frank, all he could think about last night were ways to cover her up because of her damn revealing dress!
Eventually, they finally reached the parking lot of the hospital. It was there that Tyrone realized that Raine acting cold towards him was way more frightening than being in an actual physical battle. Without a word, she immediately went out of the car, Tyrone following soon after her.
"They really heightened their security," he whispered to break the silence between them. He was behind Raine as both of them went through the scanning machine before entering the hospital. As expected, she didn’t comment on his words, and Tyrone was left massaging the back of his neck in sheer awkwardness. They both headed to their clinic in silence as soon as they passed through more security checks.
Using the silence, Raine checked on her schedule as they walked. She had no appointments for outpatients that day, so she only checked their in-patients in the pediatric ward.
As soon as she was back in her clinic, she looked at Tyrone coldly and asked, "Can we go online now? Can’t Mia hack the hospital’s new system yet?"
Tyrone shook his head, making Raine curse at the inconvenience. But as she fumed, her face suddenly lit up as she thought of an idea.
