Chapter 118: Can’t fight fate
"How long do you plan on staying here?" Janus asked as he invited Raine into his office for a coffee. He was honestly annoyed that Tyrone followed Raine like a dog. But then
again, he was not bold enough to shoo the man away in front of Raine.
"A few more days, I guess. I have to make sure that we are ready anytime for war, Janus. You’re the best man I trust for it. You know how I adore your brain for inventing things and formulas for our Clan’s advantage. Those are very important for our fights against mutants..." Raine praised Janus, and she meant every word. Without Janus around, she, her father and their warriors would have difficulty dealing with rogue mutants using their skills alone.
Janus’s face reddened as he gave Raine a bashful smile.
Tyrone wanted to spill the coffee he had just drunk, witnessing how the man blushed. He felt like he was the third wheel in the scene, but there was no way he would excuse himself unless Raine asked him to leave!
"Do you think you can spare some time-" Janus inwardly cursed, unable to continue his words because of how dark Tyrone’s face was at him right now.
’What is wrong with this man!’ he annoyingly thought as he fixed the eyeglasses on his face.
Raine chuckled, "Ah, why don’t you try wearing contact lenses sometimes? You have nice eyes, Janus. They’re so green, like a forest. So you should flaunt them from time to time. But you should also wear eyeglasses every once in a while since you look so good with them."
Tyrone’s nostrils flared without him knowing. He didn’t like how Raine was giving other men compliments in front of him!
