Chapter 168: Betrayal
After yet another session of passionate lovemaking, Raine and Tyrone finally composed themselves and soon joined Aire inside the tent. They slept on each of Aire’s sides in a way that she would be in between the two of them. Raine yawned as she closed her eyes. She felt so tired that the moment she laid her back on the tent, she quickly dozed off to sleep.
Time ticked on. And as soon as Tyrone was sure that Raine was already asleep, he grabbed his personal mobile phone and went out. He walked further, having enough distance from the tent not to be heard before making a call.
It was only just a ring when Kiran picked it up. His dear friend was obviously waiting for his call.
"So, the prodigal friend is still alive? Tell me... How come you’ve been avoiding all my calls and ignoring all my messages?" Kiran barked as soon as he answered his phone. "Damn! How could you be so cruel?!"
Tyrone chuckled and scoffed, "You’re even more possessive than my woman! How is it that you’re clingier than her?"
"OMG! You finally got laid? Who is it? Ah... I’m not so sure if I can even call her lucky or what-"
"Stop talking nonsense, Kiran. I need to talk to the Chairman. Tell him to answer my calls and messages, or else I’ll barge into his den unannounced," Tyrone commanded. "Trust me. He won’t like me invading his privacy..."
Kiran massaged his temples, "Ah, but his temper right now is a bit... Fine. I’ll tell him that." Then sighed, "Geez, you two... Could you two just reconcile and talk with each other already? I’m not your referee, alright. I hate being the middleman between you two."
Tyrone chuckled, "Well, he won’t understand my sentiments since he’s cold-blooded... He already made up his mind towards his goal, and nothing could ever stop him from changing it now."
