Chapter 264: Mess With Me
Meanwhile, as Raine threw herself into a fit of mourning, Lyne made sure to personally see to the fact that she was eating properly. She stood by the sidelines, even if her boss still refused to come out of her room.
"Boss, try this dish that Levi cooked. It’s really good," Lyne respectfully called out as she arranged the meal on the table.
"Lyne, how many days has it been?"
Lyne looked up, Raine flashing her a dead look as she kept her composure. The former had never witnessed their Boss in this kind of mood before, and seeing such a thing scared her to no end. Usually, their Boss was too transparent; what they saw was what they got. But now... none of them could even fathom what was going on inside her head.
"It seems as if I can’t think rationally... I should have seen this coming somehow, but I still don’t know why I’m feeling like this," Raine spoke with a hollow confusion. "He died saving me, and I don’t even know who to point the blame at for this, Lyne. I hate losing my cool like this, but I just want to snap someone’s neck and somehow get better."
Lyne sighed and reported, "The weapon they fired at you was something ancient, as far as we could tell. We’ve gathered enough details about it and we reviewed the footage at the time of the incident. In the end, we found out that Alpha Sasha is responsible for all of this." She then continued her explanation, "Nathan wasn’t aware of it, and neither were his men. Apparently, that Sasha wanted to secure the role of the Queen at the Convel Society, and she saw you as a threat for getting that goal. As such, she wanted to make sure that you’ll be out of her way."
There was a smirk on Raine’s face as she then asked, "Is that what Boris told you?"
Lyne gulped. It was true that she got all of her current information from Boris alone.
"Where is our new King right now?" Raine asked once more, her eyes darting towards the outside scene visible from her balcony.
