Chapter 307: Grandmasters
Going back to their suite, Raine was practically giddy as she made a beeline for one of their room’s numerous compartments. There she plucked out a chess board from among the numerous board games present.
Absently, she wondered if she should change the game into something more interesting like Poker or Scrabble, but chess was the one they already agreed upon, and it’d be in bad faith if she suddenly decided that they should play something else.
Besides, she was already pretty good with chess anyway.
"Shall I set us up by the balcony then?" Raine asked aloud at her husband, who was already busy calling room service for them.
"Go ahead," Nathan nodded. "I’ll just call up some finger foods for us." He then smirked as he joked, "I’ll also get myself some wine and fruit juice for you so that we can play like real professionals."
Letting out a chuckle, Raine made her way to their open-air balcony and picked out a spot for them to play. Dragging a few chairs and tables around, she made sure that they were going to be both well ventilated and underneath the dazzling white moon as they played for keeps.
’I do wonder if he’s actually good though,’ Raine thought to herself as she set up the pieces. ’Maybe he’s hiding some Grandmaster-like skill in that noggin of his...’
"I heard that you know," Nathan called out from within the suite. "And just so you know, I won’t hold back."
Raine giggled as she sat on her chosen seat. Playing with her white pieces, she couldn’t help but smile as Nathan finally graced her with his presence. Carting into what looked to be a mobile bar, her husband poured out a glass of red wine for himself before then pouring out what looked to be a bottle of grape juice for her to drink.
