Chapter 317: Playing a Villainess
Raine continued with her teasing... "Why, I remember back there at Yang Globals, when Dr. Xander was my target, you always gulped and be out of breath whenever I teased you... Didn’t you really like me back then, Dr. Meddler?" she giggled.
"But I guess you’ve changed now... Rather, you’ve changed ever since Cali came into your life... A few men like you, it seems, are rather loyal once they find the love of their life. I mean, look at how you’re all red with embarrassment right now. You even look annoyed by my proposal, don’t you, darling Meddler?"
Relishing his reactions, Raine laughed out loud before asking the nearest server for water. She was amused to watch Rui’s tangled expressions. He was obviously trying to evade the possibility of offending her, or else he’d end up at a great disadvantage in their current conversation. He needed her for his little act for his wife, after all.
Once her glass of water came, Raine took a sip before getting into a bit of her serious mode. Still, her tone still had a dash of teasing on them as she spoke. "How about this, since I owe you one for saving me back then, I’ll help you out this one time," she proposed. "But everything will go according to my wishes, okay? Just go ahead and dance to my rhythm... Dr. Meddler."
Saying her piece, she had a lopsided grin plastered over her face as she waited for his answer.
"Do I even have a choice?" Rui wrily replied as he shook his head. He then asked, "By the way, since when did you become a Professor?"
"Since yesterday, Doc," Raine vaguely chuckled. "Anyway, ask one more question about that and you’re not going to like my answer. Go home. Cali’s alone, and you better watch over her more carefully..."
"I know," Rui murmured. "Thank you for this..."
"Thank me later once you’ve succeeded in your plans," Raine scoffed. "I won’t be staying here for very long, but I’ll try my best to help you get your wife back while I’m still here... Now go already before I change my mind."
