The Untamed: Game of Hearts

Chapter 32 - Shiniest One



Levi, as usual, could only sigh in frustration as soon as the video call ended. Raine never had him in her heart, yet that didn\'t stop him from trying his luck!

"I told you, being in a one-sided love is the worst feeling ever," Mia nonchalantly commented. She was sitting a little distant from Levi in the living area, watching her favorite drama series while waiting for the information she was still downloading on her laptop.

"Don\'t start with me. It\'s still better to be in love than never experiencing it at all," Levi mumbled dejectedly. "It doesn\'t matter if it\'s reciprocated or not, as long as I can still stay with her."

Everybody around them seemed to know his feelings towards their Boss except for the Boss herself, who never failed to treat him only as a younger brother. But technically, he was actually younger than her since he was only twenty-three years old while their Boss was twenty-eight!

"Well, I\'m just saying… It\'s not too late for you to look around and see that there are many more women you could easily hit on. And most of them would be ready to reciprocate your love," Mia added with a blank expression.

Levi ignored her and stood up, "I\'m going to cook lunch. Check on Aire and tell me if she wants something in particular to eat."

"I\'m sure she will crave meat," Mia responded.

"Then I will prepare steak for her," Levi said as he got up from the couch to walk towards the kitchen.

Mia turned off the television and stretched her arms, "Ah, I want to use the jacuzzi…"

In every one of their Boss\'s hide-outs, in all the places and countries, they had the same style and were always complete with every modern facility and amenities. So whoever stayed there would surely never get bored.

The hideouts were always built underground, usually under different commercial establishments like twenty-four hour minimarts, pharmacies, and even scary places like cemeteries were not spared in making the hideouts for security reasons.

She watched Levi walk inside the kitchen and silently sighed when Levi was no longer in sight.

"How come he\'s so clueless…" Mia mumbled with a twitch in her mouth. She let out another sigh before starting her work on her computer, hacking the government website and editing some files to register Aire Yue as Raine Yue\'s adopted daughter.

"Damn, the boss carrying a baby at the age of 18," Mia mumbled amusingly but felt that if she looked at the Boss and Aire together closely, there actually were similarities between them. Sometimes, they did look closely related. If they were told that they were mother and daughter, no one would question their blood connection merely by their looks, especially the natural auburn-colored hair that they both had.

Yet, Levi was right. They might face the problem later once King Marcus woke up and found out about this. They would receive severe punishment for harboring a mutant.

"Harboring a mutant? Why does that sound familiar…" Mia\'s eyes widened as she recalled how she accidentally heard similar words from her parents.

There was an incident in the past about the previous King harboring monsters. She wondered if she had heard right at that time though. Mia didn\'t know why, but she was suddenly intrigued and started searching for more details about it.

Meanwhile, a few hours passed by quickly as Raine was still busy finishing her work at the Yue group, ensuring she would not leave any important matters pending while she was away. She called out to employees she trusted one by one and handed over important things to them while she was away.

Despite how busy she was, she could still check on Tyrone through the camera in their area every once in a while. She simply wanted to see what he was doing while he was not around her.

So far, he was busy studying the extensive information Lyne provided her, while he asked the latter questions every so often to clarify things involving her and how he could serve her effectively and efficiently.

"He\'s acting as if he had planned to stay by my side for quite a long time. Funny!!" Raine whispered with an inspired smile.

She finally turned off her monitor and buried herself back in the papers on her table. She was analyzing a new project suggested by the operations team when her intercom rang.

"Boss, the Deputy Chairman is here and he wants to talk to you," Lyne informed from another line.

"Let him in, Lyne…"

Yun gave Tyrone a meaningful look, and the latter nodded before Yun entered Raine\'s office.

Lyne saw the subtle exchange and mused, \'The Boss is right.\'

Tyrone was indeed a spy planted by Yun. The two men obviously exchanged a signal with each other. She could only hope that things would go according to their Boss\'s plan till the end.

Tyrone\'s eyes and hers met. Tyrone gave her a polite look with a half-smile, so Lyne smiled back. In fairness, the man was really handsome, such that even celebrities could not compare to him. He and the Boss definitely looked so good together. A match made in heaven, considering their physical appearance.

Lyne shook her head to clear the sudden unnecessary thoughts and to focus on concentrating on her work. She knew there was nothing to worry about since their Boss was aware of his intentions. She knew what she was doing. But still, there was no harm in her, Levi, and Mia taking extra precautions on behalf of their Boss.

Raine, on the other hand, greeted her uncle with her usual smile as soon as he entered her office.

"What is it, uncle? Did you perhaps change your mind about your new bodyguard that you instantly thought of coming over to me?" she asked with a smirk as she stood up from her chair. Her uncle was sitting comfortably on the couch, so she walked towards him and sat down on the opposite couch to face him.

Raine pressed the intercom on her side and called for Lyne, "Can you please prepare Uncle some coffee? His usual thing."

Yun had a blank expression as he said, "It seems you are pretty fond of Tyrone, something that rarely happens. Isn\'t it strange you selected him after all those profiles of the best bodyguards I\'ve shown you? Marcus would do the same if he was here. After all, you\'re his favorite and he would definitely put an army of bodyguards around you who would be willing to be your shield in times of danger."

"Right. I selected him because this new bodyguard of yours is exceptionally handsome compared to the ones you showed me earlier. They look all boring. If I must have a shield, then I would rather get the shiniest one. Don\'t you agree?"

Yun scoffed as he shook his head. His face suddenly became serious.

"But can I get Tyrone back whenever I want?" Yun asked. He wanted to know how Raine would react to this since he suspected her actions.. He feared that his plan would backfire on him if he wasn\'t careful enough.
