It only took the military a few days to clear out Yang Globals Hospital and ensure that it was safe to operate again. During that downtime, Tyrone and Raine had managed to keep Xander safe and sound in the safety of the shadows. They also assisted the military on the side by giving them anonymous hints and valuable intel to investigate.
As of today, Xander had announced the hospital’s re-opening, followed by an opening ceremony. Everyone was glad, especially the hospital staff and medical team who were once again back in action to give their best in servicing the people. Through it all, Raine didn’t attend the opening ceremony, but she still had her men on standby. She was in the penthouse, resting for a while as she watched the broadcast of it with Tyrone in the living area.
This time around, it was clear that the security in the hospital had become tighter and top-notch. Face-recognition software was installed to capture every person’s face entering the hospital. Security was also heightened, and everyone would have to undergo strict body and luggage checks as they entered, making sure that everyone who would come and go inside the hospital would be properly recognized and recorded.
"Xander quickly wrapped up everything for the reopening of Yang Globals Hospital to the public. I suppose he’ll soon find out why his life is in danger in due time. We have to act fast so that everything would be in place as soon as he requests for a Mirage Trial," Raine mumbled. She then looked at the clock and whispered, "It’s almost time. I’ll have to prepare. I’m sure my uncle will take this opportunity to attack the poor man in the party."
Tyrone only nodded at her words. Yun would take this opportunity to attack since there was a crowd, exactly the perfect timing for him to kill Xander and blame whoever was present to take the fall. Yun had already prepared a scapegoat by connecting everything to Xander’s wife, Yera Han, and her own ordeal. And then, he would absolutely pin it all to Raine at the Mirage Trial in the end.
Standing up, Tyrone got up from the couch to prepare as well. The Yang Globals group had organized a cocktail party in the evening and everyone was invited. It was a formal event organized to celebrate the hospital’s reopening, where many known personalities were invited to perform and grace the occasion. Raine would attend the event, with Tyrone acting as her escort for the night.
As he was changing, Tyrone called Dylan and the rest already in disguise at the premises to check and ensure that the venue was secure enough from suspicious personnel trying to infiltrate the premises.
The two didn’t take long to prepare. Tyrone wore his suit ordered by Raine as he waited in the living room. Soon enough, the latter finally emerged from her room and walked towards where Tyrone was waiting.
"Shall we?" Raine asked.
Tyrone stood up from his seat and turned around to look at her. He stood rooted for a moment as he swallowed in bewilderment. He honestly thought that he just saw a Goddess walking towards him. However, a frown quickly formed on his face as he said, "Isn’t that a little too much to wear?"
Just looking at her, he wanted to wrap Raine up with anything that he could find at that moment. Raine was wearing a sheer sexy white lace evening gown with a long sleeve feather in one shoulder, leaving the other side bare. The slit showing her legs was way too high, and the fitting was so perfect for her curvy body that it was just too much. She had a slender and slim body, but her plump bosoms and firm buttocks made her entire package work. She could make any man or woman drool from her perfection.
"You barely have any clothes on you. Aren’t you uncomfortable?" Tyrone ludicrously asked, almost scolding despite trying his best to sound calm and casual. She was just too damn sexy and gorgeous in her dress that he wouldn’t want any men ogling at her except for him!
’Possessive? What are you, her boyfriend?’ his inner self mocked. He emitted a silent sigh of frustration, knowing that he had no right over her to react like this.
At his outburst, Raine gave him a seductive smile and shamelessly smirked, "Ah, this is more than comfortable for me. I like how the dress fits me perfectly, revealing every alluring asset I have in my body." She then gracefully and sexily walked past Tyrone and naughtily said, "Wipe that drool off your face and let’s go. It’s not fair that you’re the only one who can appreciate my beauty and body, after all. Let others enjoy the sight. Besides, they can just look and drool at me all they want, but they can’t have it anyway."
Tyrone dropped his shoulders as he followed Raine. He no longer knew what to do with her. It wasn’t like he could drag her back in her closet and force her to change into something more conservative. He could admit that he liked how her evening gown’s color and design blended well with his suit, but he still vehemently objected to the obscene way that the style of her gown was revealing her body.
By the time they were at the door, Raine suddenly stopped and said, "Ah, get me my coat, please. I’ll just remove it when we arrive at the venue."
Those words consoled Tyrone as he almost ran back inside Raine’s bedroom to grab her coat.
Raine smiled, watching Tyrone walk back into her bedroom in a hurry. He was wearing a white suit that matched well with her evening gown since it also had a lace and feather touch like what she had requested from her designer. He looked so handsome that she was sure that many women would glue their eyes on him at the party.
Arriving with a coat in hand, Tyrone immediately wrapped her in her white coat as he said, "This is better. I’m sure it’ll be cold inside the venue, so this will keep you warm. This coat looks so gorgeous on you, by the way. Very excellent and classy."
Raine chuckled in jest, "You sound like you don’t want me to remove this coat for the entire night."
"As if you’ll even listen to me if I asked you to do that," Tyrone scoffed.
"I might listen if you can promise me a personal strip dance later," Raine teased.
Tyrone’s face reddened at the challenge, rendering him speechless as Raine chuckled. The sly woman gave him a teasing wink as she proceeded to walk to the elevator.
