Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 307

“I don’t feel any guilt or any sense of responsibility. Everyone has their own role to play, Reiner. You and me, we just played out role. The mission came with instructions and without the identity of the target. If the person paying doesn’t care who would get killed, then that’s none of our concern,” the old man said firmly.

“I guess…” Reiner whispered.

“Why do you think the mission came without a clear identity of the target? Because it doesn’t matter who gets killed. The purpose was to get rid of some secret documents. That’s it. In the end, the client achieved that, and they were happy. Done deal,” the old man said before snapping his fingers.

“I know that,” Reiner replied coldly.

The old man narrowed his eyes at Reiner as if he wasn’t convinced that Reiner understood what he was saying. The man sighed loudly before speaking again.

“What are you going to do? Marry the girl?” the old man asked.

“Of course not,” Reiner replied immediately.

“Poor little girl is going to get her poor little heart broken…” the man teased as he made a small voice.

“You should go back…” Reiner snapped.

“Didn’t I teach you not to half-ass things?” the old man continued with his preaching.

“You should return…” Reiner repeated firmly.

“Go home, Reiner. Take on some jobs and put your old man in a good mood,” the old man suggested.

“You should disappear already, don’t you think? You’ve been out in the open for too long, isn’t it bad for your skin?” Reiner said, clearly annoyed.

“I wasn’t here. You didn’t see me. I don’t exist,” the old man said before smirking.

“Roger that,” Reiner muttered.

…

I waited for Reiner in the mansion. Those two are really taking their time with their talks. It’s been a while since I’ve been waiting and there were still no signs of Reiner. I wondered what they are talking about. I wondered if they’re talking about me. Sitting down on the sofa, I crossed my legs and then uncrossed them. After a while, I crossed them again. What is taking Reiner so long?

When I heard the door open, I jumped up from the sofa immediately and approached the door. As expected, Reiner walked in with an unreadable expression on his face. That only made me more curious about what the two men talked about. I decided to ask him about it although I knew that he probably won’t tell me anything.

“How was your talk with the old man?” I asked before smiling up at him.

“Nothing special. We didn’t talk about anything much,” Reiner replied.

I knew that that wasn’t true. I mean, they did take quite a while.

“How did you two get to know each other?” I asked, curiously.

Reiner stared down at my face, and I knew that I was being too nosy. But I just wanted to know…

“I know him from way back…” Reiner replied without disclosing any key information.

“He seems like a very kind person” I commented.

“Forget that you ever met him. That’s for the best,” Reiner said curtly.

“Why? This is the first time you introduced me to your friend,” I said.
