Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 332

Sitting alone in the bathtub, feeling the warm water on my skin felt extremely relaxing. Now that I was alone, my thoughts drifted to my home. I wonder how things are back there. Is Zak holding up alright with everything that he’s got planned? Edward and Lucien are probably worried sick and they’re probably giving Zak a hard time. Laura is probably lost and confused about what to do because I’m not there anymore. Maybe she’s thankful now that she doesn’t have to serve the overly picky and bossy Natalia.

I miss home…

Once I got out of the bath, I felt completely refreshed. I slapped my own cheeks lightly to draw focus. Focus, Natalia. Time for you to land yourself a job before you start thinking of anything else! I slipped on a light lavender short night gown that was in the closet. My hair was still damp from the bath although I did dry it a little with a towel. Thinking that I can dry it later, I sat down at the table in front of the laptop and switched it on.

Now, I need to look for the version of my resume that I uploaded online. Maybe I also have a copy in my email somewhere as well. While I was busy finding the latest version of my resume, I heard a few light knocks on the door.

It must be Queen. I wonder what she wanted this late into the night.

“One moment please!” I called out.

Not wanting Queen to wait for too long, I quickly got up from where I was sitting and headed straight for the door. The door unlocked automatically from the inside when I turned on the doorknob and pushed the door open.

To my utmost surprise, the person standing in front of my door wasn’t Queen. Honestly, it was the person that I least expected or wanted to see right now.

“Reiner…” I whispered his name after I had recovered from the initial shock of seeing him standing there in my doorway.

Why is he here?

Before I could ask him that he beat me to it and asked me a question first. How unsightly, he didn’t even offer me a greeting after knocking on my door this late into the night.

“Why are you still here?” he asked, clearly displeased.

I knew that this was coming and had been so careful to avoid him. Seriously, if all he’s going to do is say mean things then don’t blame me for being a bitch.

“I could ask you the same thing. Why are you here?” I snapped back.

“I told you to go home,” Reiner said.

I had begun to lose count of the times that he’s told me that.

“How many times have you told me that?” I asked in annoyance.

“What?” He said confused at my response.

“When are you going to learn that I’m not going to go home no matter how many times that you tell me to,” I replied unfazed.
