Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 333

With Queen’s help, I managed to hand in a few job applications over the next two days of my stay at the mansion. During that time, I kept to my room most of the time. It was so boring, but it gave me a good chance to focus on preparing for my job interview that was schedule to take place soon. Thankfully, HR found my experience and educational background a good match with what they were looking for. After giving me a call for the preliminary screening, they invited me for a formal interview in a few days.

Luckily, a manager at the company was looking for a secretary. With this perfect timing, I was scheduled to do an interview for the job. It was such good news that I had to tell Queen about it right away. During the few days that I had free, I thought that it might be a good idea to find some kind of backup plan in case I didn’t get the job.

“Sure, I can lend you a car but where do you want to go?” Queen asked with concern after I had asked to borrow a car.

“I have a job interview coming up in a few days but in case I don’t get the job offer, I was thinking that I should go look for some backup options,” I replied honestly.

“That’s not a bad idea but where are you headed?” Queen asked.

“The entertainment district. I can wait tables perfectly fine. My legs are not as long as yours, but do you think Jamie might consider hiring me?” I asked with a laugh.

“You’re really one hell of a fighter. Good luck. Here’s the car key. Let me walk you to the car. Sorry, I can’t go there with you today,” Queen said as she got up from her seat.

…

I arrived at the entertainment district in the afternoon. It was before the usual opening time for the bars and the whole street was quieter than it was that night when I was there. As expected, business really starts when the sun is about to set and not anytime before. I wondered if Jamie was in and if he had some time to talk to me.

If I remembered correctly, Jamie’s bar is this way. Feeling proud of myself for finding Jamie’s bar without getting lost, I popped into the place. There was a guy wiping the table in the middle of the place and I approached him to ask if Jamie was in.

“Jamie? He’s in the back. You want a word with him?” the asked after pausing his work.

“Yes, if that’s possible…” I replied with a friendly smile.

“Oh, sure. Wait a bit, I’ll go get him for you,” he said before heading off.

“Thank you very much,” I called after him.

After a short while of waiting, the man emerged with Jamie from the back of the bar. Jamie’s eyes widened at me in recognition before he flashed me a smile. He approached me and greeted me warmly.

“Welcome back, Natalia! I didn’t think you’ll drop by so soon,” Jamie said with a laugh.

“Hi, Jamie. Sorry to drop by when you’re not open for the day yet,” I said apologetically.

“No problem at all. Is there anything that I can help you with?” Jamie asked.

“The truth is…I was wondering if you can hire me to work here,” I said hopefully.

Jamie was thoughtful for a moment before he smiled at me and nodded.
