Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 345

**A week later**

Despite my big talks and dreams of moving out, I’m still stuck at the mansion with no solid idea of where to actually rent a place. At least, I’ve completed signing the job contract and the first day of work is already tomorrow. A week flew by in a blink of an eye and suddenly it seemed like my real adult life is finally going to start. I’ve always dreamt about my first day of work as a fulltime employee and I had to say that the dream didn’t quite include working on a private island at an agency dealing with mercenary services.

Well, not everybody gets their dream job, right?

The truth was I looked forward to starting work tomorrow and I was so excited. The other person who was so excited for me was Queen. She was so excited that she made me go around shopping with her for the past three days. Queen helped me pick out my work clothes and ended up paying for everything. Of course, I promised to pay her back when I got my first paycheck.

“You need to get your priorities right, honey. You can pay me back whenever; your first paycheck is supposed to be special. So, save it or use it for something that you really need…or want,” Queen said generously.

“I think we ended up buying too many clothes…” I mumbled as I eyed the multiple shopping bags on the floor.

“Just blame it on me and my wrong ways. So, yea, you don’t even need to pay me back,” Queen said with a laugh.

It was clear that she didn’t regret a thing that she did. Queen seemed to live a good and happy life. Surprisingly, King wasn’t around much, and I surmised that that was probably because he was busy with work at his company.

“Does King work at the company? He’s hardly at the mansion, right?” I asked with interest.

“Yes, he does. There’s so much going on there and very few people to help him. He comes back late and leaves early in the morning. You were wondering why you haven’t seen much of him, right?” Queen replied like it was just the usual.

“Right, I see…” I murmured.

I wondered if Reiner would be equally busy when he took over. Since that encounter last week, I haven’t seen Reiner either.

That night I went to bed early because I had to get up extra early for orientation day. Although I spent the entire night trying, I couldn’t get a wink of sleep. I woke up with dark bags under my eyes. One look in the mirror and I was convinced that the day would end in disaster. Thankfully, I had the right make up to save the day.
