Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 348

As these thoughts ran through my head, his piercing blue eyes continued to stare at me from where he was seated behind the table.

“Maybe this is some kind of mistake…” I mumbled.

“I wish that it was too because as far as I’m concerned, you should be heading back home. Isn’t that right, Natalia?” Reiner said with a displeased smirk.

I narrowed my eyes at him to show my own displeasure. Who would have thought that I would end up with Reiner as my boss of all people?!

There were just too many issues related to this problem that I didn’t know where to start. Firstly, he used to be my butler. Secondly, because he used to be my butler, I knew that there was nothing that I could do that he couldn’t. He probably did everything better than I could ever do them. Last but definitely not least, he didn’t want me here. At all.

“I know that you don’t want me here so…maybe you can request for the secretarial department to swap me with another secretary…” I suggested in a small voice.

Reiner sighed softly before he slowly got up from his seat. Walking around the table, he slowly approached me until he was standing right in front of me. He looked down at me and I looked up directly into his blue eyes. It’s been a while since I’ve been this close and alone with him. I wouldn’t say that I was scared or intimidated, it just felt slightly strange.

Slowly, Reiner lifted his hand up towards my face. My body froze in place as my eyes glanced down just as his fingertips removed a strand of my hair away from my face.

“If you can’t work for me, why don’t you just quit this job and go home just like I’ve always told you to?” Reiner said softly yet sternly.

Without thinking, my hand automatically moved and smacked his hand away from my face. I glared at him as I gritted my teeth together in anger. Did he just tell me to quit my job? It’s my first day here on the job, how dare he tell me to quit?!

“I am not going to quit my job. Even if I do, it won’t be because of you…” I said determinedly.

“I see. Well then, I look forward to working with you, my new secretary,” Reiner replied with a smile.

He’s definitely looking down on me and it’s not simply because he is much taller. He’s looking down on me and my skills. It’s not just my imagination, he’s smirking at me because he thinks that I can’t do my job right. I’m going to prove him wrong even if it costs me my life!

“I’m going to succeed at this job. Just you wait and see!” I declared loud and clear as I glared up into his freaking beautiful blue eyes.

“Don’t be so full of yourself. I bet you can’t even make a cup of decent coffee for the guest,” Reiner scoffed at me.

“Even I can do that!” I snapped.

Even if my coffee won’t ever taste as good as the ones that he can make…but still…
