Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 355

The next morning, I woke up with renewed motivation thanks to Charles’ words. I got up early and prepared everything well with the target to do well at work today. I’ll get along with Reiner and I’ll find a way to be of use to him no matter what. Charles gave me confidence and I knew that I had to get my act together before I start to lose my confidence once again. He was right, it was too soon for me to give up on anything. Today will be the day that I turn over a new leaf!

I opened the door of my room with a loud and proud bang. So much for my dramatic entrance, the only thing that greeted me outside of my room was the empty and long hallway. Laughing a little at my own silliness, I made my way to the staircase so that I could head to the first floor. When I walked past the living room, Queen called out to me.

“Natalia!”

I turned around when I heard her call my name. Once again, I thought it was weird that Queen was up so early in the morning. I smiled at her and waved my hand. Knowing that I still had some time left before I needed to leave, I walked towards her because it seemed like she had something that she wanted to say to me.

“Good morning,” I greeted her warmly as I sat down on the sofa opposite from her.

“Good morning. You’re up early again today,” Queen said sweetly.

“You’re up early too. Morning yoga?” I asked.

“Not today. What about you? How are things going at work?” She asked and her eyes seemed to sparkle with interest.

Well, it wasn’t going well but…

“I’m trying my best. I need to work on a lot of things to catch up. It’s not easy but I’m sure that I’ll get there eventually,” I replied, trying not to lose my determination.

“Wow! You sound so committed which is great but don’t work too hard,” Queen said.

I was about to excuse myself so that I could go to work but Queen lifted her arm and waved.

“Knight!”

This was the first time that I heard Queen call Reiner by his alias, and it felt quite strange. That’s not the point! Why is she calling him here?!

My heart skipped a beat, and it wasn’t for a good reason. Slowly, I turned around and as expected, Reiner was standing there in the doorway to the living room. He hesitated a little before sighing and making his way over to where we were seated at the sofa.

He looked at Queen and then he glanced over at me before his gaze returned to his mother once again. The look on his face was clearly asking ‘What do you want?’
