Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 358

Boldly, I dragged a chair over and sat down at the desk opposite him. He glanced up from the papers that he was reading to take a look at me. Without saying a word, his gaze returned to the papers in front of him. I considered the fact that he hasn’t chased me out of his room a big leap of improvement. My curiosity started taking over and I found myself leaning forward across the desk to get a look at the papers that were in front of him.

They looked like stats and data on something that I didn’t quite understand. The report on the desk next to his hand had photos of people on it next to table filled with text in various fields. It looked like information and profiles of people. Apart from that, I couldn’t make out anything at all and I still had no idea what Reiner was working so hard at.

“Knight…what are you reading?” I asked softly.

He didn’t reply and as time went by, I figured that he probably didn’t want me to disturb him. However, there were so many reports that I couldn’t imaging Reiner going through all of it by himself. If only he would tell me what he was trying to do or what he was looking for then perhaps I could help him, and we’ll get it done faster if we worked together.

“What are you trying to figure out?” I asked.

To my surprise, this time I got an answer.

“How to save lives…” Reiner muttered without looking at me.

How to save lives? What does he mean by that? Will reading these papers somehow help save lives?

“What do you mean by that?” I asked with interest.

“You tell me. If you can figure something out, I’ll let you help out with my work,” Reiner said as he placed a pile of documents on the table in front of me.

My eyes widened at his sudden change in attitude before falling on the large pile of paper in front of me. How to save lives? If there are clues somewhere in these reports, then I’ll be sure to find it. Just you wait and see…

Reiner and I focused on the documents in front of us as we silently read through. The documents that he handed me were stats and reports on different people. After reading through a few, I began to get the picture of what was going on from the data. Basically, the death rate of agents that were sent out on mission have risen over time. That meant that more people died and were dying. Of course, I knew that that wasn’t good.
