Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 369

“Did you drive here?” Kat asked.

“Not today…” I replied.

“It’s late. Why don’t you sleep over at my place? It’s close by…” Kat offered kindly.

“Thanks, but I’d rather head back. I have to work tomorrow so…” I said before trailing off with a ‘you know’ look.

“Oh, right. Your day job and all,” Kat murmured in understanding.

I gave her a tired smile because that was all that I could manage at that moment.

“Let’s go…” I told her as I got up from my chair.

It was late but since many people got off work at this time in the entertainment district there were many cabs running at this hour. Getting a ride back to the mansion should be a breeze. It might be a little expensive though, but that was fine by me.

I stretched my arms up high above my head as I walked out of the bar with Kat at my side. The silhouette of a very tall man standing right outside the bar’s entrance stopped me in my tracks.

“Who’s this?” Kat asked as she looked the man up and down with sparkling eyes.

Why is he here? How did he find me here?

“Knight…why are you here?” I asked with a mix of confusion and disbelief.

Was Reiner really here? Why?

Kat elbowed me before she leaned in to whisper in my ear.

“Who is he? Do you know him? He’s so hot and so tall…” she whispered, speaking very fast.

“He’s…Knight…” I replied with Reiner’s codename.

“Huh? First you have prince charming and now you have a Knight too?” Kat teased before laughing.

“It’s not like that. He’s…umm…he’s my boss…” I tried to explain.

“Your boss?” Kat said, clearly shocked.

Ok, Reiner doesn’t look anything like Jamie. Jamie is also my boss, so I didn’t blame Kat for her confusion. She probably didn’t expect my boss to be so young and so hot.

“He’s my boss from my daytime job…” I quickly clarified.

“Oh…I see…wow…” Kat said as her eyes returned to Reiner.

“Hi, my name is Kat and I work here with Natalia. It’s nice to meet you,” Kat said flirtingly as she smiled up at Reiner.

“I’m Knight. Thank you for taking care of Natalia,” Reiner replied politely.

“Sure thing…” Kat said cheerfully.
