Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 387

Monday arrived and I was determined to make it to work on time despite the heavy Monday morning traffic in the business district. I would be lying if I said that I didn’t feel anxious about going to work today. Honestly, I didn’t know what kind of face to make when I met Reiner after seeing him and his fiancée together on that day. I was spying on them, and I was paying the price for that dishonest act now.

I got into the elevator, and I was on my way up to his office. There was no point running away from it. Unless I give up this job entirely, he’s going to remain as my boss and I’m still going to be his secretary. Reiner called me countless times yesterday. Of course, I didn’t answer any of his calls. The reason was obvious, I didn’t know what to say to him and I wasn’t exactly in the mood to have a pleasant conversation with him either. I didn’t even wonder why he was calling me. He probably found out that I had moved out of his mansion, and he was probably glad about it.

The elevator opened and I sighed loudly before making my way towards his office. I should have known since he announced his engagement to Rachael that sooner or later, she was going to come around to visit him at his place. Why would he want me there since I’m just going to get in their way?

No man would want to be caught in an awkward situation of having to explain to his fiancée why his house was hosting a female guest. I bet that just like I didn’t know how to explain our relationship, Reiner probably had the same issue of explaining it to other people. The simplest relationship that would be understandable by society right now is that I’m his secretary and he is my boss. Period.

When I walked into the office, I was surprised to see Reiner leaning on my desk as if he had been waiting for me. He turned to look at me when I entered the room.

“Good morning, Natalia,” he greeted me casually.

“Good morning, Knight. Can I help you with something?” I said before smiling politely at him.

“No,” he replied.

“Umm…the schedule for the agent interviews is here. The secretarial department should have inputted it in your calendar as well so you can see them there. There are three interviews today. Each are scheduled for 30 minutes but if that’s not enough you’re more than welcomed to go over time. The first interview starts at 1:30PM,” I informed him with a smile.

“Thank you. Do you want to sit in as well?” he asked.

“May I?” I asked.

“Of course, you may,” Reiner replied.
