Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 390

“That’s something that you can help me study and while you’re doing that, I’m going to reach out to some experts in this field to ask for their advice. Training courses need to be properly designed. We have money so we can invest in this,” Reiner said confidently.

“Ok. Let’s do that. I’ll help you look into what team trainings we have now,” I agreed readily.

“Don’t wander around the training grounds or facilities on your own. If you want to go, let me know and I’ll come with you,” Reiner ordered seriously.

“Ok. Sure, I’ll let you know…” I promised.

Just like that we both focused our efforts on working together to crack the problem in front of us. Despite the unfavorable development that I witnessed between Reiner and his fiancée and my confused involvement with Charles, our work wasn’t affected. Thankfully so.

Reiner seemed more open to me at work, and he turned out to be a very supportive boss. How he worked with me was very different from the dynamic that I had working with Edward. Edward was clearly my boss with everything that he said and did. He was outstandingly smart, efficient, and extremely strict at times. On the other hand, when I worked with Reiner, it felt like I was working with a friend more than my boss. We tended to work together and discuss things as we go. It reminded me of my time working on my university projects with the other students.

At the end of the day, I received a call from the secretarial department regarding a meeting for Reiner to meet with one of the experts that he had requested for. The meeting was scheduled for next week.

“It might be challenging for Knight to make it on time on that day…” I voiced my concern as I stared at his very packed schedule on that day.

“I know but this happens to be the only time that the expert is free. This expert is also the number one on Knight’s list. What should we do?” the woman on the other end of the line asked.

The problem was that the only date and time that the expert was available was right after Reiner’s other meeting. It was back-to-back, which meant that Reiner would definitely run slightly late to the meeting. Normally it wouldn’t be a big deal, but Reiner’s earlier meeting wasn’t in this building. It was in another place in the business district.

“Umm…normally, what are the options in this type of situation?” I asked the secretary who I assumed was more senior and experienced than I am.

“Well, if this is the only time slot then, you’ll have to come up with something to entertain the guest until your boss gets back,” the woman replied without a second thought.

“Umm…is it possible to push the meeting back by ten minutes so they can both start on time?” I asked.

“I don’t think so. It’ll just be weird…” the woman replied firmly.

“Ok…I’ll figure something out…” I replied, unable to find another way out.

“Great then. I’ll take it that it’s confirmed. Thanks for this, Natalia,” the woman thanked me and hung up.

How do old men or women like to be entertained? This person was an expert, so I assumed that he or she is older. Should I practice making some tea? Should I buy some cookies or some healthy snacks?
