Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 396

The other staff only nodded, and I wasn’t sure whether they didn’t want to speak up or were just too tired to do so.

“I get it. I’ll try to hire more hot girls,” Jamie said with a laugh.

He was clearly enjoying himself.

“I wouldn’t mind if you hired some buff guys who could carry multiple trays of food at the same time,” I suggested.

Kat burst out laughing at my straightforward suggestion.

“I wouldn’t mind that. We need more hot male colleagues,” Kat agreed a small laugh.

While Kat was just teasing and enjoying herself, I was being serious.

“Ok…Ok. I’ll look into that, and I’ll let you guys know. I’ll hire two or three more people and see how it goes,” Jamie quickly agreed before the conversation would get out of hand.

“Thank you, Jamie,” I said with a sweet smile.

With how well his business was doing, I was sure that he could afford two to three more headcount to walk the floor.

My body was sweaty from working so hard that busy night that I decided to change into more relaxing clothes before I went home. I knew that Charles was waiting, so I rushed through everything so that he wouldn’t have to wait for too long.

“How are you going back?” Kat asked curiously.

I knew that she suspected that Charles would be driving me back.

“Charles is waiting for me out front. He’s driving me back. Do you need a ride too?” I asked in case she needed one.

I knew the cat lived nearby, but I was sure that Charles wouldn’t mind dropping her off.

“I don’t need one. Enjoy your time,” Kat said enthusiastically.

I think she was looking forward to my ride with Charles more than I was looking forward to it myself. After changing and packing everything away in my bag, I waved to everyone and said my goodbyes for the night. Honestly, I couldn’t wait to get back home to get some shut eye. Sleep was high on my priority list right now.

When I open the door and walked out of the bar, Charles was there waiting for me, just like he had promised. I felt a little guilty for taking up on his generosity. He was such an honest man, but honestly, I couldn’t feel the same way that he felt. I felt guilty, but it seemed like Charles was willing to take care of me even though he sort of knew that I didn’t return his feelings. Perhaps he thought that my feelings could change. I didn’t blame him for being hopeful because I knew very well that human emotions could change. My feelings are no different, and perhaps my feelings would change too one day.

“Did you wait long? Sorry, I was sweaty so…I decided to change,” I said apologetically.
