Forbidden Heat R18 Chapter 351-355

Chapter 351: Reiner – Mastermind
When I lifted my head up from the table my headache had subsided and although nothing had changed about the situation, I felt better. That probably meant that I was now more mentally ready to accept it all. I sighed and leaned back on the chair. This chair felt comfortable; this wasn’t bad.

I scrunched up my face when I realized that Queen must have known something about this all along. I mean, there’s no way that she wouldn’t know Reiner’s code name. He’s her only son! I wondered if she planned all this and hoped that she didn’t. I prayed that this was all just a weird twist of fate or an unfortunate coincidence; however, deep down I knew that that probably wasn’t the case. This whole thing was orchestrated by the Queen…

I’m going to have a talk with her when I get back to mansion. It wasn’t like I could call her out on it and blame her directly. I’ve already declared that I will do well in this job right in front of Reiner too, so I couldn’t ask her to pull some strings to have my manager assignment switched. All in all, I’ll just be complaining for the sake of complaining. That’s all.

Although I worried endlessly on how to face him and work with him properly, it turned out that I didn’t get to see Reiner much on my first day at work. Around an hour after I met him, Reiner left his office without an explanation to me.

“Where are you going?” I asked when he walked past my desk.

Now I understood why the desk was located here. It’s so that the secretaries can see their boss walking in and walking out. Reiner can’t enter his office or leave it without me seeing him.

“I have to go out for work. You don’t have to come with me. Just stay here and go home…” he replied and then he was gone.
