Chapter 45: Strictly Professional
Soon after, I left the hotel with Reiner. To my surprise, Edward left before me citing that he had business to attend to. Reiner escorted me home.
“Prepare a bath for Miss Natalia,” Reiner instructed the maids the moment we set foot into the mansion. I could use a long bath and I guess he knew that too.
I was told Lucien was out for work when I inquired about his whereabouts. Their differences aside, the two brothers definitely have workaholism as their common trait. I could use some rest, starting from a long bath and perhaps taking a stroll in the garden. I remembered that I haven’t visited the garden for some time already the moment that Lucien referred to the garden as part of our earlier conversation. I could show Reiner around as well, I doubt he’s been to the garden.
“The bath is ready, Miss Natalia” said one of my personal maids, Laura. Laura has been with me for around 6 years now and we are quite close. She is a pro at taking care of my every need and usually helps me to bathe.
Naked and in my bathroom, I am waiting on dear Laura to come in and assist me. I usually don’t require help but on rare occasions, I do ask for her to pamper me. Today was one of those occasions.
“Natalia, I’m coming in,”
R...Reiner?! Wait, I’m completely naked!
“Wait!” I shouted but the door was already open. Reiner stood in the door way in his full butler attire.
I screamed and covered my breast as I turned around. This is clearly a mistake and he will leave, right?
