Chapter 284: Reiner - Time Together
Just like he had requested, every staff related to Natalia’s case was aware that he was her personal butler and would be taking care of her. He had told them to keep this a secret from Natalia and to act as if he wasn’t there. Confused but without any other options left at their disposal, they had reluctantly agreed to play along.
Wordlessly, Reiner unlocked the breaks on Natalia’s wheelchair before he started to wheel her out of the doctor’s room. Unfortunately, the VVIP floor and Natalia’s room was quite a distance away from the doctor’s room which was located in the common part of the hospital. It wasn’t a problem for him, but he was worried about Natalia running into other people, especially if it happened to be someone who knew her or recognized her.
Of course, he avoided interacting directly with her as much as possible. Opting to use Laura or the nurses to help him execute his tasks. He also never spoke to her.
“Umm...excuse me...is the weather nice today?” Natalia spoke up suddenly. She seemed hesitant to ask and that was probably because she didn’t know which nurse was with her.
Reiner knew that sooner or later the situation would arise where he would need to communicate with Natalia. It wasn’t like he could avoid talking to her forever and for events like these, he was well prepared. Reaching for and adjusting the voice changer that he had prepared; he chose a young man’s voice.
“The weather is quite nice outside today, Miss Natalia,” he replied smoothly in a young man’s voice that sounded polite and a little cheerful.
“Oh...sorry, I had assumed that you were a woman. Sorry, I didn’t mean that there’s anything wrong with you being a man...or anything like that...” Natalia said as she laughed a little to cover up for her shyness.
“That’s not a problem at all,” Reiner replied.
Natalia was silent for a moment as if she was thinking about what she was about to say next. Reiner waited patiently as he continued to push her wheelchair forward slowly.
