Chapter 352: Reiner - Second Day with Him
“Well, honestly, I thought you wouldn’t turn up to work if I told you that your new boss is Reiner. I don’t know what happened between you two, but I could tell that you were avoiding him like the plague,” Queen said followed by a depressed sigh.
She stuffed more cake into her mouth, and it looked like she was stress-eating. I followed her example and stuffed a large chunk of cake into my mouth and began chewing on it.
“Maybe you’re right. It’s ok though, I’ve decided to continue working even if he’s my boss. I’ll make sure to do my job well,” I stated firmly.
“It’s good to see that you’re so motivated and determined. I’m quite relieved. I was scared that you’ll just up and leave the island for good,” Queen said before smiling at me.
I watched Queen stab the cake with her fork while I wondered if she had anything to do with the manager and secretary pairing. There was a sure way to find out.
“Please tell me that you didn’t have anything to do with me being coincidentally paired up with Reiner,” I said as I narrowed my eyes slightly at her.
Queen looked at me with wide innocent eyes before shaking her head in denial.
“I did no such thing. Well, I did mention to someone in HR that your character might, you know ‘might’ be compatible with Knight...” Queen said before smiling slyly at me.
Now it was my turn to laugh at how meddlesome the lady sitting opposite to me was. I couldn’t blame her or get mad at her though. She helped me so much and I was sure that she had the right to have some fun. I wasn’t sure about my character being compatible with Reiner though...
