Chapter 355: Reiner - Cheer Me Up
In the end, I decided not to say what was on my mind. It wasn’t because I was afraid to hear his response, but it was because I already knew what he would say, and I just didn’t want him to tell me to go home again.
“I’m very sorry. Please enjoy your meal...” I said politely as I kept my eyes down and my head hung low.
I turned and left the room before he could say anything. There was nothing for me to do in the afternoon, so I killed some more time helping out with random tasks at the secretarial office. Maybe if things continue this way, I’ll just become a general clerk without a manager as my boss which wasn’t at all too bad.
By the time that the workday was over, I was too depressed to stay another minute in the office building. Thankfully, I had work at the bar tonight. Talking to Kat and just working would probably make me feel better. After grabbing my stuff, I was on my way to the bar. Just getting in the car eased my stress considerably. There was nothing wrong with the job that I had but my relationship with Reiner couldn’t be more strained. I might be taking my own side, but I believed that I’ve done my best.
I spoke politely, I smiled, I was sincere, and I tried my best at everything...
“You’re here early...” Kat said with widened eyes as I walked in through the door.
“Yeah...” I replied vaguely.
“Is everything ok?” she asked as if she could sense how blue I was feeling.
“Of course. Why wouldn’t it be?” I replied a little too confidently.
“I hope that it’ll be an easy night for us tonight. It’s been too busy around here lately,” Kat said wistfully.
“I hope so too...” I replied with a smile.
