Chapter 382: Reiner – Worried for Him
Taking the cab wasn’t bad but it was quite pricey. After a relatively traffic-free ride, I arrived at the bar right on time to help out with pre-opening tasks. Kat and other team members were there to greet me enthusiastically.
“How was the move? You should have let me help you...” Kat asked as she stood next to me.
I picked up some utensils and began arranging them. Opening time will arrive soon so we had to hurry a bit right now.
“Smooth. There’s nothing for you to worry about. I told you that I didn’t have a lot of stuff. Thanks for offering to help though,” I replied before smiling appreciatively at her.
“Do you think Charles will turn up today?” Kat asked wistfully.
“Do you want to see him?” I asked teasingly.
“Of course. I want to see what moves he’ll make on you. Haha!” Kat replied before laughing loudly.
My eyes glanced towards the still-closed door of the bar’s entrance as I wondered if Charles would make it tonight. I didn’t know where he went but I hoped that he was alright. I had to say that looking into cases of death during missions as part of my work did not give me a good feeling about this at all. Then again, I didn’t even know what exactly Charles did for his work. He seemed very experienced, so he’s obviously been on the field before, but does he still do that?
I realize that I didn’t know anything much about Charles at all. Then again, maybe I didn’t know much about anyone on this island at all. Reiner, included.
“Opening time! At your stations. Go go go!” Jamie called out loudly as he clapped his hand.
He was right, it was opening time. Right on the clock.
