Chapter 395: Reiner – Silent Treatment
Reiner didn’t seem to like it that I knew Charles or that I was a little close to him, but he was engaged to someone else and wanted me to go away. Charles was interested in me, but I haven’t decided to progress with our relationship yet. Mostly because of my lingering feelings for Reiner.
How do I explain such a messed-up situation? The answer was simple: I couldn’t clear up anything.
Amazing. Truly amazing.

The hand of the clock is ticking by so slowly today. My eyes stared at the hand of the clock as the seconds ticked by. Was it just me or was the clock ticking much slower right now than on other days? I hated myself and how rotten I felt inside. I knew that it was my fault and not the clock’s fault that time was slipping by so painfully slowly. Since the two men went into Reiner’s office, all I was able to achieve was moving my ass from the sofa to the chair behind my desk.
From this location, I could stare up at the clock on the opposite wall like I had nothing else better to do in my life. The room was so silent that I could hear the sound of the clock ticking. How long is the meeting going to last? It was scheduled for an hour...does that mean that I have to stare at this clock for another 50 minutes? Only 10 minutes had passed?
I’m going crazy...
What are those two talking about? They’re just talking about work, and everything is going smooth and professionally well, right?
...they’re not talking about me, right?
