Chapter 524: Reiner – Loving Care
“Sure, I’ll do that. After that, we can discuss how we sort out the other tasks that Celine and her team had been covering behind the scenes,” Reiner suggested.
“Ok, let’s meet up back here when we’re done. Maybe in like 30 minutes? I might take a little more time in the kitchen,” I told Reiner while I tried not to sound too stressed out.
“Don’t stress, Natalia. This isn’t even close to the end of the world,” Reiner said jokingly.
“I know that...” I mumbled in reply.
Reiner smiled at me before he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on my forehead as his large hand patted the top of my head lovingly. I looked up at his face when he stood up again as a feeling of pure thankfulness flooded my chest with warmth.
Thank you for being here with me, R...
It was fully because of my own selfishness and stubbornness that Reiner was stuck here running an orphanage for kids with me. When Reiner took me on a holiday to help me on this project, he probably never anticipated that we would end up taking over as the temporary managers of this place. I had to say that that thought never entered my mind either. However, what choice did we really have? If we left, what would happen to this place?
I didn’t even want to think about it. The future just seemed so bleak and insecure. We just had to work together to change that for the sake of the children.
After reuniting in the small office where Celine and her team used to work up until very recently, Reiner and I went through the other tasks that we had to do as the new managers to this place to keep it running smoothly. Some of the basic ways that Celine worked to cut corners to pocket money actually worked in our favor.
