Chapter 526: Reiner – Desperate Solution
Maybe because he was new, Nick worked harder than any of us. Reiner and I worked long hours, but Nick worked even longer hours. He basically slept in a room in the orphanage and worked first thing in the morning until he went to bed at night.
“I like this place. I think this is a good orphanage. The kids are good kids too. The teachers are kind and the food tastes great,” Nick complimented everything like this was a real paradise on earth.
“You’re right,” I agreed with him before I started laughing quite loudly.
Reiner approached our table before taking the seat next to mine. He gave Nick a brief smile of greeting before he got straight to business.
“Natalia and I are flying back to the main island tomorrow. Sorry for the short notice but I think it would be better for us to talk to King as soon as possible and King agrees. We’re leaving this place in your care until we’re back. Ok?” Reiner asked without giving Nick much of a choice.
This was the first time that I was hearing about our sudden trip back to the main island too, so I was as surprised as Nick was.
“We’re leaving tomorrow...already?” I asked in surprise.
“Yes. Hopefully, when we get back, we’ll have some type of longer-term solution for this place. You two may or may not know this but this isn’t the only orphanage that King is running. So, there’s a lot of work to be done if there are similar cases of fraud in the other places as well...” Reiner said before he pressed his lips into a thin line.
Fraud in other places...
