Semua Bab Forbidden Heat: Bab 331 - Bab 340

Sitting alone in the bathtub, feeling the warm water on my skin felt extremely relaxing. Now that I was alone, my thoughts drifted to my home. I wonder how things are back there. Is Zak holding up alright with everything that he’s got planned? Edward and Lucien are probably worried sick and they’re probably giving Zak a hard time. Laura is probably lost and confused about what to do because I’m not there anymore. Maybe she’s thankful now that she doesn’t have to serve the overly picky and bossy Natalia. I miss home…Once I got out of the bath, I felt completely refreshed. I slapped my own cheeks lightly to draw focus. Focus, Natalia. Time for you to land yourself a job before you start thinking of anything else! I slipped on a light lavender short night gown that was in the closet. My hair was still damp from the bath although I did dry it a little with a towel. Thinking that I can dry it later, I sat down at the table in front of the laptop and switched it on. Now, I need to look f

“Don’t look so stiff. That frown on your face is going to chase all the hot guys away,” Kat teased when she came back to my side. “There’re so many people here. Is it like this every night?” I asked in interest. “Nope. It’s a lot busier on Fridays and the weekends,” Kat replied with a wry smile. “Kat!” someone called her name and she responded with a wave of her hand right away. “I’ve got to go take care of that. Can you take this to table 5? It’s over there…” Kat instructed before pointing a finger at table 5. “Sure,” I replied before taking the tray of food from her hands. “Thanks,” Kat said in a rush. I watched Kat hurry out into the crowd of people and knew that this was the time when the place needed an extra pair of hands. As instructed, I headed over to table number 5 where a man dressed in a sleeveless black shirt was seated. Just like most male customers here, this man was ripped with muscles, and it was clear that he was a mercenary or soldier of some sort. “Here’s y

Unexpectedly, my interview was so casual that it made me forget that I was in a job interview. When I arrived at the meeting room for my interview, there was a grey-haired woman sitting there alone inside. She smiled warmly at me when I walked in and invited me to take a seat opposite from her. “Welcome, Miss Natalia,” the woman said as she looked straight at me. “Hello. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” I said politely. “I’m Maura and I’m your interviewer for today. I am part of the HR team,” she said.“Happy to meet you, Maura and thank you for taking your time to interview me today,” I said smoothly. “Ok then. Let’s get started. I’ve reviewed your resume and you seem to have a background that matches what we’re looking for. Could you please let me know why you’ve decided to apply to our company?” Maura asked. “To be honest, I just moved here to this island and I’m looking to start my career. I’m interested in learning more about this industry that is the backbone of this island’s

“I told you that he’ll turn up,” Kat said before winking at me. I knew well what she was implying but I wasn’t in the mood to pay along. By this time, I was more than certain that Charles had more than a casual interest in me. He was here to see me although beyond chatting to me, he hasn’t made any kind of move. For that, I was relieved and grateful. Needlessly to say, I wasn’t looking for that type of attention from any man right now. “So, what if he did?” I asked with a seemingly clueless shrug. “Stop playing around. I know you’re not that thick,” Kat said knowingly. “It doesn’t matter how often he turns up here to see me, I’m not interested,” I said sternly. “That’s what they always say at first. I won’t blame you if you change your mind about Charles though…” Kat said before smiling teasingly at me. “Who knows…maybe he’s just here because he’s in love with the cook’s food,” I said before laughing the whole thing off. “Maybe you are that thick if that’s what you’re honestly

I walked the short walk barefoot from the car to the entrance of the house. Although it was dark the pathway was well lit; however, there was no one around at this time of night. I was sure that there were guards positioned elsewhere though. Walking barefoot felt so much better than wearing heels. I wondered if there’s a first aid kit in my room so that I could fix up the blisters on my feet. That would be amazing…“Where have you been?” A familiar voice asked just when I arrived at the mansion’s entrance. It seemed like whatever luck I had left had just ran out. Why did I have to run into him of all people and now of all times? “Are you my father now or something?” I asked as I faced him after letting out a tired sigh. Reiner came out of the shadows where he had been leaning his back against the wall. I wondered how long he had been waiting here for me and then I didn’t want to know anymore. It annoyed me that this reminded me of the time when he was still my butler. Back then, he
