“Every mission has its own danger. We’re not paid the way we’re paid to sit back and relax in safety,” Charles stated like it was nothing. “Oh…” I mumbled without bothering to hide my worry and disappointment. “Don’t worry. I hardly do any work myself anymore. I’m more into managing teams and tasking people with missions now. I’m not as young as I used to be…” Charles said with a relaxed smile. I wondered just how old he was. He made it sound like he was so old but from what I could tell, he was probably in his early thirties, and he couldn’t possibly be older than 35. Was that considered very old already in this field of work? “How old are you, Charles?” I asked without thinking. Shit. I cursed myself as the question slipped carelessly out of my mouth. “No…sorry. I didn’t mean to pry…” I quickly apologized. Charles just laughed at me. He seemed to be in a very good mood, and it didn’t seem like anything I said or did would ruin his temper. “It’s ok. I actually like it that yo

“Thank you for having me here for dinner,” she replied smoothly. “You’re welcomed here any time, you know that. Please send my regards to your mother. I hope that she will get well soon,” Queen said.“Of course. Thank you, Queen,” Rachael thanked the older woman politely. “Thank you, Rachael. Knight, please take care of her,” Queen said before smiling at them both and taking her leave. Reiner watched as his mother walked gracefully out of the dining room, leaving him alone with Rachael once again. He felt tired after spending his entire day entertaining her or more like letting her try to entertain him. He glanced at his watched and wondered when Rachael would go home. Just as Reiner was about to suggest that Rachael should head home, the younger woman spoke up. “The weather is so nice. What about an evening stroll in the garden with me?” Rachael suggested in a pleading voice. Reiner remembered how she would beg for him to play with her when she was younger too. Whenever her fath

“I see…that’s one hell of a project that you’re working on,” Charles said, and he seemed interested. “Yeah…honestly, we haven’t gotten very far at all and…that’s probably because I’m not at all knowledgeable about this topic…” I admitted a little sadly. “I wish I could give you an easy and simple answer, but the reality is, it’s not easy at all. There are too many factors and uncertainties involved in a mission,” Charles replied followed by a sigh. “I understand that but there’s got to be something that we can do to help…” I said, not willing to give up on this. “Well, there are many things that could indicate that agents are more likely to be compatible but there is no sure formula and no guarantee that they will be…” Charles said sternly. “Such as?” I prompted as my eyes widened in interest.Charles turned to smile at me, and I could tell that he was slightly amused at my intense curiosity regarding this topic. “Such as skill level, experience working together, religion, perso

Monday arrived and I was determined to make it to work on time despite the heavy Monday morning traffic in the business district. I would be lying if I said that I didn’t feel anxious about going to work today. Honestly, I didn’t know what kind of face to make when I met Reiner after seeing him and his fiancée together on that day. I was spying on them, and I was paying the price for that dishonest act now. I got into the elevator, and I was on my way up to his office. There was no point running away from it. Unless I give up this job entirely, he’s going to remain as my boss and I’m still going to be his secretary. Reiner called me countless times yesterday. Of course, I didn’t answer any of his calls. The reason was obvious, I didn’t know what to say to him and I wasn’t exactly in the mood to have a pleasant conversation with him either. I didn’t even wonder why he was calling me. He probably found out that I had moved out of his mansion, and he was probably glad about it. The ele

My place is around here but…“It’s ok. There’s no need for you to do that. I can get back by myself. We don’t have the same destination anymore so there’s no need for you to go out of your way to drive me back. Thanks for the offer, though…” I declined politely before my eyes shifted to his large hand that was still holding the door close. Do I have to enter into a wrestling match with him before I can open that door? “You’re right…” Reiner said softly. To my surprise, he removed his hand from the door and gave me some space. Well, it wasn’t like I could win against him in a wrestling match. “Please send Queen my regards…and I’m sorry for being in your way all this time,” I said before I smiled a tight smile at him. Before he could say anything, I opened the door and walked out of his office. That night, I didn’t sleep well at all. I wondered what Reiner wanted from me and why he was suddenly acting kind towards me again. Thinking about it wasn’t going to give me any answers. I
