He was already walking by my side, but I decided to ignore him and continued walking forward. Suddenly, he grabbed my arms and pulled me against him. “Where do you think you’re going?” Reiner asked as he stared down at my face. The grip he had on my arm tightened as his worried expression turned into a scold. He’s getting mad…like I care. “Away from here…just like what you’ve always wanted…” I hissed as I tried to shake my arm free of his grip. I screamed and Reiner had no choice but to let go of my arm. I continued walking and he followed close to my side. “Come back, Natalia. Let’s go back to the car. It’s not safe here…” Reiner continued talking to me. “Stay away from me…” I muttered. “Natalia!” Reiner called my name loudly. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his arms. Automatically, I began struggling but his arms around my body tightened, pulling me even closer against his body. He hugged me tightly as his large hand pressed my head against his hard chest. I could fee

“Basically, these places fit the criteria based on the information that you’ve provided but personally, I would recommend these three places first because it’s ready for you to move in as soon as tomorrow if you need to. You did mention that you were sort of in a rush, right?” the woman said before smiling at me. I scanned the information and photos of the three places that she mentioned, and they all looked fine. Honestly, I wasn’t picky at that point. As long as the place fit the location requirement, was decently clean, and fits within my budget, then I was fine with it. “Can we visit these places today?” I asked. “Of course. I can take you there. They’re all within the same area anyways based on your requirement so it shouldn’t take too long for us to cover them all,” the woman said encouragingly. “Let’s go then, what are we waiting for?” Kat said excitedly. Just like that, we were on our way to visit the first apartment. This one was the cheapest from the three options and w

The door closed behind me with a small thud as my body froze in place and my face felt numb. “Good…morning…” I replied softly after regaining my composure. That was all I could come up with to say to him. Why was Reiner standing here in front of my door? “Good morning, Natalia. Are you going to work today?” Reiner asked flatly. Is that another way of asking me why I wasn’t at work yesterday? I took in a deep breath and stood up a little straighter. “Yes, of course. Umm…thank you for waiting for me. Shall we?” I said as I tried to act natural. I didn’t wait for Reiner to say anything in response before walking past him along the hallway that would lead us to the stairs. My mind screamed all the way to the stairs as I wondered why he had to appear in front of my bedroom like that. Honestly, I wasn’t planning on avoiding him or anything. I had work to do, and I was going to do it. Act natural, Natalia. I repeated this to myself with every breath that I took until we got into the

It wasn’t the first time that I started thinking of people back home. I knew that I didn’t miss home and that I didn’t want to go back. However, recently, I’ve been thinking of the people back at home more and more. I shook my head a little to shake away my thoughts. Perhaps Reiner’s words telling me to go home was finally getting to my head. “Natalia…” Reiner called my name softly. My chopstick stopped midair in my surprise. I lifted my eyes to look at Reiner. “Hmm? What is it?” I asked curiously. Reiner glanced away as if he was hesitating to say what he had in mind. I cocked my head to the side curiously as I watched him and waited for him to continue. “Actually, never mind…” Reiner said emotionlessly. He continued eating just like nothing had happened. I picked up my teacup and sipped at the warm green tea as I peered at his face over the rim of my teacup. I wondered what he was about to say…Lunch came to an end without us sharing any more conversation. To my relief, lunch

I knew that I shouldn’t poke my nose into his business, but my body moved on my own. Without any sense of decency, I peered out from where I was hiding so that I could see them. The sight of a very tall woman dressed casually in a white tank top with blue jeans with her arm around Reiner’s neck as she pulled him into a close hug wasn’t exactly what I expected to see. “You’re here super early,” Reiner said warmly as he returned her hug and stroked her hair. No one had to tell me so because I already knew. This tall woman with long wavy brown hair, sun-kissed skin and a firm body must be Rachael, Reiner’s fiancée. “I know! I’m not supposed to turn up here until dinner time, but I decided to drop by earlier to see you anyways. Guess luck is on my side. Honestly, I thought that you wouldn’t be home today, but I decided to try my luck anyways,” Rachael said sweetly before smiling up at Reiner. “You could have called,” Reiner replied as he returned her smile. I don’t think I’ve eve
