Reiner – Facing Him


    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 d about it.


    The elevator opened and I sighed loudly before making my way towards his office. I should have


    known since he announced his engagement to Rachael that sooner orter, she was going toe


    around to visit him at his ce. Why would he want me there since I’m just going to get in their way?


    No man would want to be caught in an awkward situation of having to exin to his fiancée why his


    house was hosting a female guest. I bet that just like I didn’t know how to exin our rtionship,


    Reiner probably had the same issue of exining it to other people. The simplest rtionship that


    would be understandable by society right now is that I’m his secretary and he is my boss. Period.


    When I walked into the office, I was surprised to see Reiner leaning on my desk as if he had been


    waiting for me. He turned to look at me when I entered the room.


    “Good morning, Natalia,” he greeted me casually.


    “Good morning, Knight. Can I help you with something?” I said before smiling politely at him.


    “No,” he replied.


    “Umm…the schedule for the agent interviews is here. The secretarial department should have inputted


    it in your calendar as well so you can see them there. There are three interviews today. Each are


    scheduled for 30 minutes but if that’s not enough you’re more than weed to go over time. The first


    interview starts at 1:30PM,” I informed him with a smile.


    “Thank you. Do you want to sit in as well?” he asked.


    “May I?” I asked.


    “Of course, you may,” Reiner replied.

    “That would be great. Thank you so much,” I replied before stering on one of my cheerful smiles.


    After staring at me for a moment, Reiner didn’t say anything more and headed to his personal office. I


    watched his back as he retreated into his personal office. That didn’t turn out as bad as I had thought it


    would. Plus, I get to attend the agent interviews in the afternoon. I looked forward to that more than I


    was willing to admit. I wonder what the agents would be like. Would they be cool like spies and secret


    agents that I usually saw on television or in the movies?


    …


    The first agent that we were interviewing was a man in his forties. He’s a professional sniper who used


    to work for the police force. I didn’t like to judge people from appearances alone but the photo in his


    profile made me believe that this guy must be on hell of an introvert. I chose this agent for the interview


    partly because three of his teammates have died before on three separate missions. However, the


    main reason that I chose him was because for his whole career, he had been working mostly


    independently or very loosely associated to group missions. However, due to changes in the nature of


    the work in the industry, for the past two years, his missions have shifted to be more team-based.


    The thin and tall man that was escorted into Reiner’s office looked more like an introvert now that I’ve


    seen him in real life. It was like he wasn’t interested in talking or interacting with anyone. A polite


    greeting never exited his mouth as he sat down opposite Reiner at his table. He was dressed in simple


    casual clothes. A ck short sleeve shirt pair with grey pants and white sneakers. If wouldn’t pay any


    special attention to this man if I walked past him on the street. He seemed normal and there was no


    way that I would suspect that he’s a professional sniper.


    “You’re Brooke, right? Thanks for agreeing to a meeting with me,” Reine said politely.


    “Knight…” the man with the codename Brooke said.


    I didn’t have any doubt that that wasn’t his real name. It was a codename and it seemed like all agents


    operated strictly under a codename.


    “Well then, since we don’t have that much time. I’m going to start asking you some questions and I’d


    appreciate it if you could answer them honestly and openly,” Knight instructed with a warm smile.


    “…Sure,” the thin man said.


    I doubt that he would do much talking during this interview, but it was good enough that he was


    cooperative. I watch the two men converse and it wasn’t long before Brooke began opening up and


    talking more. His answers to the questions were concise, direct, and they seemed very honest.


    The second interviewee was a man famous for his close-rangebat abilities. Frankly, when I


    watched the man shake hand with Reiner, I was shocked at how tall he was in real life. Reiner was very


    tall, but this man was like a mini giant. He was much taller than Reiner and his muscles were


    unbelievably bulky. Closebat abilities indeed. Now, unlike the man before, I would definitely pay


    attention to this guy if I walked past him on the street. He didn’t look like amon guy at all.
