“No, actually, I was wondering…if you want to have lunch together with me?” Reiner asked bluntly.
“Lunch…with you?” I repeated questioningly, unable to believe what I had just heard.
Reiner is asking me to have lunch with him? Huh? Why? Why this all of a sudden?
“Yes, lunch with me,” Reiner repeated with his eyes still on my face.
I blinked rapidly as his words started to sink in. Is this really happening?
Honestly, if he had asked me to join him for lunch a few days ago, I would have jumped up and cried for joy. However, I wasn’t sure what I should be feeling now. My feelings were completely messed up. I didn’t feel any happiness at all…I just felt uncomfortable and anxious. Pushing my messy thoughts and feelings aside, I decided to concentrate on the facts. It doesn’t matter why he asked me out, a lunch is just lunch. It’s probably not strange for a boss to invite his subordinate to eat lunch with him.
Don’t read too much into this, Natalia.
