Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 110

At Nida’s apartment, Ranz was left alone to rest.

Sigh!

Rather than getting bored, he is more bothered by his own thoughts.

Ranz couldn’t count how many times he had sighed after they left him alone.

“We were helpless.” He mumbled, thinking about what had happened in the jungle.

Ranz couldn’t accept the fact that they almost died just because of almost falling into a cliff. He always thought that his enemies would kill them and never thought that they might die as simply as that.

He can’t complain either because they agreed to become like this.

Sigh!

“I need distraction.” He got up from lying down and walked around Nida’s apartment.

“How can she pay rent?” He wondered how and why Nida had an apartment that was spacious enough not to be considered a place for a single, financially unstable lady to stay.

It has two rooms; one is empty, and the other is Nida’s bedroom. The kitchen is pretty big for someone who usually eats processed food, and her living room is just there and obviously not being used. Also, her bathroom could accommodate two tall and muscled guys to wash inside.

“Her bed room is the only place you can tell someone is living here.” Ranz commented. Her bedroom is so messy that you can tell that Nida mostly stays in bed and the other parts of the room are untouched.

“She never changed.”

He recalled how messy Nida was with her things and how she didn’t clean up her own space. He could not tell if the clothes on her floor and bed were used or not.

“Shall I clean?” he said, and he started picking up trash and bottles of beer lying around her bedroom.

“Ew!” he exclaimed once he discovered a disgusting glue trap under Nida’s bed. It has lizards stuck on it, but it doesn’t smell because the dead lizards are all dried up because it was left there for more than a week.

He wore plastic gloves and picked up the glue traps.

Plop!

“Shit!” he cursed after he accidentally dropped one of the glue traps. He picked it up, but the sticky part stuck on the floor.

“I’ll take care of you later!” He was irritated. He left all the glue traps on the floor and went back inside the bed room. It took him an hour just to pick up all the things lying on the floor. He threw all the clothes into the washer since he could not tell which ones were used or not, and continued to thoroughly clean Nida’s room.

“Ha! I don’t even know why I am doing this!” he shouted after he felt satisfied with his cleaning.

“I feel so thirsty.” He went to the kitchen and brought the pitcher outside. He plans to drink water while watching TV and enjoy the chips he found in Nida’s drawer.

“Aah!”

Blagh!

“Shit! I forgot about this!” Ranz shouted in pain. His knees were bruised from tripping. He stepped on the glue traps that he left on the floor, which made him trip.

He tried to remove the glue on his skin, but it was too sticky.

“Get off!” he shouted loudly while pulling out the glue, and he successfully removed it.

He throws the glue trap in the trash, but he ends up limping while walking because his skin stings from being peeled off too.

“Where did she buy those glue traps?”

Without rest, he maps the floor.

After tripping, the pitcher he was holding was thrown away, spilling the water all over the place.

“Hmm? The water went inside.”

He opened a wooden door that was located near Nida’s bedroom. Ranz expected this to be a broom box or a storage space, but what he discovers are three dolls sitting leisurely as if they are having a tea party.

The space between Nida’s bedroom and the other empty room becomes the tiny space of the three dolls. The tiny space is decorated with led lights that will automatically light up every time the wooden door is opened.

“She’s still obsessed with dolls?”

He stared at the dolls for a moment.

The three dolls are weirdly enchanting. The two bisque dolls and a Barbie doll are oozing with elegance and beauty.

“She took care of you three, huh? This little room is pretty clean, unlike her room. ”

He carefully took the dolls out and removed their clothes because the water that he spilled got into the dolls’ clothes.

He cannot blow dry the dolls directly because he doesn’t know what material they were made of, which might not be good in contact with heat.

“Why am I getting nervous stripping dolls?”

He successfully took out the clothes and blew-dried them inside the bathroom.

Ring ring ring.

The telephone was ringing, but Randell could not hear it because of the blow dry.

Ring ring ring.

“Hmm? Phone?”

He hurriedly walked out of the bathroom, but he froze once he heard a cracking sound.

“W-why did I leave you there?” he shakenly muttered.

He lifts his feet slowly and it stings more because some parts of the doll’s parts got into his peeled off skin.

Ring ring ring.

“Shut up!” he vents his rage toward the phone that keeps ringing.

He limped again and picked up the phone, but he didn’t speak to it. He just waited for the other side to speak.

“Ah, Hello? Ranz. Leave the living room for a moment; Nida will teleport our things there.” Randell instructed

Ranz frowns the longer the call takes because his skin under his feet stings a lot. He could not even focus on what Randell was saying and just said, “Okay,” without entirely understanding why Randell called. All he could pick up was that they would go grocery shopping.

Ranz just returned to the living room and fixed the doll while sitting on the floor.

“Shit! Shit! Shit! ”

He panicked. He knows that this doll cannot be paid for with money. Nida will surely be furious once she finds out that one of her dolls was broken.

“Ah, better bring you back to your room again.”

Ranz dressed the two other dolls and brought them back to their original place to make sure the two wouldn’t break as well. All he needed to do was figure out how to fix the one he stepped on.

BOOM!

“Huh?”

He slowly turned his head, fearing what the sound was he heard in the living room.

“Fuck! The doll! ” He rushed back to the living room, but he could no longer see the doll.

All he could see was a mountain of luggage and boxes.

“Wh-what? H-how?” He panicked again while trying to push away the boxes. But he was too weak to even make it move.

“The fucking doll was crushed! shit!” he shouted in frustration. Then he decided to take the boxes one by one. It took him a long time to finally see the doll again.

“H-how can I fix this?”

The doll was completely flattened and it’s beyond unrecognizable.

“I’m doomed. –ugh!”

It was too late for him to realize that his wounds under his feet had become worse and his knee bruises began to sting.

“Ranz, you’re too pathetic.” He lay on the floor and lost the will to move. He has never been this clumsy and pathetic ever since he came into this world. He used to be so confident and good at everything he did. Why does he feel like he has turned debased, or at least scrupulous?

ding dong ding dong

He flinched once he heard the doorbell.

“Here they are! What to do?” He panicked once again and felt lame because he really felt like crying at the moment.

He breathed in and breathed multiple times before opening the door.

“Finally! Ranz, what took you so long?” Randell exclaimed the moment he entered the entrance.

Ranz looked at Nida sleeping in Randell’s arms and felt relieved that he still had time to fix his mess or at least ask for Randell’s help.

He was about to tell Randell about it, but his brother rushed inside.

“Ah, wait!” he subconsciously shouted, loud enough to make Nida wake up.

He regretted his action and nervously looked at Nida.

“What’s wrong, Ranz? You look even paler.” Finally, Randell noticed his brother’s state. Ranz was not only pale, he was also sweating profusely.

“J-just don’t enter yet.” He said, but Nida didn’t listen to him and entered the living room.

“You motherfucker.” she angrily said, and rushed toward her doll. She kneeled down and gently picked up the broken pieces of the doll.

“Did you play with my doll?” Nida’s voice was so calm, but they shiver from the ominous aura she emits. Her dust also swirls around her as if it were slowly forming a storm of dust.

“N-nida, please calm down.” Randell said, trying to calm her down.

“Haha? Calm down.”

They feared more of what her rage would be like as they could not see her face because her back was facing them.

“Let us hear Ranz’s side. He must have an explanation for how this happe-” Randell stopped speaking midway once Nida turned to them. Her tears kept flowing down her cheeks, and she looked into them with so much hatred.

“Is there any valid reason why you have to ruin my dolls? Fine! Tell me!”
