Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 115

“Nida! Why are you out here?” Randell asked worriedly, and his eyes landed on Nida’s wrist, which was dripping with blood.

“Did you pull out the IV?”

“Ms. Nida!”

Hearing someone call Nida’s name, he looked into the hallway and saw two nurses that were running towards them.

“Ma’am, you cannot leave the ward! You’re not well yet!” The nurse said, while breathing heavily in between her words.

“As far as I can see, it’s you who are not well.” Nida replied, looking at the pale faces of the nurses. “I’m out here.”

“No ma’am, you can’t. Yes you can.” The nurse suddenly changed her statement and left them after that.

“Huh? What happened?”

“I used my dust.”

“Huh? Will you be fine?”

“Of course I won’t. Let’s go home. I fucking told Ranz not to take me to the hospital.” Nida annoyingly said, while she was struggling to walk.

“Let me carry you.”

“Sure.” Nida held out her arms to let Randell carry her, but he was not moving. “Wow, did you just ask but have no intention of doing it?”

“Ah! No! no.” He hurriedly picked her up, and princess carried her. “I was just shocked that you agreed to be carried.”

“I am fucking sick. I can’t be choosy.”

“Ow. Anyway, Nida It’s not Ranz who took you here. ”

“Hmm? What do you mean?”

“He left the door open and the police officer mistook him as a pervert and took him to the police station, while the police officer was the one who rushed you to the hospital.”

“Ugh. That’s another thing to take care of. ”

She frowned just thinking of the hassle of taking Ranz out of the station.

“Are you fine to be home alone again? After dropping you off at home, I need to go back to Ranz.”

“No, let’s go to the station now and let’s go home together,” she said, while Randell gently put her down in the passenger seat and gave his jacket to Nida.

“Will you be fine?”

“Of course I won’t, but this is the fastest way so that I can rest without thinking about other things.”

“O-okay.”

Randell drove the car fast on the way to the station to pick up Ranz.

..

..

..

At the police station…

“Just admit your wrongdoing, you pervert!”

Smack!

“Ugh!” Ranz was hit with the police thick log book again.

They are interrogating him regarding a crime he never committed.

There had been a thief and a pervert lurking around Nida’s neighbor, which is why the police were so eager to find out if they had finally apprehended the criminal who had been causing them so much grief for months.

The police officer who should be clearing out Ranz’s name was not back at the station yet.

“You’re the pervert that lurks around at night! You even touched a helpless lady!”

Pak!

Pak!

He kept his mouth shut even though he was hit multiple times by the police officer.

At first, he defended himself by telling them that he was not the criminal they were hunting, but he got tired and chose to be silent because no one was listening or trying to understand him.

He is just murdering all the police in his mind.

Pak!

“How can you call yourself human? You are aware that-.”

“Excuse me, sir, I think you’re the one not acting like a human.” Randell politely stated while he grabbed the police officer’s wrist tightly.

“Who are you?” the police officer asked in confusion, and he looked at Randell and Ranz and compared their appearances.

“Aha! Are you siblings? This brother of yours was caught trespassing in an apartment!” The police officer snatched his wrist back.

“Excuse me, there must be a misunderstanding,” Nida interjected.

“Oh no! Miss! Are you alright?”

Two other police officers on standby quickly offered a chair to Nida.

“Thank you,” Nida appreciated the chair because her knees were about to give in, “Sir, I hope you recognize me.”

“Ah yes, you’re the lady this pervert trespassed on.” The police officer rudely pointed at Ranz and didn’t hide his disgust toward Ranz.

“No sir, this is entirely a misunderstanding.”

“What?”

“Can you check his record? His social security number is 521012.” Nida is lucky that she memorized the number on Ranz’s ID. She never thought that she would use it immediately.

“You know his SS number?” The police officer started to get confused and looked up the number on his computer.

“Ranz Lobo, 28, single. No criminal record. ”

The police mumbled the information that appeared on the screen.

“Hey! I won’t be interrogating you if you give me your social security number right away!” The police rudely pointed their finger at Ranz again.

The police were more suspicious of Ranz because he refused to tell them his SS number, which he didn’t know that he had.

“Sir, please stop treating him like that. He is my housemate.”

“Then why is he groping your chest when we enter your house?” the police officer asks, exaggerating what happened.

“G-grope my what?” Nida was flustered and hugged herself. She and Randell looked at Ranz to confirm.

“I-I didn’t grab your chest! Why would I do that?” Ranz was also flustered and stuttering.

Nida cannot trust what everyone says nowadays and relies on her dust to tell the truth.

Haaa~

She let out a long sigh after hearing from her dusts what had really happened.

“Sir, please don’t exaggerate.”

“I don’t. We really caught this bastard groping your chest! ”

“He was just picking out the ice that fell on my chest.” She stated feeling ridiculous about the reason why Ranz’s hand landed in her chest. But her dusts defended Ranz, saying that he’d been panicking and calling for help the moment she had a high fever.

His actions were strange, but she appreciated them.

“That’s ridiculous.”

“That’s normal for us, sir. Please let us go now, sir. I am sick.” Nida coldly spoke.

The police officer was flustered and let them go after signing an incident report.

“Hmm?”

Nida looked at her side after she felt someone touch her sleeve.

“What?” she asked and slapped Ranz’s hand that was holding her sleeve.

They were left in front of the police station waiting for Randell to bring the car from the parking lot a distance away from the station.

“Sorry.”

Nida raised her head and looked at the tall and big guy, biting his own lips to hold himself from crying.

“You look ugly.” She commented.

“Sorry.”

Nida stood on tiptoe to reach Ranz’s face and held them on both sides.

“Why? Does living us human hard?” she asked in a soft tone, and Ranz responded by shaking his head side to side.

“Then why do you look ugly today?”

“Humans..” His voice was croaky and his words were short from holding back his tears.

“What of it?” Nida patiently waits for Ranz’s words, even if her knees will give up soon.

“Humans are scarier than demons.” Ranz can’t hold his tears anymore, and his tears flow down to his cheeks, wetting Nida’s fingers.

“You just realized?” Nida laughed at his statement and let him go. Then she stood straight in front of him and opened up her arms.

“Come here. I can give you a hug. ” Ranz’s tears didn’t stop because Nida smiled brightly. It makes it even worse.

“Are you that happy that I am ugly crying?” he asked as he hugged Nida.

“No. I am congratulating you now. ” She patted Ranz’s back gently.

“For what?”

“For going through shitty things, humans usually have.”

“Being human sucks.” He buried his face in Nida’s neck and felt her warmth. That gave comfort to his tired mind and body.

“I agree with you.”

They continued to hug each other until someone forcefully pulled Nida away from Ranz.

“Ack! Suddenly? Oh! Randell.”

It was Randell who pulled Nida. He also looked serious when looking at the two.

“Let’s go home. Nida, you need to rest.” He said and carried Nida back to the car.

Ranz wiped his tears and followed the two.

“You’re all right now, right?” Randell asked before Ranz could open the car.

“Yes.”

“Good. You should have informed my coworkers about your emergency so that I could rush home. You made this situation a mess. ” Randell said, while holding the door of the car. Nida was already inside the back seat, watching the brothers’ deathly stares at each other.

“Are you blaming me?” Ranz exclaimed indignantly. He couldn’t believe that even with Randell he needed to explain the same thing that he explained inside the police station that no one dared to understand.

“Why? Is taking care of Nida that hard? ”

“Hey, I called you and you fucking left your phone to a fucking random lady accusing me of being a scammer! ”

“You can just identify yourself!”

“Identify? Identify? You are Randell, and who am I? You fucking only child! ”

“Are you blaming me for taking this name alone? Then take it! Who told you to give this to me? ”

“Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Let’s go home! ” Nida doesn’t get what the two are fighting about and doesn’t really want to concern herself as she feels dizzy because her fever is getting worse again.

Ranz snatched the car keys from Randell’s hand and sat in the driver’s seat.

“Get inside! Bastard!” Ranz shouted angrily toward Randell.
