Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 117

“You look ugly.”

Ranz chuckled once he heard Nida call Randell ugly.

“The person who did this to him shouldn’t be laughing.” Nida commented, glaring at Ranz.

Ranz stopped laughing at Randell’s face and then returned to cooking their breakfast while Randell and Nida were drinking their morning coffee and tea.

“True. He doesn’t have a conscience. ” Randell said, while acting pitiful.

“Are you fine with going to work with this face? I can’t heal you.” She said, looking at her hand and checking her divine powers, which were not back to normal yet, but thankfully she didn’t feel sick anymore.

“Yes, I have no choice.”

“You’re cunning, you only hit him in the face.” Nida commented, staring at Randell and Ranz’s faces, comparing their injuries.

Although Randell’s face is all swollen up, his body has few injuries, while Ranz has bruises and scratch marks on his body. “But I guess Randell was stronger.”

Bleh!

Randell makes a face to tease Ranz.

Ranz just returned, making face.

The three chuckled after seeing their funny faces.

Nida was relieved that she had another normal breakfast, but she wished that this peacefulness would continue the whole day.

“Anyway, Nidz, who are those people who run after us?” Ranz asked.

“Something like that happened?” Randell interjected.

“Yes, we went into a shady place to get my identification cards, but we bumped into some sort of bulky person and they ran after us.” Ranz stated.

Randell stood up and looked at the two worriedly. “Then the reason you were sick was because of this?”

“Yes, sort of. I drained my power from using the teleportation spell. But don’t worry. I’m fine now.” Nida waves her hand toward Randell to make him sit again. She doesn’t have any energy yet for drama.

“Then who are they?” Ranz asked again.

“When I was younger, I was involved in the underworld.” She calmly said, then sipped on her tea.

“What?” The two let go of whatever they were holding and came close to her, surprised and worried about her.

Nida frowned at the two’s reaction. “Isn’t your reaction over the top?”

“What do you expect us to react?”

“Yes, plus, you were involved in the underworld? How can you still be a priestess? Should we call you a saint?”

Nida laughed loudly after she realized what the two were worried about.

“No. no. It’s not the underworld as you think. Haha! I forgot that you two are werewolves. I am talking about the human underworld!”

The two watched Nida laugh while holding onto her stomach.

“You scared us.”

“Haha sorry.”

The two were thinking about the underworld, which is the mythical abode of the dead.

On the other hand, Nida was referring to the underworld of the world of criminals or of organized crime.

“So, what do they want from you?”

“Rather than wanting me, they wanted me to disappear.”

“Huh? You have that kind of threat to your life?”

“yeah! How can you walk around so carelessly?”

“No, I am safe. They had actually forgotten about me, but they thought I was going back again because I walked back there on my own two feet.” Nida shrugged her shoulders and continued to act careless.

“Y-you’re in trouble because of me.” Ranz’s shoulder slumped from knowing that he had gotten Nida into trouble again.

“Nah. Don’t worry. I already texted my friend about it. He will clean this up for me.”

“Who?”

“No need to know.” Nida peeked at the pan and pointed at it. “Are you serving as burnt food?”

“Ah! Sorry!”

Nida successfully escaped the topic and the two just stopped asking more because, although they were worried, they actually didn’t have the right to know.

“Anyway, Randell, can you buy him a new phone?”

“Yes, I am planning to buy him one later after work.”

“Okay, good, but bring Rudy with you.”

“Yes, I will.”

Nida smiled after she felt satisfied to see Randell not arguing with her anymore.

“How about you, Nida? What are you going to do today?” Randell asked curiously.

“I’ll stay at home. I’ll look up some job postings online.”

“Ah, are you going to practice?”

“Practice what?” Ranz and Nida asked at the same time.

“Ah, Ranz, you don’t know about this because you were sealed at that time, but I watched Nida’s job interview and she sucked. ”

“S-suck?” Nida was flustered hearing that word from Randell.

“Yes, how many job interviews did you fail before you got into CTC?”

“F-five.” She embarrassedly replied. “But! I got in! That can only mean I did well!”

“No, sorry to tell you this late, but me and Wendell were one of the panel interviewers.”

“Huh? I don’t remember if I met you two there. If I see you, I am sure I will run away and won’t even dare to enter into the same company as you wolves.” She honestly responded and became suspicious again. “Don’t tell me even that time, Wendell played with my memories?”

“No. We were under disguise at that time. Sorry, but Wendell is too mischievous. He hired you because he thought it would be fun.” Randell avoids Nida’s menacing gaze.

“So you know, Wendell was out there planning to make fun of me and you let him? And what of it? I sucked in the interview, but I was hired?” Nida was getting angry again, but she sipped on her tea to calm herself.

“Sorry.” Randell didn’t say anything else and just apologized.

“Ugh. I need a litter of this tea.” She said, she was very upset, but she then shook her head. “Arg! Forget about it! Wendell will taste my dust later on, but tell me, what did I do wrong in my interview?”

She tries to concentrate on what is important rather than dwell on her anger.

“You answered blandly and didn’t answer with details that strongly support yourself or make yourself appealing. You just basically answered what was asked.”

“Isn’t that how it works?”

“No.” Ranz and Randell replied.

“Wait, why are you both talking as if you all know how to deal with a job interview?”

“Because we really know.” Ranz proudly stated.

“Yes, Ranz was the one who worked hard so that we could work at CTC.”

“But before I settled at CTC, I was employed at other companies. That is why I know how job interviews work.”

“How about you, Randell?” Nida asked because he was also aware that Randell was sleeping while Ranz was freely using his body.

“Remember, I originally didn’t plan to go to college, so I had already tried for multiple job interviews before the wolf attack.”

“Ah right, I remember you were so busy at that time.”

“So you better practice Nida.”

“Yeah. I didn’t know that you really suck at this. What were you doing after graduating?”

“Well, I hated everyone and everything at that time, so…” Nida bit her lips before continuing to tell them about her past. “I locked myself. I don’t go out.”

Ranz and Randell froze, not knowing what to do because it’s their fault Nida was like that.

“I was home schooled as well. I only come to the Uni whenever I have to attend to something. You know my father.” Nida was embarrassed by how incompetent she was. “And I was involved with the underworld, so maybe I really don’t know how a normal interview should be done.”

Randell rubbed the back of his head and looked at Ranz.

“I can teach you how.” Ranz volunteered.

“Yes, Ranz is good at that.”

Randell and Ranz looked at her with a bright smile, trying to comfort her.

“You can also ask us about the proper attire for interviews.”

“Oh, I know that part. I am not too stupid. What do you take me for? ” Nida pouted.

“Ops, I thought you wanted a stylist too.” Randell acted funny in front of Nida, which made them laugh all together.

“You don’t have to worry, you will definitely score that interview with my coaching!” Ranz confidently stated.

“Yes, Yes. You can ask us anything.”

“Thanks.” Nida smiled, and she strangely felt a tingly warmth on her chest that made her feel good by just conversing with them.

“Let’s eat first.”

….

….

….

Three days after training on how to score a job interview…

Beep beep beep.

Randell pressed the car’s horn to get Nida’s attention, but she continued to walk straight away from the building she had come out to.

“What happened?” Ranz asked who was sitting inside the car with him.

“I don’t know. Let’s go.”

They got out of the car and followed Nida to where she went off too.

It was the day of Nida’s job interview and they waited in the car to support her, but after thirty minutes, she came out of the building with a weird expression.

“Did she fail?” Randell asked while they walked.

“Impossible, we prepared for this interview. I know she will do good.” Ranz responded by walking faster than Randell.

“Nida!”

“Hey!”

They loudly called her, but she only stopped walking and crouched down in the middle of the path walk.

“Hey, you’re wearing a skirt!” Ranz scolded her, but they both froze once they saw Nida’s teary eyes.

“I failed!” she cried.
