Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 120
“What’s going on?” Randell asked after seeing Ranz getting dressed up in a suit and looking very professional.
“Nida keeps failing her interviews, so I was planning to show her how she would deal with one.” Ranz replied without looking at Randell because he was busy looking at the mirror.
“How will you even show her?” Randell fixed his gaze on his brother, who was constantly changing his neck tie.
“She has her dust, you know.” Ranz nonchalantly responded.
“Ah, you’re right. That’s convenient. But make sure there are no supernatural creatures around. Okay?”
“Yes, sir!” Ranz turned around and showed his attire to Randell. “Your clothes don’t look good with my skin tone.” He pointed out
“Then buy new clothes.” Randell said, while frowning. The money that they were using was literally Ranz’s money, but even with that fact, Ranz didn’t lavishly spend his money and just shared everything with Randell, including their underwear.
“Nope. This is fine. I’ll still shine, especially since I have this face.” He confidently stated, to which Randell responded by slowly clapping.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever.” Randell stood up and left the room.
“Nida! Are you not done yet? Hurry!” He shouted and knocked on Nida’s bedroom door. She was taking her time dressing up again.
“It’s okay, we still have time.” Ranz said after coming out of their room.
“For you two, it’s fine, but for me, who needs to drive you in the opposite direction with CTC, I am going to be late.” Randell said, thinking about the time he would be spending driving them to their desired company and back to CTC.
“Ah, your right.”
Ranz realized Randell’s situation, and he knocked on Nida’s bedroom door as well.
“Fine! Fine! Here I am!” Nida shouted and angrily opened her door as the two kept knocking loudly.
“What took so long?”
“I was looking for something to wear.”
“You look fine.”
“What’s wrong?”
The two wondered what was wrong, because there was nothing wrong with her attire. She looks neat and classy with her white shirt over a beige coat paired with beige pants. She even tied her long hair to make herself look intelligent.
“I don’t know, I just feel like this attire will fail me.”
The two chuckled, hearing Nida’s worries.
“What’s funny?” he asked, sending a deathly glare at the two.
“Nothing. You look amazing, you don’t have to worry.”
“Yes, right. And you’ve got Ranz here. You just have to watch very closely.”
“I will. And this time I hope I’ll be accepted.” She heaved a long sigh.
Ranz and Randell motivate Nida first before they leave their apartment.
“I can’t stay with you any longer. I’ll be late at CTC.” Randell said goodbye to Nida and Ranz after dropping them off in front of a tall building with a café on its ground floor.
Randell immediately leaves after dropping them off because the company where they are trying their luck is very far from their apartment and CTC.
It’s the only company that is willing to interview and wanted to check on Nida.
“Don’t be nervous. I’ll be coming in first.” Ranz said, while pointing at the café. “Can you watch me while you’re in the café? I’ll be interviewed on the seventh floor.”
Nida and Ranz were not scheduled to be interviewed at the same time. Ranz was luckily scheduled first at 8 a.m., while Nida was scheduled for a 9 a.m. interview.
“Yes, I’ll be fine.”
Ranz left first, and Nida went inside the cafe.
She ordered tea and looked for a seat that had fewer people around her to make sure that no one would notice what she was doing.
She will be using her dust to monitor Ranz’s interview, and the act of using her dust, like VR glasses, is peculiar.
Although humans cannot see her dust, it will still look strange for her to be watching something others cannot see.
“This corner should be fine!” she said, and immediately commanded her dust to gather around her eyes and let her see what Ranz was doing.
“Good! I am not late! ” She said that after seeing Ranz. Ranz was just about to greet the interviewers, but a distraction came as soon as Nida was about to focus on Ranz’s interview.
“Hey, are you alright?” A guy suddenly tapped her shoulder, which made her remove her dust to see who was disturbing her.
“I am fine. Thank you for the concern.” Nida fakes a smile to avoid being bothered by a random person who doesn’t know how to mind their own business.
“Seriously? You were just staring at the wall and I thought there might be something hurting you.” Even though she’s giving the guy a look that says “fuck off,” the guy doesn’t understand her and continues to meddle with her business.
“I am really fine. Please, you may leave me alone.” She tries her best to remain polite because she doesn’t want to be rude to a random stranger who is acting out of kindness.
The guy still insisted, “There’s a clinic in this building. I can guide you there if you’re not well.”
Nida’s patience is about to snap. She can’t think of any other way to send the guy away but to be rude and blunt with him or to use her dust to knock him down.
“Oh! Now that I look closely, I think I know you!” The guy showed a eureka expression, and his eyes sparkled.
Nida’s dust that was formed into a scythe dispersed after hearing that the guy knew him.
“You do?” she asked, wondering if she as well knew the guy.
“Yes! Can’t you remember me?” Without Nida noticing, the guy had already pulled up a seat and was sharing a table with her.
“I only knew a few people. I am sure I don’t miss you in my memory.” She replied.
“Oh, am I not that very uninteresting?” The guy appeared sad in front of Nida. The guy cutely pouted his lips, but no matter how much she dug into her memory, she couldn’t recognize the man in front of her.
He had brown hair and brown eyes, and he gave her the CEO vibes she’d seen in dramas.
She thought inwardly. He doesn’t look plain, and he is quite attractive, but not as attractive and head-turning as Ranz and Randell.
In reality, the guy in front of her was also a head turner, and some of the ladies inside the café were sneaking some glances toward him, but Nida’s standards of handsome became very high after living with two handsome men.
“I don’t know. Or maybe you mistook me for someone else,” she replied.
“You’re making me sad. I thought I left an impression on you. But I guess we didn’t formally introduce ourselves to each other at that time.”
The guy kept throwing his bright smile toward Nida, and she just tilted her head because she really couldn’t tell who the guy was.
“We met at a job interview a few weeks ago. You really left an impression that time. You really bravely shouted your name! ”
Nida stood up, and her face turned instantly red upon remembering her most embarrassing moment and soon realized who the guy was in front of her.
“Y-you’re the guy I met at the entrance!” She shouted, and that made everyone look at her.
She returned to sitting and hid her face, which had turned extremely red.
“It’s nice that you can remember me now. Hi, I am Juswa Nolasco.” The guy brightly introduced himself and held out his hand for a handshake.
“Yeah, yeah, nice to meet you.” Nida ignored Juswa’s hand. “Did you approach me to make fun of me? I know I am stupid for failing that test! Please leave me alone!” Nida buried her face in her hands.
“You’re not the only one who failed. I failed too.” Juswa said, still with his sparkling eyes and bright smile. Nida frowned at seeing his expression, wondering what the guy wanted from her.
“What do you mean?”
“I failed too. That’s the reason I am here.” The guy showed his company ID, showing that he is working at the company where Ranz and Nida will be interviewed.
“How did you fail?” she asked curiously.
“A lot of other applicants laughed at your loud introduction.”
“Ugh, stop reminding me of that!” Nida shakes her head to refuse hearing about her failure. Juswa finds Nida’s actions cute and continues telling her what happened after she left the testing area.
“Okay, so after you left, we thought we were safe because we didn’t do the clapping and shouting our name, but we failed anyway because we filled in our name. Some were late in discovering the content of the instruction and had already answered some items.”
“So how many did pass that test?” Nida is starting to feel slightly better after knowing that she’s not the only stupid one.
“I think six to ten people. I am not sure because I left the room in frustration. I drank a lot after that day. It’s still early in the morning, and that test ruined my entire day!”
“Oh, my bad for saying this, but I am glad I was not the only one who had a bad day that time.”
“Everyone had a bad day! That damn company lost a lot of better employees for giving out these weird tests!”
“Haha! You’re right! They lost us!”
Nida smiled brightly for the first time in front of Juswa, and that made Juswa smile as well.
“Flirting?” a low-tone voice suddenly whispered in Nida’s ears. Her smile disappeared as she slowly turned her head to the person that was emitting such a dark aura.
“R-ranz?” she nervously said his name.
“Shit, I forgot about him.”
