Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 123
Thud!
“Hmm? What was that?” Ranz was woken up by the thud sound. The living room was dark, which is why he needed his eyes to adjust first, but the moment he tried to move, he felt something warm and soft leaning on his body.
“Ugh!” he loudly groaned when the lights suddenly opened.
“Why are you two naked?” Randell shouted.
Ranz just looked up at Randell because he was still in a daze from waking up.
“What are you saying?” he asked, but he immediately jolted up after finally realizing what was happening.
“W-why is Nida naked? AHH! Why am I naked?” He panicked and crawled away from Nida, hiding behind the sofa.
“Why are you asking me? You too are the one naked together here.” Randell couldn’t stop frowning, and he hurriedly brought a towel to cover Nida’s body. He then carried her from lying on the floor to her bedroom.
“Aren’t you going to get dressed?” Randell asked while glaring at Ranz. He was visibly angry, which scared Ranz. Ranz’s mind is in a state of chaos as he tries to remember how he and Nida ended up naked together.
Ranz hurriedly picked up his clothes that were lying on the floor and put them on in front of Randell.
Cling clang
He accidentally kicked a bottle of beer, which made Randell frown even more.
“Did you two drink again? Didn’t I tell you, you can’t drink alone!” Randell shouted and was about to hit Ranz, but he stopped midway. Ranz just covered his face with his arms and closed his eyes while waiting for Randell’s hand.
“S-sorry.” He apologized after Randell’s hand didn’t touch him.
“Tell me what happened. Hurry!” Randell crossed his arms after pointing at the floor to make Ranz kneel down, which Ranz did without complaint because he felt guilty and wanted to beat himself up too.
“N-nida passed and was hired on the spot. We wanted to celebrate, so we had wine at first, but she boasted that she could make a good cocktail, so we had some cocktails. Then she suggested that it was best to finish it with beer, so we had some beer. After that, I don’t remember anymore.” Ranz explained while kneeling and avoiding Randell’s gaze.
“You should refuse to drink!”
“She was too happy and I didn’t want to break her celebration and let her do whatever she wanted. Sorry.”
There was an agonizing silence between them after Randell stopped scolding him and just stared at him for minutes.
There’s no way Ranz will harm Nida; he loves her more than I do. He thought internally as he completely knew that the two were the original lovers.
But he still can’t express how he feels right now…
Jealousy
angry?
Worry?
He heaved a loud, long sigh before turning around.
“I’ll be resting now. Clean up.”
Bam!
Randell slams the door and leaves Ranz in the living room alone.
“Aaaaaaaahhhh!” Ranz screamed, but without sound. He grabbed his hair and hit his head on the floor.
“What did I do?” he asked in trepidation. He tries his best to recall what happened and how they ended up lying in the living room naked, but his mind is completely blank.
Ranz was in a daze for a while and remained kneeling in the middle of the messy living room.
“Am I getting kicked out tomorrow?” He was worried as he slowly stood up from kneeling.
He started picking up their trash and bottles of alcohol lying on the floor. He decided to clean it and worry about it tomorrow.
“Then she’s naked now? Will she be cold?” He asked as he stared at Nida’s closed bedroom door. he wonder where is Nida’s clothes because it is not around the living room.
“Where did she throw her clothes?” He went inside Nida’s room to check on her.
“Randell wrapped him up securely.” Ranz commented after seeing Nida’s state.
She looked like she was inside a cocoon, as she was wrapped in two layers of blankets.
Ranz hurriedly went out of his room and resumed cleaning and washing the dishes.
“Hmm? What’s this?” Ranz picked up the box of cake Randell dropped upon seeing them naked together.
“Can this be saved?” He brought the green tea cake to the kitchen and tried to reshape it again. He thought that Randell really knew Nida’s taste.
“All is cleaned and fixed. The only thing I can’t fix is my own mess.” Ranz said while he looked around the living room. The room became sparkling clean, but it didn’t satisfy Ranz or make him feel better. He still wants to smash his head in shame. He looked at the wall clock and it said 3 in the morning. He didn’t notice that he had been cleaning for a long time, but he didn’t feel sleepy at all.
Haa—
“What’s wrong with me?”
He started to count sheep while sitting on the couch, and later on, dream finally visited him.
“Hey, hey, Ranz, why are you sleeping here?” Nida lightly tapped Ranz’s cheeks.
“Aaah!!” Ranz jolted up after seeing Nida’s face the moment he opened his eyes.
He nervously walked backwards away from Nida.
“What? What’s wrong? You look like you saw a ghost.” Nida innocently approached him while Ranz panicked as his face became red.
“Why are you approaching me like nothing happened?” Ranz shouted and tried to get away from Nida, but Nida just tilted her head and smirked.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you acting like a virgin? It’s not new; we’ve done it before. Why do you act like you are pure and innocent?” She shrugged her shoulders and moved to the kitchen.
Ranz followed her, still trembling and blushing. “Did what? What happened last night? Do you remember what happened?” Ranz shouted, but he halted once he saw Randell mixing fried rice on the counter.
He backed away and hid by the door. He slightly peeked his head to talk to Nida.
“I blanked out. I don’t know what happened. This is not an excuse! I really can’t remember!”
“Wow, how could you forget what happened to us last night?” Nida acted hurt and hugged herself. Ranz panicked and slowly went inside the kitchen.
“W-what happened? I really don’t know.” Ranz said, with a trembling voice.
“Want me to tell you?” Nida inquired as to which Ranz responded with a quick nod.
“You stripped me, then touched my beep and beep me in the beep beep beep and pushed me through the beep beep beep beep.” Nida doesn’t have a problem speaking out with such a detailed story of what happened on their steamy night. She does not have even an inch of embarrassment because of everything she said.
While Ranz turned red and immediately kneeled down in front of her,
“I have sinned! I really don’t know what I have done due to alcohol!” He shouted, to which Nida responded with a loud laugh.
“W-what’s going on?” Ranz asked, as he finally realized that Nida was teasing him while Randell was just calmly listening to them. Randell’s expression is not that of someone who is angry anymore, but rather someone who is in a good mood. After all, he is making them breakfast.
“Haha! Really? Randell! Randell! Look at him! He really can’t remember!” Nida laughed while pointing at Ranz.
Ranz stood up and glared at Nida.
“What is this all about?”
“You don’t have to worry now, Ranz. Nothing happened between you two.” Randell calmly said and smiled at Ranz. “Sorry for getting angry last night.”
“Why? Why? Did you beat him after seeing us naked?” Nida asked nonchalantly.
“I almost did.” Randell responded with a fake cough.
“Good thing you held on, or else you’ll regret it by the morning.” Nida casually sat beside Randell and started eating the food Randell prepared.
“Why are you two casually talking about this?” He was confused because it still didn’t change the fact that they were laying naked together.
“Don’t worry, Ranz. It’s not actually your fault, so get up.” Randell pulled him up to stand and pushed him toward the dining table.
“W-what? What’s wrong with you two?” He stands up again and looks at the two shiftily.
Randell said to Nida, “Hey, stop teasing Ranz and tell him what really happened.”
“Aw, he is so cute to tease.” Nida laughed loudly again, but Randell threw the table napkin in Nida’s face. “Really, you’re such a KJ, Randell.” Nida threw the napkin back to Randell after it landed in her face. She continued to act careless and smiled at Ranz.
“Don’t worry much. Here, I return your memory.” Nida walked close to Ranz, and Nida’s dust pushed him down to sit.
Kiss!
Ranz’s face turned red once again after Nida kissed him on the forehead. He was about to push Nida away and complain about her excessive mischievous acts at that moment, but he halted, and soon the record of what happened last night zapped into his mind like a flashback.
“Nida, you should stop drinking from now on.”
