Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 125

“Hmm? Why am I in bed?”

Nida struggled to get out of the thick wrap of blankets around her body.

She drained her powers after healing and altering Ranz’s memory and collapsed on top of him.

She was not surprised that he was naked, but she was more curious about Randell’s reaction. She expects him to go home and witness their messed up state.

Should I tease them?

She gets up, washes up, and gets dressed. She walked out of her bedroom only to be welcomed by Randell, who was standing in front of her door with a dark, scary look on his face.

“G-good morning!”

“What did you do to Ranz?” Randell asked while glaring at her. Randell stayed up while thinking about what really happened to the two. He concluded that Nida might be at fault too, and seeing her refreshed look in the morning confirmed that Nida was the one who played on Ranz.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Ranz took advantage of my body. He beeped me, and beeped and beeped.”

Nida begins to use crude language in front of Randell without hesitation.

“Nida.” Randell leaned forward and menacingly looked down on her. “When did you become this mischievous?”

Randell can’t believe that his pure and innocent ex-girlfriend has become very unsophisticated and impish. He was aware that she had an eccentric personality, but she never crossed the line and still knew some morale.

“Do you think, after all that I have experienced, I won’t become twisted?” Nida stopped acting and pushed Randell away from her. “You’re no fun to tease.”

Nida walked inside the living room and stared at Ranz, who was sleeping on the couch. She actually collapsed in the middle of altering Ranz’s memory and hadn’t completed it yet, so she guessed that Ranz was confused about what really happened.

“What did Ranz tell you happened?” she asked Randell, who followed her.

“He is too drunk to remember.”

“Oh, really?” Nida smiled, which made Randell feel uncomfortable.

“You’re Nida, right?” he asked.

“Why? Should I act stupid like I used to before?”

“Stupid? You are not.” Randell wonders what’s going on inside of Nida’s head, but she looks not troubled, but more refreshed than before. “Anyway, just tell me what really happened. ”

“I drank too much and my dust became uncontrollable.” She honestly replied.

“Then why are the two of you naked?”

“My dust has become perverted!” Nida laughed as she felt ridiculous in her way of making up her own story. “It stripped us. It also made Rund dance while naked! Then we collapsed because we got too drunk.” she laughed loudly.

“Is that funny?” Randell frowned even more and pinched Nida’s cheeks in frustration. “From now on, you’re not allowed to drink.”

“Wow, who are you to order me?” Nida slapped Randell’s hand and glared at him.

“Seriously Nida, what if your dust harms both of you? It’s good that it strips only your clothes. What if it strips your skin instead? You should still be cautious of your own power.” Randell scolded Nida. He pinched her cheeks again after seeing her not taking his words seriously.

But in reality, Nida was laughing to herself. She can’t tell Randell what really happened, and yet he spoke most of what really happened last night.

“Yeah, I’ll keep that in mind.” Nida said, with her bright smile again. Randell let go of her and heaved a long sigh afterward.

“Wake him up. I am almost done making our breakfast. Come to the kitchen.”

“Yes, sir!”

Nida made a salute and watched as Randell walked out of the living room. She then checked on Ranz’s body to make sure that his body was entirely healed.

After that, their morning went well again, as Nida gave Ranz a fake memory of that night, and Randell left the house early to go to work.

“Ugh!” Ranz groaned while lying on the couch.

Nida and Ranz had nothing to do today and were just sitting in the living room watching TV to pass the time.

“Are you alright?” Nida asked, wondering if she missed her healing.

“Hangover.” Ranz bluntly responded. He rubbed his stomach, which was not feeling well. “How about you? I think you drink more than me. Why do you look so fine?”

“I have divine powers,” Nida replied.

“Wow. That’s why you have the courage to drink that much.”

“Haha. Don’t worry, I won’t drink that much again. Come here. I’ll heal you.”

Nida tapped the pillow on her lap and asked Ranz to lay his head on it.

Ranz just crawled toward Nida and rested his head on it.

“I’ll be starting to work tomorrow. You’ll be alone here.” Nida stated while gently placing her hand on Ranz’s forehead. Ranz felt a refreshing sensation absorbed into his forehead that was slowly spreading to his body.

“Oh, then I’ll be the housewife waiting for my husband to go off to work.” Ranz casually stated.

“Oh? I’m a husband too?” Nida chuckled at Ranz’s idea.

“Yep.” Ranz replied softly as he was slowly feeling better from Nida’s healing.

Nida stared at Ranz’s face and stared at the scar near his eye. She subconsciously traced her finger to the long scar.

“I was trying hard to remember what you two looked like and unintentionally copied this scar as well.”

“It’s okay, I am still handsome even with a scar.” Ranz confidently replied, which made Nida pinch Ranz’s nose.

“You really give importance to your face, huh? Then how come you got that scar if you’re too obsessed with your handsome face?” Nida wondered.

When Randell and Ranz were fighting, only Ranz’s face was unscathed. Even when her dust attacked him, Ranz protected his face more than his body. Ranz’s made it obvious that his face is more important than any part of his body, and it made Nida wonder how a scar ended up on his most precious face.

“Wendell did this to me.” Ranz frowned after remembering how he got his scar.

“Wendell? Ah, then you were also the one who put a scar on his face too?”

Nida remembers the first time she met Wendell. Not his handsome face, which is the one he noticed first, but the obvious large scar.

“Can you see his scar?” Ranz sat up and looked at Nida curiously.

“Of course, I can. You and his scars were too large to be missed. But the employees of CTC are deliberately ignoring it. Maybe because they are scared they will be fired if ever?”

“No. no. We are using a spell to hide the scar. The employees didn’t know we had scars.”

“Oh? No wonder they are all drooling over both of you.” Nida nodded upon realization.

“No. no. no. I am still handsome, even with scars.” Ranz posed with confidence.

Nida laughed at Ranz’s act and wondered about other things.

“Then how about Randell? He doesn’t have power anymore. He went to work with an obvious scar.”

“Ah, no. I heard Rudy was helping him with the spell.”

“That’s a relief.”

Nida didn’t expect Rudy to be very helpful and was thinking of a way to reward him.

“Ah!” she suddenly shouted, surprising Ranz.

“W-what?”

“I almost forgot about the tikbalang and the werewolves’ issue!”

She’s been so busy finding a job that she forgot her responsibility to others.

“What did you forget? Let the wolves alone. Wendell will take care of it.”

“No. I remember that I revived some of the wolves and horses. I need to constantly check on them. I bet Daniel would be very angry at my negligence.”

Nida now realizes why Daniel is angry at her. Daniel had been ignoring her calls and her texts asking for advice because she had forgotten to deal with the important issue.

“Let’s go see, Daniel.”

“Why are the two of you here?” Randell asked once he met Ranz and Nida at the customer lobby of CTC.

“We are waiting for Daniel. At this hour, he should be passing here.” Nida said. She is determined to meet Daniel, who is not willing to meet her. She knows what time Daniel will pass through the lobby because she used to wait for Daniel here whenever she needed something.

“Wow, you look identical, sir,” a lady interjected into their conversation. Nida just turned around and purposely avoided the lady because she was at the department where she used to work.

“Your voice sounds familiar.” Ranz responded, wondering where he heard the lady’s voice and getting unreasonably irritated by just hearing her speak.

“Ah, we look identical because we are twins.” Randell casually mentioned it to the lady.

“You have a sibling, sir?” Tthe lady asked in surprise, and at the same time, it made Ranz remember the voice of the lady.

“AH! You are the momfucker who accused me of being a scammer! You even dropped the call! That was a fucking emergency!” Ranz angrily pointed at the lady. He remembered that night he was too weak and needed help, but the lady just made his bad day worse.

“Hey! Ranz, watch your mouth!” Randell tapped Ranz’s mouth and apologized to the lady, but it didn’t make Ranz stop glaring at the lady.

“I… I was wrong! I am sorry!” The lady ran away after apologizing.
