Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 133
“Oh! Good morning, you two got accepted. Juswa approached them and had his usual dazzling, handsome smile greet both Ranz and Nida.
Unlike in his previous meetings, Juswa looked more refreshed and handsome today. And his Ceo vibes are still oozing from his aura.
Nida appreciated Juswa’s blooming beauty and smiled even more, while Ranz frowned deeply.
“I forgot that this person is an employee here.” Ranz said internally. Then he stood in between Nida and Juswa.
“Congratulations!” Juswa happily congratulates them, which Nida happily accepts.
“Thank you! Which department are you in?” Nida asked, pushing Ranz to the side.
Ranz clicked his tongue, thinking ladies these days like pale-looking guys, that tall, dark, and handsome guys have become underrated.
“Accounting department. I am the billing officer.” Juswa kindly replied, even though he noticed Ranz’s visible irritation towards him.
“Oh! accounting department? Ranz was accepted there!” Nida clapped her hand, then pushed Ranz again to face Juswa. “You can go together!”
“I can go there alone, Nida.” Ranz exclaimed.
“Oh, sir. We will be officemates now.” Juswa held out his hand for a handshake, but Ranz ignored it. “Don’t worry, I am a newbie as well. Let’s help together.”
“Hey, Ranz, don’t show your bad attitude!” Nida said and grabbed Ranz’s hands to force him to a handshake.
“Well then, I can’t be late. Please take care of Ranz.” Nida waved her hand and went in the opposite direction of where the two were going.
“Oh. I forgot to ask which department she got into.” Juswa said while looking at Ranz to ask which Nida would be going.
“I don’t know.” Ranz said while walking past ahead of Juswa. While Juswa tries hard to catch Ranz’s pace,
“Eh? I am sure you know.” Juswa said, he was still thinking that Nida and Ranz were married.
Ranz walked even faster and ignored Juswa’s friendly talk.
“Come on, sir, don’t be grumpy toward me. I won’t take your wife away. I just want to be friends with both of you.”
Ranz stopped walking, which made Juswa bump into his back.
“Wife?” Ranz faced Juswa with a confused expression.
“Didn’t you mention she was your wife?” Juswa also became confused about his own memory. “You did, right?”
“I didn’t, and we are not!” Ranz said while he blushed. Ranz thought about what he and Nida looked like together and that Juswa had mistaken them as husband and wife.
“Oh, sorry. I might be mistaken. But even so, I don’t approach her to flirt or anything else. Friends, friendship is all I want.” Juswa sincerely said.
Ranz made a fake cough because he felt relieved that he didn’t have a rival inside the company.
“Wait!! A rival? Did I just think of him as a rival? For what? Romantically?” Ranz contradicts his own thoughts and gets confused about his actions and emotions. He wanted to hit his head like he used to do when he was still a werewolf, but he couldn’t do it any more because it would surely be painful for his human body.
“Sir Ranz, are you okay?” Juswa worriedly asked because Ranz suddenly became silent and just faced the wall.
“I am fine!” Ranz snapped out of his thoughts and resumed walking down the hallway, but he stopped a moment later.
“What are you doing? Let’s go together.” Ranz said to Juswa after Juswa had stopped following him.
“Yes! Let’s go.” Juswa smiled genuinely, then he walked beside Ranz after Ranz called for him.

“G-good morning!” Nida nervously greeted the secretary of the owner who would be turning over her job to her.
“Good morning. Don’t be nervous; let’s do a good job today. ” The secretary said, with a bright, approachable smile.
“Y-yes ma’am!”
“Just call me, Elise. I have been working here for twenty-five years, and I’ll be retiring. I am glad that I’ll be turning over my job to an enthusiastic young lady like you.”
Nida felt very welcomed by the old lady in front of her.
It would be rude to ask her age, but it’s pretty obvious that she’s already around 60 years old because of her white hair and wrinkled skin.
Nida believed that LARO was a good company that could keep employees until they retired at the maximum age of sixty years old.
“Nice to meet you, ma’am Elise. I am Nida Mildea. I don’t actually have much experience in secretarial work. I hope you can give me some tips too.” She honestly stated, She hopes Elise won’t look upset at what she said.
“I will. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.” Elise said as she led Nida inside her counter.
Her seat is located near the door of the owner’s office, and she’s the only one there; there’s no other table.
“Looks lonely?” Elise asked.
“Ah, yes, but I think it’s nice because it has fewer distractions.”
“It just looks lonely, but if you’re doing your work, you won’t feel lonely, plus you’re not only here to welcome the people entering the office. You have to attend to all the needs of madam. You have to be alert all the time.” Elise started her turning over process, then Nida seriously listened to all of her instructions.
“So, madam won’t be here today?” Nida commented after checking the owner’s schedule. She was supposed to demonstrate her abilities to the person who had faith in her, but she isn’t here.
“Yes, but she will come tomorrow. Don’t worry.”
“Then who is assisting her outside business meetings? Isn’t that my job as well?”
“Ah, Actually, you have a counterpart. Sir Robert is her external secretary. While your job is to take care of internal business,”
“Wow, that’s neat.” Nida deftly takes down notes. “Then how about you, ma’am Elise. When is your last working day?” Nida wondered and thought she needed to absorb everything if the turning over was short.
“Today is my last working day.” Elise said with a caring smile, but her words made Nida frown.
“What? I- I mean why?”
Nida was dumbfounded. She suddenly felt pressured that she needed to learn everything in one day.
“Am I a robot?”
