Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 144

“Let go of her.” Randell firmly said to the three men, even though he knew he was weaker than the three.

He felt like he had become a main character in the drama he watched on TV when the male lead helped the weak female lead get away from getting harassed. Even though the male lead doesn’t have the power to fight alone, he still bravely shielded the female lead, took her hands, and ran away with her.

That was what Randell planned before he bravely approached the three bulky men. He plans to take Lady’s hand and run away with her, but real life is nothing like the dramas on TV. Before he could say another word, the fist of one of the goon-like guys appeared in his vision and soon landed in front of his face, breaking his nose and causing him to bleed.

“Oh my! Sir Randell!” The lady panicked and supported Randell, who was about to fall.

“Fucking mind your own business!” The three guys shouted and were about to hit Randell again, but the sound of the police siren made the three guys panic and hurriedly leave the scene. Upon hearing the siren, Lady also panics and tries to leave the scene.

“My car is over there.” Randell pointed to where the parking was, and Lady supported Randell as he walked toward his car.

The police came but didn’t see them because they were already inside the car.

“Oh my gosh! Sir, your nose is not stopping bleeding!” Lady said as she used all the tissue on Randell’s car, but his nose was not stopped bleeding at all. “Y-you need to go to the hospital.”

“No, it’s okay.” Randell tapped Lady’s shoulder because she was about to leave the car seat and swap seats with him so that she could drive her to the hospital. “This will stop later. I know it is not my business, but who are those guys? Shouldn’t we report them to the police first?”

“No. They are loan sharks. They can easily get away if I report them. I will have a hard time paying afterwards.” Lady shared while trying to avoid Randell’s gaze.

They only met once, and they shouldn’t be in a situation like this because they are not yet close enough to share problems.

“Why do you even have to borrow from them? Perhaps you borrowed from them, not knowing they were loan sharks?”

Randell doesn’t want to judge Lady, but he doesn’t get why people keep loaning money to loan sharks, even though it’s pretty obvious that the loan sharks won’t treat them well as debtors and expect a higher interest rate from them. Couldn’t they just trust the bank for a more secure and legal way to borrow money?

“I know they are loan sharks, but I have no choice. As a person who lacks credit stability, I can’t loan to a bank because I lack the capacity to pass the evaluation for a loan. That is why I have no choice but to lean on loan sharks. ”

“You didn’t pass the evaluation? Then that means you can’t pay any type of debt. Then why did you still push for a loan?” Randell still asked, with his curiosity.

“Because I am desperate to have money! Sir Randell, perhaps you are a silver spoon?” Lady exclaimed and looked at Randell strangely. Lady can’t believe that a grown man doesn’t understand the struggle of adults for money. She feels like she is talking to a freshly graduated student who still sees the world in color and has not yet discovered the dark side yet.

“Silver spoon? me?” Randell scoffed at what Lady had said, but later agreed a little bit with Lady’s words. “Oh, really? Maybe I was.” Randell remembers how he never struggled financially. His adoptive parents gave him almost everything he wanted as a child and never starved him. When he returned ten years later as Ranz, Ranz already had a good, stable job, so he didn’t have to worry about money because it came without his effort. When he thought about it, he wanted to thank Ranz and his adoptive parents for making his life much better.

“Am I a freeloader?” Randell eyes opened wide, looking straight at the lady, acting surprised. He asked Lady as if he had just realized he was a slacker.

“W-why ask me?” Lady was flustered with Randell’s innocent question, and they both looked at each other with shocked expressions, and later they chuckled together.

“Haha! What is this, sir?”

“Haha! I don’t know why I am even asking!”

The two laughed loudly together before they could continue a serious conversation again.

“So those are loan sharks? I am sorry for judging you just a while ago, but how do you plan to pay them off? Is your job not paying that well?” Randell asked again after they felt less awkward with one another. ”

“My job is paying well, but my debt is just too huge that I can’t seem to see the end of it.” Lady made a long sigh and mumbled. “If only someone could lend me money again.”

“Paying off debt with debt will bury you more in debt.” Randell knew the basics, even though he was clueless about the current financial struggle of other adults.

“I know, but what else can I do if they threaten me with my life as well?” Lady heaved a sigh again. “Well, never mind. I’ll get by, maybe. Thank you for saving me anyway.”

He then asked the lady another personal question. Randell looked at his hand as he could no longer feel his nose bleeding. “May I know how much you owe them?” Randell inquired, as he couldn’t help but be interested in Lady’s business.

“It has six zeros,” the lady replied, while covering her face in embarrassment.

“Million?” Randell shouted. That made the lady cover Randell’s mouth, even though no one else would hear them. She still felt embarrassed about it.

“Don’t announce it to the world!” She shyly said as she is now leaning on Randell’s body while still covering Randell’s mouth.

Without noticing, the car was too small for their bickering. They had so much skinship by just talking inside the car.

“Wow. What did you use it for?” Randell doesn’t feel anything or feel embarrassed, even though the lady is leaning on him or even though their skin is touching. He is more curious about the story behind Lady’s debt. Lady looked very proud and strong when they were at the university, but now she looked like another person, especially when she was wearing a spaghetti top and showing off her tattooed arms.

“I used it to start a tattoo shop, but it went out of business and I am still buried in the debt.”

Like Randell, Lady didn’t mind their awkward position as they talked. Lady was so embarrassed about her debt that she forgot to be ashamed of her actions inside the car now.

“That s-aah!” Randell shouted in surprise when the door he was leaning on suddenly opened and left him holding onto the steering wheel with one hand, trying not to fall with Lady leaning on top of his chest.

“Oh my Randell! Can’t you afford a hotel?” Nida shouted, as she was the one who opened the car’s door, thinking that Randell had fallen asleep inside the car while waiting for them to go off to work. She didn’t expect that Randell would have an intimate moment inside. But, at the same time, she is excited and happy that Randell is attempting to meet someone other than her.

“Miss, sorry for bothering you. We are leaving!” Ranz interjected and pushed Nida away from the car. They were about to leave the couple alone when they heard Randell scream again.

“Aaaah! Y-youuuuu”

“What happened?”

Nida and Ranz walked back to the car and peeked at what happened because Randell sounded in pain.

“Oh! I was trying to get up, but I kneeled on his balls.” Lady responded, unsure of what to do because Randell was in pain.

“Haha-.” Nida was about to laugh loudly, but Ranz covered her mouth to stop her, while Randell glared at her. “hehe. Sorry. Is junior hurt?” Nida’s baby talked in front of Randell and touched Randell’s crouch without hesitation to heal it with her divine powers.

Randell just let Nida do it because it’s the easiest way to ease the pain, while Ranz just heaved a sigh. However, Lady, who doesn’t know that Nida has divine powers, sees what Nida did as perverted and weird. Lady is watching Nida comfort Randell’s crouch from being in pain from getting kneeled on.

“Does your pipi still hurt?” Nida asked after completely healing it.

“Don’t call it pipi,” Randell grumbles as the embarrassment sinks in to him.

“Yes sir! So anyway, Continue with your date! We are going to date as well..” Nida winked before leaving Randell and Lady inside the car and dragging Ranz away from the car.
