Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 150

“Nida!”

Ranz loudly called out Nida’s name and barged inside her room without hesitation. He pulled the blanket that was covering her head and leaned toward her to talk closely to her.

“I know you’re not sleeping.”

“Why do you sound angry?” Nida asked after opening her eyes slowly.

“Why do you have to do that to Wendell? Did you become heartless after gaining so much power? ”

“H-heartless?” Nida pulled Ranz’s collar towards her, and that made Ranz almost on top of Nida. While Nida remains lying on her bed, she looks straight into Ranz’s eyes with a disappointed expression. “How come I became the bad guy here?”

Ranz was upset at what Nida did, and he doesn’t get why Nida was giving that disappointed look, whereas he is the one who should be disappointed by her action.

Nida tended to do eccentric or mischievous deeds a long time ago, but she never did anything hurtful to others, which is why Ranz was shocked that Nida could hurt someone now. He ends up becoming upset with himself because he knows that he is the reason why Nida turned like this.

“How come I have become heatless?”

Didn’t you send Wendell just because he interrupted our conversation? You should not use your powers for that reason! ”

Nida feels like crying and suddenly it becomes hard to breathe.

She initially assumed it was due to exhaustion and the draining of her power, but it is her heart that is aching right now.She knew she did wrong by sending Wendell flying, but that does not automatically make her heartless.

Nida was frustrated that she could not finish what she was about to confess.

Nida was frustrated that Ranz was too slow at advancing on her these days.

Nida was frustrated that they couldn’t have their own time to talk without being disturbed.

Everything becomes annoying and frustrating to her nowadays, but does that really make her the heartless one?

No matter how frustrated she is,

No matter how much she feels heavy in her chest,

She decided not to swell up.

She was clear that Ranz was the one she liked, but suddenly it became hard to put a label on their relationship.

“Okay, fine, sorry!” Nida shouted while covering herself with her blanket, but Ranz pulled the blanket away again and held up Nida’s hand to stop her from pulling back the blanket.

“You’re not sorry at all. You shouldn’t be treating someone weaker than you like that! Nida, you don’t have to be like this. ” Ranz said it in a gentler tone, but it irritated Nida even more.

Nida doesn’t get what Ranz is talking about, but it’s obvious that Ranz is looking at the old Nida and not the current priestess Nida. Now that Nida thought about it, Ranz showed the same expression when he discovered that Nida had worked in the underworld before. The same frustrated expression as if it was comparing the current with the old Nida, who was a nave and happy teenage girl.

“What do you mean I should be like? I am who I am now. What are you expecting? After you two almost ripped my back with your claws and broke my bones, Do you expect me to remain happy-go-lucky? Do you expect me to be mentally fine after being labeled crazy for warning them about werewolves? Do you think I’ll be fine after having had a nightmare for ten years? No, Ranz! But still! I will still try to like the two of you! I still want to be with the two of you! But now you are going to dictate to me what I should be feeling? Like what my father did to me? Ranz, fuck off!Fuck off! ”

Nida could not hold on to her tears any longer and cried while shouting at Ranz. She was not hating the twins anymore because she was aware that Ranz and Randell were victims as well, but she couldn’t help but get emotional as she couldn’t easily forget the hardship and nightmare she experienced a long time ago. And the way Ranz scolded her now was the same way her father treated her and tried to control her a long time ago.

When she was young and nave, she thought she had the most loving family, with parents that could provide her with both love and wealth, but it was just an illusion. Nida’s mother doesn’t entirely love her; her mother’s priority is her husband, while Nida’s father was so overcome with political power that he could do anything for his position. And that includes making Nida the perfect daughter who is excellent at everything she does. Nida’s family was already rotting before she could know, and the werewolf attack was the one that uncovered the pungent family.

Nida hated it when someone was controlling her, which is why she disagreed with Mila’s plan.

Nida hated being played. That is why she despised everyone who tried to alter her memories.

And now that Ranz was trying to teach her how she should use her divine powers, it is making Nida angry. Even if she decided to like him more, there is no exemption if someone tries to control her.

Nida only wanted to be free.

“It’s not—” Ranz was stunned seeing Nida crying, and he couldn’t think of the right word to calm her and apologize to her. Ranz only wanted Nida to realize that what she did was wrong, but he didn’t expect that she would breakdown like this. Ranz hugged her instead, as the words couldn’t come out of his mouth.

“I said fuck off!” Nida slapped Ranz’s back to make him stop hugging Nida, but Ranz hugged her tighter. He didn’t know if apologizing was the right move and just remained silent as he used his cheeks to wipe Nida’s tears.

“W-what a weird way to wipe tears.” Nida commented as she finally calmed down and felt embarrassed about her sudden outburst.

She tried to push Ranz away from her, but Ranz refused to move away and just held her arms up again. He managed to hold Nida’s hands with only one hand.

“You said apologizing to you doesn’t make you feel better.” Ranz seriously shared, looking down at her. “So I won’t apologize. Instead, from now on, I’ll stick like glue to you. You can treat me like a slave.” Ranz volunteered because he was hoping to make Nida feel better.

“You’re a real RL—.”

Thud!

Ranz and Nida were about to make up again, but suddenly the door opened and the lady fell on the floor.

“Randell’s girlfriend? Do you need something?” Nida asked as he looked annoyed again at another interruption to their conversation. Nida wondered when they could have a proper conversation without anyone disturbing them.

“W-what do you think you’re doing?”

Of course, Lady loves to misunderstand things, and she misunderstands Ranz and Nida’s situation again.

Nida is crying while Ranz is on top of Nida and holding both of Nida’s arms. “Lady immediately walked up to the two and pushed Ranz away from Nida.

“I thought it was Nida the bitch, but it was Randell’s brother who might be the beast!” Lady thought to herself as she thought that maybe Ranz was the one controlling Nida and making both Randell and Nida suffer.

“I-it’s not what you think!” Ranz exclaimed as he pushed himself up from the side of the bed.

Lady helped Nida to get up and moved the bed away.

“You predator!” Lady yelled angrily at Ranz and shielded Nida from him.

“Oh! Wait. He is not doing anything wrong! I am fine. Nida grabbed Lady’s hand to make her look at Nida.

“It’s pretty obvious he’s forcing you! Let’s call the police! You don’t have to be scared!” Lady dragged Nida out of her bedroom to get her phone. She dragged Nida with her because she had left Nida alone in the bedroom again.

“Oh! No! No! I am really fine! We are just arguing over something! It’s not what you think!” Nida took Lady’s phone to stop her from contacting an emergency call.

Lady was frustrated again as she saw Nida’s situation with Randell, thinking Nida was not aware that she was a victim as well and being treated badly.

“No! This is definitely not fine! This home is not fine! ” Lady insisted on making Randell and Nida escape away from Ranz.

“What is happening?” Randell exited the kitchen after hearing such a commotion and seeing Nida’s messed-up face, and Lady has returned to her hysterical state.

“Ah, Randell. Your girlfriend is misunderstanding things. Please clear this up for us. ” Ranz also went out of the bedroom and looked drained.

“She’s not my girlfriend, Ranz.” Randell’s response

“She’s not.” Ranz and Nida asked at the same time.

Lady was embarrassed with the two reactions and said, “I know you are all shocked with me being too nosy, even though me and Randell are not even close. But I can not let this be! Each one of you is living the wrong way! Please stop physically abusing each other! ”

Nida was too stunned to continue her emotional breakdown and her tears had also dried up. She then made a light nudge toward Randell and asked, “What’s wrong with her?”
