"Why don't you have a dog smell on you? You must have rolled around in a dog's nest before you came to work!" Winston angrily stared at Emily: "It smells terrible! Go back and change all your clothes. If you don't, don't even think about having lunch!"
Emily tried to explain: "Oh? But I don't have any other clothes... "
"I don't care! Just make sure you don't smell like a dog anymore. Go out!" Winston pressed the button, and the elevator door opened. Emily could only sadly walk out.
As the elevator door closed behind her, Emily rubbed her eyes. She hurried to her office to look for colleagues who had finished their lunch to borrow clothes from, intentionally explaining the smell on her body, ensuring that she would wash her clothes tomorrow for her colleagues.
Her colleagues also knew Winston was a weirdo, so they didn't hesitate to lend her clothes and curiously sniffed her, unable to understand: "There's no scent! Winston is so annoying, and he must be sick! What's wrong with dogs? Dogs are adorable. Why doesn't he like them? We should deliberately put some dogs in the office, and they will annoy him to death!"
Emily thanked the girls, changed her clothes, and washed her hands before heading to the cafeteria. However, she did not expect Winston to stand at the restaurant's entrance. Was he waiting for her?
Emily carefully passed by and said: "I have changed my clothes. Can we eat now?"
Winston did not answer but asked angrily: "Be honest with me! Did you touch a dog?"
Emily wanted to say no, but a memory flashed through her mind, and she was stunned: "A... last night I saw a big dog, but I didn't touch it, I assure you!"
"A big dog... " Winston's voice sounded somewhat doubtful, and he wanted to continue interrogating her. Emily's stomach suddenly growled, and her face turned red.
"... Hmph." Winston's anger diminished, and he scolded: "Are you here to eat? Go get the rice for me!"
"Yes... " Emily hurriedly entered the dining room and took two meal cards from her wallet, hers and Winston's. He was too lazy to buy rice and always delegated this task to her, which meant she had to remember what he liked to eat.
She angrily carried two lunch boxes to the table and put the chopsticks in front of Winston. The intense fragrance filled his nostrils as her arm passed before his nose.
What kind of dog? How could a dog have such a strong scent? What did this damn woman touch?
Winston was furious, but when he saw Emily's cautious and pitiful appearance, he snorted and picked up the chopsticks to eat despite the unpleasant smell. Emily ate like a hungry tiger, and Winston watched as she stuffed food into her mouth like a squirrel.
"Did you fail the date last night? Was it because the person you met with made you cry?"
Emily stopped her chopsticks and looked up at Winston. Her eyes showed a trace of sadness: "Can we not talk about it?"
"No." Winston didn't say anything and took the lunch box from her: "If you don't speak, don't expect to eat! Quickly tell me, what did he do to make you cry?"
Emily almost thought he cared about her if it weren't for his nasty personality. She looked at Winston, who took away her lunch box, unable to say anything, and whispered: "It's nothing. Just that I liked him, but he didn't like me back... Please don't bother him anymore."
"Haha." Winston laughed arrogantly and returned the lunch box to her: "That's why I told you not to go on a date! People like you, who would even go on a date, are just inviting humiliation! Haha!"
As he spoke hurtful words, Emily felt gloomy and sorrowful. She couldn't help but cry, thinking this bastard was bullying her.
With a cold and imposing expression, Wolfgang's face wrinkled before relaxing for a while, and then he slowly got up from the carpet. Most of the belongings in the house remained intact, with only two sharp claw marks on the expensive rug, likely made when he couldn't bear the pain of transforming.
He slowly dressed and walked to the villa's window close to the ground. His clear glass window reflected his figure, a muscular and perfect male body without any trace of a werewolf's features.
Wolfgang stood quietly for a moment, and then his mouth slowly curved into a smile because of his increasing control over his powers. On the other hand, werewolves would lose their humanity and turn into beasts, destroying any living creatures they saw during a full moon, leaving only a trail of bloody mess behind.
But not him. He didn't need medication to control his transformation. He could handle himself in a fixed location during the change. He could hold his killing instinct in his inner self and then wait peacefully for the full moon to pass.
Although this substantial control was achieved through years of training without interruption and enduring pain and suffering, Wolfgang felt it was worth it. Because he always wanted to live everyday human life, unlike other members of his clan, who had to live in deep forests and barren mountains, never seeing the sunlight.
Wolfgang carefully recalled yesterday's events after his transformation and he could only remember a few scattered fragments. Still, to him, it was a step forward because usually, after transforming during a full moon, the killer instinct would completely take over the brain, leaving no memory of anything.
But now he remembered deeply that his claws tore apart the carpet after transforming and threw his mobile phone outside.
"Wait, the phone!"
Wolfgang suddenly remembered the phone call he had received in a critical situation last night!
He searched the entire room, finally finding the phone under the. Fortunatelytely, it wasn't broken. Wolfgang opened the note and glanced at it. The latest call showed the caller was...
Emily.
Oh, the girl he had a date with last night was adorable.
He couldn't remember what they talked about last night in their situation, but it could have been more impressive. He sighed, arranged his words in his heart, and dialed her number.
Emily's phone rang, which was just as lovely as hers. Wolfgang gently smiled. After a while, the soft music ended, and Emily's cautious and suspicious voice came from the other end: "Are you... okay?"
"Miss Emily, this is Wolfgang." He tried his best to use the gentlest tone to speak.
"Oh... I, I know. Did you call me for something? Did you dial the wrong number?"
Emily's voice sounded very anxious, a bit annoyed. Wolfgang couldn't help but knock on his forehead and said: "Last night, I had something urgent so that I might have said some hurtful things to you... I am truly sorry. I know this might seem forced, but to express my remorse, can you agree to let me invite you to the movies?"
Emily paused for a moment before saying: "Really?"
"Yes, I guarantee I won't show the same attitude as last night. I assure you that I'm not the same person as last night."
"Okay... alright then."
Wolfgang breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for giving me this opportunity. Are you free tonight?"
"Yes, I am."
"Great, can I pick you up after work tonight? Can you give me your company address?"
Emily gave him her work address, agreed on a time, and then politely hung up the phone.
Sitting on the salon chair, Wolfgang remembered every gesture, every word of Emily's from last night. It was highly flexible and had a youthful breath, like a warm stream for someone who had been alone for many years like him. He remembered resisting when his parents wanted him to go on a blind date, but now he thought it might have been a good opportunity.
At the same time, Emily was holding her phone, standing bewildered in the restroom in the lobby.A colleague patted her on the shoulder: "Emily, are you okay? Did Winston pressure you to the point of being mentally unstable?"Emily shook her head, then suddenly jumped three feet high, shouting: "Ahhh! He's not angry! He's not angry! He's taking me to the movies, ha ha ha! My love flower hasn't withered yet, ha ha ha ha ha ha, I'm so happy!"The colleague didn't understand but laughed: "You're talking nonsense about something?"Emily grabbed the other person's hand and shook it back and forth: "My target for dating is taking me to the movies tonight!""Oh, you're so happy. It looks like you finally succeeded in your blind date. Congratulations, congratulations."Emily let her colleague leave and happily spun around in the restroom before returning to her office.Because of her excitement, her work performance in the afternoon increased rapidly, and she quickly finished all the tasks Wi
By now, more than half of the customers in the restaurant had noticed Wolfgang's arrival. They all turned to look at him, causing a commotion. Emily overheard them whispering: "Wow, that man is so handsome!"Someone even took out their phone to take a picture of him.Suddenly, Emily felt a sense of pride, but as she thought about how she and Wolfgang would go their separate ways later tonight, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. She reminded herself that Wolfgang had made it clear he wasn't interested in her and tried to cherish the present moment for future memories.Wolfgang handed her the menu and said: "You choose."Remembering that he liked meat, Emily pointed to few meat dishes and asked: "Will these be enough for you?"Wolfgang chuckled and apologized: "I'm afraid not. I didn't feel full after eating hot pot last night. But it's okay, and you can eat your fill."Emily was surprised by how much he could eat. She doubted: "Do you cook for yourself every day? Isn't it exha
Emily quickened her pace but suddenly heard Wolfgang's voice from behind: "Miss Emily, wait a moment."She stopped, and her heart skipped a beat. Turning to look at him: "Yes, what's up?"Wolfgang took off his coat and put it on her: "It's late, be careful not to catch a cold. Also... if you're willing, I want to continue meeting with you. How do you feel about that?"... Late at night, all the shops on the street were closed except for one drink shop that was still open.A couple who had just left the movie theater walked in front of it but couldn't help but stop after only going a short distance.Because not far from that drink shop, at least thirty cats were gathered! Their colors were different, but they all had shiny fur and round bodies that indicated they were well-cared for. At this moment, the cats huddled together, looking up at the man in the button-up shirt standing before them, their tails swishing back and forth.However, the man did not seem pleased as he scolded the c
It's said that people with poor mental states feel that time passes more slowly, while those with good moods think entirely differently. Before, Emily didn't have much emotion about this, but since she started dating Wolfgang, time seemed to fly quickly, as if it were fleeing her.Going to work every day was no longer suffering for her but rather a type of anticipation. This was because almost every day after work, Wolfgang would wait for her outside the company's door, and they would either have dinner together or watch a movie. Emily's face was filled with happiness every day, yet for some reason, her boss Winston's face grew darker and darker.For example, just now, Emily had just sent him the completed documents and received Winston's cold words:Winston: "You're completely foolish! I told you to leave a space between the rows, but you didn't do it!"Recently, Emily's mood has been excellent. No matter what he said to her, she didn't care and replied: "Uh, sorry! I'll resend it to
Her stomach kept hurting, and she didn't know how she got home. Wolfgang found the key in her purse, opened the door to the room, put Emily on the bed, and then asked: "Shall I prepare some hot water for you?"Emily nodded and waited for him to boil water. She looked for a charging bag to keep warm and snuggled under the covers, feeling uneasy about taking a day off work tomorrow because of the pain from her menstrual cycle. She had to take advantage of having some strength left to call Winston and ask for a day off, or he would get angry.Emily thought to herself, and Wolfgang came in with the hot water. He sat beside the bed and handed her a white porcelain cup, saying: "It's my first time at your house, and I couldn't find a cup, so I used this instead."Emily weakly nodded and sipped the hot water, feeling the warmth spread throughout her body. Despite feeling embarrassed, Wolfgang's sincere words warmed her heart: "It's okay. Thank you for taking me home."Wolfgang shook his head
After searching the kitchen, he found nothing suitable to make soup with except for some spicy hot pot. Wolfgang remembered when he and Emily had eaten hot pot a few days ago and decided to use it. He boiled water and poured the entire hot pot into the pool.As the soup boiled, there was a loud knocking on the door. A strange man was calling out: "Emily, open the door. Hurry up!"Wolfgang was afraid of waking Emily, so he hurriedly turned off the stove and ran to open the door. Standing before him was the strange man who had been staring at him in front of Emily's company the other day.Both men stared at each other in shock.Winston regained his composure and frowned, his eyes revealing his hostility towards Wolfgang. He coldly asked: "Why are you in Emily's house?"Wolfgang calmly replied: "Yesterday, she felt uncomfortable with stomach pain, so I took her home. Can I ask you a question? What are you to Emily?"Winston was furious. How dare this guy ask him such a question in that t
After washing her face, Emily remembered the conversation she had with Wolfgang in the bathroom and felt a little embarrassed but also excited.She had just left the bathroom when Wolfgang came back with breakfast. Seeing Emily looking around, he asked: "What are you looking for?"Emily scratched her head: "Why do I feel... like the living room is very tidy?""Winston, your colleague, arranged it for you." Wolfgang said.Emily was surprised, looked at Wolfgang, and felt anxious inside. She quickly explained: "No, it's not what you think! At a party with my colleagues, he came to my house once, and then he was very annoying, he liked the cleanliness, so there was nothing between us! I hate him!"Wolfgang chuckled: "I understand. He's the male colleague X you mentioned?""Yes, that's him! The demon who oppressed me!" Emily growled, carefully looking at him: "You... you shouldn't misunderstand, I... I just... ""Just what?" Wolfgang looked at her, not understanding.In the end, was he cl
Wolfgang knew she was working in the afternoon and was waiting for her at the company door as usual. Emily approached him and said: "Can you wait for me for a bit? I want to go to the store next door to buy snacks for Winston."Wolfgang raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why are you buying it for him?"Emily signaled to him: "Just to go to the store next door to buy snacks. I will be back soon."Wolfgang stopped her and didn't ask much, saying: "I'll take you there. Your body is not well. You should wait in the car."Emily wanted to say something, but Wolfgang pushed her into the car, touched her head, and smiled before heading to the store.Emily was startled by his actions, and when Wolfgang was a few steps away, she shouted: "I almost forgot, he wants three boxes! Damm it!"Wolfgang kept walking and replied: "I know."As he walked, Emily looked at his broad-shouldered figure, admiring his perfectly curved muscles accentuated by his intricately tailored clothes. She thought about how h
