The Woman From Hell

The room was not cleaner than the living room. It was like a pig's den.

My eyes had gone wide, I had never seen such a messy room in all the years I was alive.

"Are you... raising pigs in here?"

Marius hurriedly came in front of me to block my view before pushing me out. "I already told you not to go in. Now my image is completely ruined." He looked frustrated.

As it turned out, he was nervous because of this.

I cleared my throat and replied, "How about I help you tidy up?"

"No. if President Grant finds out, he'll have my head." Marius waved his hand repeatedly as he closed the door behind him with the other hand.

After confirming that Marius was okay, I could finally relax. "Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow."

Marius likely caught the change in my expression and smiled treacherously. "Judging from your range of expressions, did you think I was going to move away?" Admittedly, I did.

"Yes. Your living room made it look like you were going to leave. I was shocked. I'm telling you, if you dare disappear quietly into the night then our friendship ends." I was not joking.

Catching a glimpse of the seriousness of my expression, Marius chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't do that."

"That would be the best. I'll be off first then if nothing else."
