All Chapters of Haunted Roommate: She's the Ghost Who Babysits Me: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Rick and I weren't exactly the best of friends.He came from money and always had his nose in the air at the office. He especially despised people like me—the kind who would fight just to get a few bucks off with a coupon.I opened the door.Rick waved a hand in front of his scrunched-up nose, standing in the doorway, looking disgusted. "Is this where you live, Leo? This place looks like a dump."His eyes swept over my tiny one-bedroom apartment, full of contempt. "I heard your rent is suspiciously cheap. There isn't some problem with this place, is there?"I said evenly, "It's great. It's bright and spacious, and the neighbors are nice."He let out a theatrical laugh. "Neighbors? Do you even dare step out of this place in the middle of the night? I heard someone died here, you know."He was clearly just here to laugh at me. I couldn't be bothered, so I turned to close the door. Unexpectedly, he slipped inside before I could act."Come on, don't be so quick to kick me out. I wa

I worked overtime alone at the office until late into the night. Staring at the dense rows of data on my monitor made my head spin.By the time I got home, it was almost 1:00 am. There was still a warm bowl of soup sitting on the table, which warmed my heart. I finished the soup, then collapsed onto the bed and passed out.The next morning, my alarm yanked me awake. The second I opened my eyes, I remembered the work I still hadn't finished. I let out a wail, accepted my fate, and dragged myself up to turn on the computer.But when I saw the screen, I froze. My project file was already open, and inside was the data analysis I'd done halfway. What surprised me was that the rest of it had been completed by someone else—and it was done to absolute perfection too.The model setup, the data comparisons, the chain of reasoning… Every item was clearer, more precise, and more insightful than anything I could've done. There was no way this was at my level.In the bottom-right corner of the

Cold sweat instantly beaded on my forehead. I hit refresh, but there was still nothing.I checked my email. The attachment I'd sent to Stan had also turned into gibberish. How was this happening? I clearly remembered successfully uploading the file last night.Stan frowned. "Leo, what's going on?"Across from me, my rival was already wearing a smug, gloating smile. My palms were slick with sweat, and my mind was completely blank.Right then, I saw Rick standing at the meeting room door, the corner of his mouth curled into a triumphant, icy smirk.He was behind this. It had to be him.I shut my eyes in despair, thinking that it was all over. I was done for.Suddenly, the big screen in the conference room lit up on its own, making everyone jump. On the screen, a folder appeared. It was named "Final Bid Proposal: Leo Colson".Then, the folder opened by itself, and a complete PowerPoint file popped up in front of everyone. The slides started playing automatically. The first slide w

I sat at my desk and kicked off a revenge plan with Ivy that crossed the line between the living and the dead.My job was to dig for clues inside the company. Ivy, on the other hand, would use her formidable hacking skills to access the company's old servers and search for anything left from five years ago.Back then, David had wiped almost everything clean, but Ivy knew the company's systems like the back of her hand. Very quickly, she dug up several encrypted financial files from a forgotten corner of an abandoned database.Those were the pieces of evidence she never got the chance to submit five years ago. But that alone wasn't enough. We needed something more direct, something that could actually put the killer behind bars.That was how Rick became our breakthrough.I started getting close to him without tipping my hand. Because of what happened at the bidding meeting, he hated me to the core and was dying for a chance to get back at me.So, I "accidentally" let slip, right i
