All Chapters of My Grumpy Roommate Is My Fated Match: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

/THEO/He just stared at me with those deep blue eyes, his expression so flat it was almost impressive. Up close, he was even more intimidating—wide shoulders, a sharp jawline, and a general vibe that would make anyone be afraid to approach him.I was different of course, not that I wasn't afraid that he'd call the cops on me, in the sense that I was brave enough to approach despite his demeanor and intimidating look.I wish he wouldn't look at me like some kind of creep. He looked like some high-level accountant or a manager who took himself way too seriously, maybe that's why he was so rigid."I’m sorry," he said, his voice so deep that I gulped in surprise. I was weak for deep voices. "Do I know you?""Not yet! I'm Theo Pearson," I said, sticking my hand out. He looked at my hand like it was some foreign object and didn't move. I slowly pulled it back, tucking it into my pocket. "I heard you just got the two-bedroom. I’ve been looking for a place in this area, and honestly, I’m the

/THEO/It was the morning of the interview and I had barely been able to sleep at night because of how nervous I was. PixelPulse Studio was one of the biggest names in the industry, and getting an interview there felt like a miracle. I spent twenty minutes just trying to get my tie straight, which was a struggle because my hands wouldn’t stop shaking.I wanted to look—and smell—the part. I reached into my drawer and pulled out a bottle of cologne Mayla had given me for my last birthday. It had a nice, woody scent, something that felt more "adult" than the citrus stuff I usually wore. I dabbed a bit on my neck and wrists, hoping the scent would give me a boost of confidence.As I walked out of my room, I bumped right into Lorcan in the narrow hallway. He was heading toward the kitchen, probably for his morning caffeine fix. Usually, he’d just sidestep me like I was a piece of furniture, but today he stopped dead in his tracks.His nostrils flared, and his blue eyes narrowed as they sw

/THEO/The guy chuckled, stepping closer. "Don't sweat it, newbie. Everyone does that at least once. I’m Jace, by the way. The weird looking girl is Maya."“Huh? Did you just call me weird looking?” She glared at him. Jace seemed pleased to have gotten on her nerves.I didn't want to get involved in their bickering. I mean, I had something more important to deal with right now."I'm Theo," I said, my heart still hammering. "Can it be fixed? Ms. Lesley needs these logs in twenty minutes.""Step aside, Theo," Maya said, pulling up a chair next to mine and tapping rapidly on her tablet. "Jace, grab the backup files from the trash bin and restore them before Ms. Lesley checks the main network. We’ve got this.”I watched in absolute awe as the two of them worked. Jace walked me through the software interface, explaining the shortcuts in simple terms that actually made sense, while Maya rerouted the data back to where it belonged. Within ten minutes, the red error message vanished, and the
