Erica's Secret

Jo's Feelings

Jonathan put a lot of the equipment he would need into a shopping cart. Erica got confused because Jonathan took a lot of snacks. Erica smiled and slightly mocked Jonathan until finally Jonathan felt ashamed of himself.

"Are you sure you can spend it all?" ask Erica.

"hmmm.because there will be no Mama there, I want to be satisfied eating what I like." replied Jonathan.

"okkey. If there's anything I'm not afraid of."

"You buy all your stock at home" said Jonathan, taking some snacks and wafers for him.

Erica did not want to refuse much anymore. He was tired of rejecting what Jonathan had given him. Whatever is rejected, it will be forced to accept it.

After some of Erica's needs had gone into the grocery basket, they headed for the cashier. Jonathan was the one who spent the money on him.

After scanning the item in the barcode and everything was done, Jonathan asked to be packed in the box and asked an employee to bring it into the trunk of the car.

"It's done. My clothes are packed, other equipment and stock snacks. Now, I'm taking you home" Jonathan said.

During the trip, Erica was shrouded in happiness because Jonathan, who had been her superior, had now turned into Erica's pretend lover. Despite her pretence, Erica is quite happy with the way Jonathan treats her.

"During Pontianak, I'll be in the field. Take care of the land that the property will build." Jonathan said.

"OKAY. If there's something to do, you can just call me" Erica said.

"Maybe I'll call you back and forth about the permit. You have to standby anytime. Because it looks like I'll be a little busy there." Jonathan explained

Erica nodded. Although Jonathan trusted him, he did not want to be a big head. Because taking care of the company, the responsibility must be big.

Thirty minutes passed. They finally reached Erica's apartment. Jonathan helps Erica bring her a dus containing her groceries.

They boarded the elevator and Erica opened the door of her apartment by pressing on some of her pass numbers.

"You know my password?" ask Erica to Jonathan..

"I don't know."

"Within' my birthday. So if you're here, you can just walk in without calling me" Erica said

"Why is that? This is your home. Your privacy." Jonathan did not understand what Erica was thinking.

"Because this apartment is a gift from you, I'll tell you the password" Erica replied smilingly. Erica entered first followed by Jonathan.

Erica puts the dus on the table followed by Jonathan.

"Don't you just take care of her stuff?"

"I'll change my clothes for a minute." Erica does tend to immediately change her clothes when she travels. He doesn't like to wear clothes at home. And more jeans. He feels uncomfortable.

After changing his clothes, Jonathan who was on the phone helped Erica clean up her things. Her behavior makes Erica know that Jonathan is the type of person who cares and wants to help others.

After finishing his phone, Jonathan only realized that Erica took noodles for stock.

"You stock a lot of noodles, Er. You can't eat this much noodles." said Jonathan.

Erica was silent when rebuked so by Jonathan.

"Don't love money if it's for your health, Er."

"I don't eat every day, Jo."

"I'm transferring you to eat something other than noodles. I don't want ya if you eat noodles keep kayak gini." said Jonathan.

Erica realized something. Since when did Jonathan become so protective of what in life? Aren't they just pretending to be dating? Why does Jonathan care about his health?

"Jo?" call Erica

"Our relationship is just pretending to be dating. You now care about my health. You mean what is that?" ask Erica.

Jonathan stopped swiping at his cell phone. He looked at Erica and put down his phone. He walked up to Erica so Erica took a step back from Jonathan.

"Ers... Are you afraid of me?" ask Jonathan

"No."

"Keep, do you feel any different when you're with me?"

"..." - ".Erica's speechless. How should he answer?

"Ers... Are you sure we can pretend to be dating?"

Jonathan looked at Erica deep into his eyes. It felt like it had penetrated into Erica's heart.

"Erica... I don't think I can pretend to be with you anymore" Jonathan said

Dhegs!! Erica was surprised by Jonathan's statement

"You mean?" ask Erica.

"I like you, Erica."

Dhuarr!!! Erica's heart is about to fall off. What dream was he last night? His boss likes Erica. Bosses. BOSSES. THE BOSS!! It's nuts. This is all crazy.

"Not wrong, Jo?"

Jonathan tidied up Erica's haircut that was strewn across her forehead.

"May I hold your hand, Er?" ask Jonathan politely.

Instantly, Erica was puzzled by Jonathan's gentle speech like this. Erica's heart? Don't ask. Definitely not safe. It shook so much it felt like fainting.

Erica turned her eyes the other way.

"Joe. It's wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Jo, I'm your subordinate. My life is mediocre. I still work at your company. I still need the money. Me and you, we're not on the same level, Jo. You have to find another woman who is on your level. And it's not me!"

Erica is feeling less. To be honest, he felt doubtful, this thumping feeling was actually what feeling?

"I've got money, positions, power, and I just need you Erica. I don't need your job, your property, everything, I just want you" Jonathan said.

Erica was silent again giving no answer. Okay. It's too sudden for him. She's shocked. Astounded. Bummer.

"alright. Right now I just want you to know how I feel. I will do it slowly and do not want to rush. I won't touch you unless you let me. I'll wait for you to open your heart to me, Er." Jonathan said.

Don't wait, Jo! No need! Erica's heart was open. He's just a prestige!

Erica nodded slowly. Jonathan was ready to open the apartment door.

"Remember ya. Don't eat noodles." Jonathan said with a smile.

Erica nodded softly and understood with Jonathan's intention

Jonathan said goodbye and closed the door again

Erica held onto her heart that was pounding fast no murmur. His heart was full of dag dig dug.
