Your Officemate's

49. Johan's Story

"Isn't there sorry for me?" tanyanya slow.

"There is," Although it's impossible. Tears had gathered in Erika's eyes.

"If you can bring back all my pain and make me forget that there's a human named Clara Adelia on this earth."

Doing morning activities as usual, I try not to make the children see something different to him and Hans. When Abbey and Manda said goodbye with affection and kisses, Erika swallowed a sob that almost came out.

"You're going?" tanyanya slow.

Erika nodded.

"Is there really nothing I can do to keep you here? Or, let me go. They need you more."

Erika just kept quiet. The children call their Daddy impatiently. Hans was still standing near Erika, who was completely unwilling to look at her. Hans nodded slowly and left.

The door closed and Erika sat down languidly on the sofa. When considering there are some things that must be cleaned out there, Erika slowly pulled the suitcase down from the top floor. Erika said goodbye to Sister Aaron and entrusted her little hero. Erika said there was a need outside the city for a while. Then go by taxi.

Not until ten minutes, Erika has arrived at Johan's house which is only different cluster with her house.

Johan was waiting for him at the main door, because Erika had contacted him and said she would stop by.

"Wow! Waw! Where's my brother going?" Johan tried to act ordinary when he saw Erika dragging her suitcase. He knew something extraordinary was happening to his sister. There was no way an Erika would come to her house this early, let alone carry a suitcase if nothing happened.

He took the suitcase from Erika's hand, and the other hand pulled Erika's shoulder closer to him. Erika's face was livid due to lack of sleep and also a lot she thought about.

There was nothing Merry, Johan or Erika said at the dinner table. Merry prepared a glass of su-su and a cheese omelette.

"Eat even a little. Or is there something you want to eat?"

Erika simply shook her head as she continued to swallow the tasteless food in her mouth. After breakfast, Merry lets Johan and Erika go near the pool.

A few minutes passed, Erika sat quietly in the gazebo with the faithful Johan accompanying her.

"What do you want me to do for you?" johan asked as she could not bear to see Erika's pathetic expression. Erika is usually the smartest to hide her feelings.

"I don't know, Brother...."

Erika went back to silence, then exhaled heavily.

"Say, I'll do whatever you ask."

Erika looked at Johan with a sad look, her lips smiling.

"Thank you" he said.

His hand pulled the phone out of his pants pocket, tinkering for a moment. Without a word, Erika thrust the phone at Johan. Erika can't explain anything, let Johan see for himself what his best friend is doing.

"Sister told me, that Brother is his guarantee." Erika protested still in a soft voice.

Johan blinked his eyes many times, his hand was busy sliding Erika's phone screen. I don't know what Johan had in mind, his expression was completely illegible.

"Dear you are." (Clar)

"Miss you, Beb."((Clare)

" I, too." (Hans)

"Don't forget to delete the chat later to your wife."((Clare)

And there are many more evidence of other friendly chat screenshots. Johan did not continue reading the others. He had known before this, only he had not expected his sister to find any evidence.

"Oh! Sh**" said Johan.

Johan sat leaning against the gazebo wall, his hands against his chest. He tried to pick the right words for his sister.

"How did Hans react when he found out you found this chat?"

"Then?" ask Johan.

"He admitted everything, even Hans said they had a chance to kiss." continued Erika.

"He promised me he'd end it before you knew." Johan said as carefully as possible.

"Huh?" Erika was stunned, her eyes widened.

"So you also betrayed me, brother? You guys conspired to hide it?" erika's tone of voice sounded so disappointed.

"Oooh.not. That's not it, come with me to my office. I'll tell you everything." Johan pulled Erika's hand to follow her.

"Just because you are my sister, I want to listen to your explanation this time." Erika's voice riled up.

Until the work room, Johan told Erika to sit on the sofa. He took a laptop, and he sat next to Erika.

"Trust me, your husband is still faithful. He was trying to resist that temptation. All I don't know is about the kiss. As far as I know, they are just a friendly chat in the chat room. Not more. And the day he disappeared all night, he was with me. Hans has confessed everything, and told me that you chose to divorce. That's why, early in the morning I went to your house because that morning Hans had to work things out with Clara." Johan explained what he knew to Erika.

"I actually wanted to beat him up, but I knew it was hard for Hans to face an aggressive woman like Clara. I didn't do anything, because he admitted before I asked. He also decided to end it all himself. At least he still chooses to be with you, despite being tempted." Johan continued.

"But he asked if he could marry again."

"That's her stupid. She was actually already bright - bluntly telling Clara that she couldn't let you go. I don't know what he was thinking at the time." Johan added.

"I think I came to the wrong person. You're fellow men, of course you're defending her." Erika said.

"No, Honey. No, wait a minute." Johan tapped on his laptop and showed Erika a lot of things.

"I've been investigating Clara, ever since the day I saw Clara flailing around with Hans. You were recovering after caesarean."

"So that time was really Clara, and not just my hallucinations."

"Indeed Hans refused, but I caught a bad beat. And after Clara came out, I decided to follow Hans too because a few times my people saw Clara coming to the office when the working hours were over."

"What's to see Brother Hans?" Erika asked with her heart beating even faster.

"I think so, but Hans didn't show up and nobody ever saw them go away" Johan said.

"Could your men be off guard when watching?"

"No. I had people put GPS in Hans' car. It's true he was overtime, but that day he went straight home."

"They really met only during dinner with Mr. Lim. If it's true that they kissed, it's possible that time."

Erika tries to digest every information she gets from Johan. His eyes scrutinize the places Johan visited from the trail he left on the GPS. There is no place to be suspected. It's just that there's a time Hans comes home at night, and he's just spinning around the street. The rest, Hans only visited Erika's favorite house, office, restaurant. Ah, Hans is really weird!

"Did he tell me why he was spinning around before he got home?" asked Erika curiously.

"Oh, that's so embarrassing! I can only say that your husband is stupid. I'm ashamed to have a friend like her." replied Johan.

"Whatchu mean? What are they doing?" asked Erika in panic.
