Your Officemate's

54. Turn Over Because of Clara

"I like you only as a marketing staff. Not more. Regarding my behavior last night, I'm really sorry. I'm out of control."

I finally decided to give him a limit, regardless of what I did wrong to him.

"I know you lied to Hans. There's no way you don't have any feelings for me." Clara doesn't want to believe it.

"What are you looking for from a guy like me? I'm 12 years older than you, have three kids and a wife. What kind of relationship do you expect?"

"I don't care, as long as I'm happy and you like me. I don't care." said Clara loudly.

"From now on you are my lover. Call me baby." he continued, not listening to me who tried to interrupt.

"Bye brother Hans. I'll see you later" he said and immediately turned off his phone.

I never thought things would be this complicated just because of a kiss. Given Clara's behavior that didn't care about the consequences, that day ended with me having to serve all the chat she sent me.

I can't really share my focus well. Clara really made me feel the fog, every time as if she knew my activities. And it could be time to come see me, no matter where and what I do. Only if I wanted to serve phone calls and chats, then he would stop whining to meet.

What I'm afraid of is Erika knowing what I did. My other fear is the reaction of my children when they accidentally heard this story from no one. None of this is what she imagined, I have never and will not replace Erika with any woman. Even more so with Clara. Then, I started playing hide-and-seek with my wife.

A few days of phone calls and chat with Clara, I missed my family. Especially wife. It seems like we have not been close together for a long time. Wanting to spend time with her, I decided to ask her out.

Basic Clara! He said he was in the same mall as me. Can't not, he has to meet. I forgot my date with Erika. All I want is to go home soon, but my wife hasn't finished choosing the food she wants to eat. I'm rattled. Next message - a message from Clara arrived without pause.

"You went to the mall with him?" (Clar)

"I'm dating my wife." (Hans)

"You should date me, not her." (Clar)

"I'll see you now." (Clar)

Then Clara who sent her picture was in one of the stores in the same mall. My heart's shaking. Once Erika saw me with Clara, and just by reading my body language, I made sure Erika immediately knew something was wrong with me and Clara.

Not long after, my finger dialed Clara's number.

"Where are you, Brother Hans?

"Food court's? What resto?"

"What did he eat?"

"What kind of shopping is she?"

"It's a big deal he's spending your money."

"I'm at your place right now!"

He leaned me in with questions that were all high-pitched. Her tone felt intimidating, as if - I was going to be away with my affair.

"Would you like to come here?" manya panic. I really stroked my chest. Instead of being strict, I panicked.

"What I give my wife is none of your business. That's his right." I love Erika, I won't let any Clara bother her.

"Don't do that. Are you not a woman too. Do you want to be treated like this?" I tried to touch his heart.

"I just don't like it when I'm with you more than I'm with you." Clara said.

"Isn't he more worthy of me? She's my wife." I said spontaneously, I was amused by the answer.

There's no answer. I also continued.

"Come Clara. Look for single, young and rich men to meet your lifestyle."

"But I'm comfortable with you, Brother Hans." he lamented.

"But I don't feel well. Especially the end of this, I keep chasing guilt."

She's speechless.

"Then, can I go shopping for Hans's?"

"OK!" I answered that question quickly.

Without waiting a few minutes, I've sent some money to his account. At least that money could ease my guilt towards her. More importantly, for a while he would calm down and not bother me.

Man changes usually because of two things, namely because his mind is open or his heart is hurt. Similarly to Erika, she was furious.

For nearly twenty years with her, it was only the first time I had seen the other side of an Erika.

His galloping steps quickly entered my room, his eyes sharp, his lips thinning. Cannot be disputed or fought. He was furious to find his number blocked by me. I know, he doesn't exist. An Erika never speaks without proof. Without a word all the evidence. His movements were so fast as if he had been waiting for a moment like today.

After that he roared and growled at me, then closed it with a declaration of war against Clara. My gentle Erik is gone.

I told you Erika was very smart, she managed to lure the snake out of her nest. Knowing Clara would be angry, Erika deliberately put up our photo complete with a piercing caption.

Clara was angry and protesting was no big deal to me. But Erika, who said she would let me get married again, broke my heart.

I realized, my wife gave up.
