Your Officemate's

9. Of jealousy?

"Thank you to my partner, Brother Hans Sanjaya, who has always been with me, for supporting me hard and happy. And as a form of appreciation, I hope he will come forward to represent me to receive awards and take pictures together. Because this award is not just mine. But it's ours because we're teamwork." Said Clara.

Hans flinched for a moment when he heard it. The corner of her eyes caught Erika's facial expression which suddenly turned flat. Instantly an alarm of immediate danger sign went off in Hans brain it seemed like there was going to be a storm hitting him today.

Next, the host asked "How about Mr Hans Sanjaya? Are you ready to go to the podium?"

Erika unconsciously held her breath waiting for Hans reaction.

Exactly! Hans stands.

"For a moment, Moms." Hans lowered his head and gently slipped the back of Erika's hand before he finally walked towards the podium.

Erika did not answer. His instincts as a wife kept saying something was wrong with the young woman.

Erika's heart was pounding uncontrollably because it was holding back emotions. Hold Erika, Hold. He said repeatedly in his heart. Erika is trying to keep her sanity. He did not want to make a scene and humiliate himself in front of the crowd.

After all, logic should come first over feeling. Erika comforts herself.

Okay. The logic is that everyone knows that Erika is Hans' wife. Clara is not a who, just one of the award recipients. Then, advancing forward and accompanying Clara to receive the award was just a formality. Hans couldn't have turned down a photo request in public. After all just a photo of the two as partners, as superiors and subordinates.

Ok, just take a picture. Photo as teamwork. Erika continued to convince herself though, her heart sneering.

After all, this isn't Hans' first photo with a woman.

Ah, whatever Erika now knows, the problem is not the photo scene. But who Hans was taking the picture with. And Erika decided she wouldn't like that woman. Blacklists.

Erika could not bear to see Clara's big smile when Hans arrived on stage.

Erika stood up and tried to control herself.

"Abbey, Manda, Mommy go to the toilet for a while. Wait here until Daddy or Mommy comes." Erika's message to her kids.

The children as usual nodded obediently.

Merry who was with them seemed to see Erika with a probing look.

He had a chance to see Erika change in face, as Hans stood up and advanced forward. Even Merry also saw how Erika clenched a strong hand - as strong as holding something that was about to explode. Unusually Erika who was always calm and gentle behaved like that.

Erika stepped up and was immediately followed by Merry.

"Rika, yuk together. I also want to go to the toilet" Merry grabbed Erika's hand and held her gently. Erika's hands were cold.

Ah, Erika really doesn't want anyone to know how messed up she feels right now. How shy she is, if anyone knows her emotions just because someone wants to take a picture with her husband.

Just because of a photo! And he can have emotions like this. Oh, it doesn't make any sense.

As if understanding what Erika was feeling, Merry asked softly and heartfully.

"Who's Clara? What do you think of him?"

As the President Director's wife, Merry did not know one by one her husband's employees. She only appears at certain events or when she wants to visit her husband. He went straight to Johan's room.

"Ah.. not who - who is Brother Merry. He's just an ordinary staff." Erika tried to answer as calmly as possible, while tidying her hair in front of the mirror. But Merry could feel Erika's voice trembling slightly.

"Trust me, what you see is not as bad as you think." Merry tries to instill positive thoughts in Erika, though she is not sure what Erika is thinking. Erika is disturbed by Clara's presence.

Erika was silent, her gaze staring at the mirror.

Merry sighed, she knew that Erika had been so covered with her personal life.

"alright. Just tell me you need something. You should know, your brother Johan and I will always be with you."

Finished with their affairs in the toilet, Erika and Merry returned to the main room. It turned out that Hans was waiting for Erika in front of the main door.

"Oh, are you here, Hans?" asked Merry graciously.

"alright. I went back to my husband. Take good care of Erika - well, my husband loves her very much." Said Merry again, his hand rubbed Erika's back with a lot of affection.

Hans caught a threat, though the words were uttered with a soft voice and smiling lips. After that, Merry passed without waiting for Hans to answer.

Oh, it turns out that the drama is not over for Erika. The woman si*l*n came over to Erika and Hans. Erika threw something at the sinless smiling face in front of her.

"Sir Hans, Rika's sister.. Are you going home yet?" tanyanya friendly.

"We picked up Abbey and Manda first, then went home" Hans said, either the sentence was addressed to Erika or Clara.

"Sir Rica, wait" Clara held Erika's hand as Erika was about to step following Hans.

"Yes?" Erika answered calmly and put on her best smile. He did not want Clara to feel victorious because it managed to ruin his mood. Believe me, it is very difficult to be graceful when the feelings of the heart are chaotic.

"Hmmm... Rika is jealous? Sorry, Brother. I have no intention whatsoever." Clara's face looked sad and guilty.

"Need Rika know yes, Brother Hans is not my type. I don't like old guys. I like the young, cool, slang and not stingy like brother Hans." continued Erika.

"Marrels? What did Clara ever ask to conclude that Hans was stingy?" (Erican)

"So sister Rika.., you don't have to be jealous anymore with me. We are just a very suitable partner. Brother Hans wouldn't be able to move forward if there wasn't me. If it does not enter the target, Rika also can not shop. Aye right?"

"Cih... is it suitable? Can't shop?" Erika's heart was so crowded to berate even though her face looked calm listening while smiling sweetly.

"Well, right, brother? So can I be friends with Brother Hans?" Clara this time tried to embrace Erika's shoulder.

Erika was already on her guard and shifted her body. He did not want his body touched by the poisoned woman's hand.

A fake! That was what Erika's conscience told Clara.

"Come on. sis Hans and I were just friends with Rika. Pity your brother Hans if Rika's brother is angry?"

"Why should I be angry?"

After a long time of listening, Erika finally answered with a question.

His face was still smiling, but his gaze was so deep.

"Eeem.yes angry - angry at the jealousy of seeing me.friending with brother Hans."

Clara trembled a little to feel Erika's calm, until - until she forgot what to say.

"Why should I be jealous?" ask Erika again.

"What did you do to my husband until I got jealous?" smithy Erika still with all her charisma and elegance.

"Eh?" Clara seemed unable to answer.

Right yeah. What does Clara do to feel jealous?
