Chapter 05

"Hey, what are you doing!" cried someone who had just entered the office. Then he pulled the body Hendrik from behind and gave it beat to him face.

Hendrik staggered and fell to the floor, fresh blood flowing in the corners of his lips. "Who are you? How dare you interfere with my enjoyment!" Hendrik said after wiping the fresh blood at the corner of his lips.

The man didn't give an answer, he let go of his coat and covered the body of Erika that already looked messy. "Go from here! Let him be mine." said the man who told Erika to go.

"Thank you." said Erika softly. Then she took the bag and documents on the table and then ran out while crying.

What a day this is the worst day of her life. Erika ran while downcast, she didn't care about the views of the employees of the hotel to her. She wants to immediately get out from the damn hotel.

And for Hendrik's own. Don't hope he can escape from the grip of the youth who are already give a bruise on his face. Hendrik himself, does not know who is the young man, and where it came from it, but the young man continues to beat Hendrik up battered and he say begging for mercy.

***************

Erika, who was in the cab, just sat there with tears running down both cheeks. Her mind was messed up, how messed up her current appearance. Sometimes the taxi driver asked the direction of the goal, but Erika was only silent and didn't answer. But the words of Hendrik are still ringing in her ears.

Just because the video from the cctv captured her out of room 919, she already had a name as a lowly woman and equalized with a prostitute. Can't people classmates Hendrik find out first the truth, why Erika came out of room 919 at that time? And for Erika's own, she did not need to explain why it could happen.

"Ma'am, where are we going to ma'am?" the taxi driver asked, who was confused by the direction of destination Erika.

Because honestly, the driver feels worried about the state of Erika at this time. Erika woke up and heard the question of the taxi driver, and he wiped her tears with the back of his hand. "Go to the office Adhinata group, sir." replied Erika after considering his decision. Although today is ill-fated for her, she will not be remiss in her work.

"Ok, ma'am." replied the driver.

Erika then looked towards the window, her eyes staring at the passing cars on the streets. Her cheek still feels the pain from the slap rough hands Hendrik, just maybe this time already there is a bruise on the cheek Erika. But the pain in her cheeks wasn't worth the pain in her heart. Got a humiliation like that, of course, creating self-esteem Erika felt torn apart.

Fortunately, tomorrow is the weekend, so tomorrow Erika can rest in the apartment without having to spend time in the office. Given the events of the day, this is a heavy blow to her, perhaps with a short rest from routine in the office can restore her mood.

"We've arrived, ma'am." said the taxi driver to Erika.

Erika turned to the front to make sure of the words of the taxi driver, and found it was already up in front of the building Adhinata group. "Oh, wait a minute, I will call my friend first. Please take the car to the front page of the office." said Erika, then took out the phone from her bag.

"Ok, ma'am." the driver was back to attempt to pull the car slowly into the courtyard of the building Adhinata group, then he was looking for a parking spot that was empty.

After finding the contact, Erika directly contacted that person. "Evan, can you go downstairs for a minute?"

"Yeah, what happened, Erika?"

"I want to give you some important documents to be submitted to Mr. Jimmy. So, you can take this from me?" said Erika.

"Why don't you just give it to Sir Jimmy?"

"I still have something important to do, so please take the paperwork to the bottom of it." said Erika.

"Ok, ok. You wait a moment then." the responsible person named Evan, then he turned off the call.

Erika select to wait for Evan in the cab that was parked in the front yard office. It looks like a mess and doesn't allow her to get down from the taxi. Her eyes continued to stare at the lobby of the office, to make sure she could see Evan.

After a few minutes of waiting, it looked like the figure of Evan who was already in an office Adhinata group. He looked to the left and to the right were searching for the existence of a person. Look also the youth named Evan that reached into his pants pocket to retrieve the phone.

Erika had already seen figure Evan on the terrace of the office. She asked the taxi driver to approach the young man. "Sir, let's walk to the front office." said Erika.

"Yes, ma'am." as understood with the request of Erika, the driver complied to come to the front office Adinata group.

After getting up right in front of the office, Erika opened the car window and called Evan. "Evan, this is a document from the hotel Winston, could you please give it to Sir. Jimmy." said Erika as he handed in a stack of documents.

Evan furrowed his brow to see the appearance of Erika was very messy, hee eyes looked swollen like crying. Even Evan can also see the bruise purpling on the cheek Erika.

"Erika? You're okay, right?" asked Evan.

Erika just nodded, "I'll go first. Please say to Mr. Jimmy, I have a work permit and a half days." said Erika.

"Ok, ok, later I will help permit you. If there is anything, please do not hesitate to contact me, Erika." said Evan.

Erika back nod, "Thank you for helping you, Van." replied Erika, then she shut the glass of the car and told the driver to leave the office Adinata group. Look Evan waved a hand towards the taxi that was riding Erika.

Evan was still confused and curious about what happened to Erika. But it looks like Erika is not yet ready to tell him what was happening to her. Evan saw the taxi riding by Erika go away, he turned to the agency and entered the office. Just need to know if Evan is the personal assistant Jimmy Andrean Adinata. Can be said also that Evan is the right hand of Jimmy (the sole heir Adinata group).

"Sir, this is a document from the hotel Winston. What do I need to check it one by one?" said Evan, submit a pile of documents to the direction of the table work Jimmy.

Jimmy furrowed his brow, feeling something strange in this case. "Where's Erika? Why didn't he give this document to me?" asked Jimmy with a flat tone.

"She asked permission to leave half a day, it seems like she had some personal problems outside," replied Evan.

"Is this the way people work professional? Delegate duties to other people, just because of personal issues?" asked Jimmy with a tone of cynical.

Evan just quiet didn't answer the words of his boss. Because he himself also did not know what happened to Erika. Given the appearance of Erika a mess when he met her down there, making the mind of Evan a little distracted. What's the matter with Erika?

"Evan, cut his salary this month. Because she is not a professional in the work." command Jimmy began to open the document in front of him.

Evan spontaneous look into the direction of Jimmy, he was very surprised to be the command of Jimmy who seemed to deliberately complicate Erika. "Ok, Sir." the only word that is able to get out of his lips.

Evan didn't dare to argue with the boss, because Evan knows very well that during this time between his boss and the Erika-like eve of the cold war that is strong enough. But the cold war because of what? Evan also don't know. Which Evan know, just Erika is the legal wife of Jimmy Andrean Adinata is not more than that.
