Arriving in front of the boarding house, Lisa took off her seat belt while getting ready to open the car''s door. "Rangga, thanks for helping me again," she said, turning to the face of the man with ck curly hair behind the wheel.


    "Anytime, Lis. Otherwise, what''s the point of being friends then?" Rangga replied, squinting one of his eyes.


    When Lisa lowered her left leg from the car, she remembered something. She looked back at Rangga then said, "I want to ask something."


    Rangga just muttered while lifting his chin in return.


    "Be works at one of yourpanies so please take care of my little sister. I hope that the problems between us will not affect Be''s career in your office. I''m sorry if she makes any errors or does not perform well. Please understand that she just graduated from college."


    Rangga understood Lisa''s concern. The man nodded, threw a faint smile and then said, "You don''t need to worry. I always thought of Be like my own sister. The problem between us has nothing to do with your sister, so just calm down."


    "Honestly, I had a bad fight with Be because she worked at your ce. I''m really afraid because the problems that we had in our past would affect herter. What if it turns out that Maria knows Be is my sister? Can you make sure that my sister will not be harmed in any way?" Lisa asked, her face was filled with worry.


    Rangga blinked after hearing Lisa''s sentence. He patted her shoulder gently then replied, "Don''t worry. Maria has nothing to do with your sister. I can assure you that Be will be fine in my office. Believe me!"


    Lisa could breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Rangga''sst words. She rubbed her chest while lifting her head up. "Okay, thanks really. Alright then, I will go first."


    Lisa immediately got out of the car while waving. Rangga waited until she got inside the boarding house and locked the gate before speeding away, leaving the area.


    ***


    A mix of orange and crimson spread across the horizon as the sun rose, waking people from their deep sleep to wee a new morning. Lisa was awakened by the warm rays slipping through the window of her boarding house. She could sleep peacefully without any burdenst night.


    Lisa had to go to the office again to work and fulfill her daily needs. That morning, her thoughts were not too burdened by her job, but when she looked at the hotel building where she now worked, shes of yesterday''s memory in a quiet alley suddenly appeared.


    She paused her steps for a moment, shook her head in the hope that the embarrassing memory with Johanst night could disappear soon. But the more she shook her head, the longer that memory stuck in her mind. Lisa immediately rushed to the women''s restroom, she turned the water tap and then washed her face which looked strange.


    She wiped the water from her face then looked at the mirror. The ck circles under her eyes were very thick and noticeable. These few days, Lisacked sleep from overworking, which pretty much took her rest time. Not to mention that her mind was messy from the incident with Johanst night.


    While staring at her reflection in the mirror, Lisa returned to thinking and pondering. A quiet man, an exemry employee and diligent at work like Johan, turned out to be a dangerous pervert. Lisa thought he was just being blunt, but the embarrassing incidentst night was enough to prove that Johan was a man she should avoid in the future.


    Lisa wanted to report to her manager aboutst night''s incident, but she didn''t have much evidence. Moreover, the scene also took ce far from the office, not to mention that Johan looked like a nice guy in the office. It would be difficult for managers and other colleagues to believe her story.


    This discouraged her from reporting Johan to her manager. Before she gathered enough evidence, she would just keep quiet and watch that perverted man''s strange movements.


    Lisa closed her eyes to calm her thoughts. She took a deep breath while stretching her stiff shoulder muscles. After leaving the toilet, Lisa immediately walked into the finance department room with hasty steps. Her heart was pounding, she was afraid to meet Johan face to face, but when she nced at the man''s workce, that man waspletely absent!


    Lisa wondered, where was Johan this morning? It''s not his style to bete even if it was only 5 minutes. Then she came back to remember that Rangga beat him to a pulp yesterday. That''s right, it must be the reason why Johan didn''te in today.


    Before the hour was runningte, Alia came strolling over to her desk with hasty steps. Her breath was short, afraid that it would be toote. The woman turned to the clock on the wall and then identally stared at Johan''s empty desk. Her curiosity instantly grew even bigger.


    "Huh? Where''s that guy?" Alia asked, putting down her briefcase.


    "Don''t know, maybe he''s on leave?" Lisa answered carelessly while shrugging her shoulders.


    "Lis, howe you don''t really like Johan? He''s a good guy, he works hard too!" Alia asked spontaneously. From the way she spoke, Alia deliberately provoked a conversation with Lisa. She wanted to know how Lisa responded when she heard her say ''Johan is a good guy who works hard''.


    Lisa almost blurted out. Luckily, she didn''t tell Alia what really happenedst night. She rested on her chin while fiddling with her keyboard, staringzily at theputer screen.


    "How can you say that?" Lisa repliedzily, staring at herputer screen.


    "Why are you suddenly looking cold when I talk about Johan. What''s your problem with him? Tell me," said Alia.


    Lisa ignored her and focused on herputer screen, making Alia even more itching to hear her stories. She leaned over to Lisa so that their faces got close.


    "Lis, let me tell you one thing. Johan is indeed an exemry employee here, but don''t be close to that guy," Alia whispered to Lisa from behind herputer screen.


    Hearing a whisper just now made Lisa''s curiosity even bigger. She inclined her head so she could hear Alia''s low voice. "Al, don''t tell me that Johan had a dark history before I worked here?"


    Turning to the right and left and making sure that no other employee noticed them gossiping during work hours, Alia brought her face closer and then whispered, "Johan likes beautiful girls with Korean styles. He always chases them using his own way. He will give them a letter of tacky poetry, and even follow them. Johan is a stalker! Once upon a time, there was an old employee here and she''s so beautiful! Just like a Korean artist. Then Johan kept stalking this girl until she got scared and the next day, she resigned from here," Alia exined at length.


    "That''s really scary!" Lisa shouted spontaneously.


    "Anyway, stay away from Johan! He''s a wolf in sheep''s clothing," Alia eximed firmly in a low voice, keeping the other employees from hearing their conversation.
