At noon, Vania came to Carlos's office with Vano because she didn't have a babysitter who could take care of her son. she walked, carrying her son and carrying a red bag, down the corridor to the elevator that would take her to the ninth floor where her husband's room was.
When she was about to enter the elevator, Vania saw a woman who looked impolite and didn't look like an employee getting out of the elevator and just walked away without greeting her, unlike other employees who were always polite to her as Carlos' second wife.
"Who's she?" Vania looked at the woman slowly out of sight because the elevator door was closed.
"Could it be she...?" Vania began to suspect that the woman was Veronica whom Max said was Carlos's mistress. She immediately reached into her jeans pocket to take out her phone and sent a message via WhatsApp to Max.
_please send a photo of a woman named Veronica right now_
The elevator opens. Vania immediately pocketed her phone back after she finished sending messages and walked out of the elevator while continuing to carry Vano. She walked leisurely down the corridor until she arrived in front of Carlos's room where there was a secretary's room which was close to her husband's room.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Vania," said the secretary, who was a woman around 25 years old, wearing a black knee-length dress combined with a milk chocolate top and a black dress and pinning some of her hair back.
"Good afternoon," replied Vania with a friendly smile then glanced at Carlos's tightly closed door. "Is Carlos in there?" She asked.
"Yeah, he's in there," the woman replied, nodding.
"Well then I'm going in now," she said then walked towards Carlos's room door and immediately opened it because it happened to be unlocked.
Carlos, who was relaxing on the sofa while enjoying a cup of coffee with an untidy appearance, was surprised by Vania's presence. He quickly buttoned his shirt and straightened his clothes.
"Vania," said Carlos as he approached Vania who also approached her until they were close to each other beside the white work desk.
"You haven't been to the apartment for too long, that's why I'm here because Vano keeps looking for you," said Vania casually as if she didn't know Carlos's badness.
"Sorry ... I'm too dizzy because of company matters," said Carlos showing sadness.
"Carry him," said Vania handing Vano to Carlos.
"Uh, fine." Although initially hesitant, Carlos finally grabbed Vano to carry him. He rocked his son and led him to walk towards the glass wall to see the clear view of the building around the office.
Vania shifted to sit on the sofa, glanced around, and even opened the trash can and suddenly something caught her breath and her chest felt tight because her heart ached so much at the thought of Carlos making out with another woman in the office. 'Used protection...'
.drett... drett...
Her phone vibrates. Vania immediately sat back on the couch and immediately took the phone from her pants pocket. She saw an incoming message via WhatsApp from Max and immediately opened it.
'Damn it! So, that woman called Veronica? how dare she come here to satisfy Carlos!' Vania said to herself after seeing the photo of Veronica sent by Max the same as the woman she met in the elevator. She sent a photo of the woman to Elsa with the caption.
_Our husband's mistress__
"Vania ... don't you put diaper on him? He peed and wet my clothes!" Carlos approached Vania while carrying Vano with fast steps and a very emotional look.
"Sorry... I ran out of stock and I just bought it, I haven't used it yet," said Vania, reaching for the Vano that Carlos gave very rudely.
"Damn boy!" Carlos cursed. "Look, wet and ... Smell of urine!" he continued angrily as he took off his wet shirt until he was only shirtless, exposing the upper area of his stout body but visible lipstick stains on his neck and chest.
"Carlos. He's your son, why are you so angry just because he wet your clothes? you've changed a lot, you're not a good father!" Vania looked angry as she took off Vano's pants. She immediately took her son to the bathroom to wash his lower body.
Until a few minutes in the bathroom, Vania again invites Vano to the main room and puts on diaper and spare pants which she carries in a medium-sized bag which she always fills with various Vano's necessities.
"After this, you just go home!" Called Carlos curtly. He sat on another couch opposite Vania across from a glass table. The man was still shirtless, unaware that the lipstick stains on his neck and chest were so obvious.
Silently, Vania put pants on Vano. After that, she glanced at Carlos who looked haughty, and ... finally, she noticed that there were lipstick stains on her husband's neck and chest area.
"Okay. I'm going home and I swear never to come here again for the rest of my life!" she said angrily as if she couldn't be cute anymore...if sharing a husband with Elsa, it was normal for her. But if she shared it with another woman she had just met, she would think a thousand times!
"Well, please go... I will meet you at the apartment," said Carlos curtly.
Vania didn't respond. She immediately got up while holding Vano and carrying her bag, then walked out of the room feeling so broken because her husband cheated on her and scolded her young son.

At another place ...
Elsa is having lunch at a monochrome cafe with Johan. She had just finished a photoshoot at a photo studio not far from the location of the cafe.
"Ma'am," Johan called when he saw Elsa looking as unhappy as before after looking at her phone.
Elsa sighed, put her phone on the table then bent her face saying "he did."
"What do you mean?" asked Johan.
"Carlos cheated at the office. Vania accidentally met his mistress at the office," answered Elsa angrily. She looked back at Johan who looked normal. "Did you know about this before?" She asked.
"No, but I expected it," Johan answered then touched the back of Elsa's hand and rubbed it, saying, "you have to be patient because Mr. Carlos can never change."
"This isn't the household I've been dreaming of all along, Johan. I've been patient enough with his polygamy, but he's still like this. Is it possible that he wants to have three wives?" Elsa shook her head in surprise with the pain that was going through her heart. She did hate Carlos but there was still love for him and this fact made her run aground. "I've had a hard time accepting the fact that I have to share with Vania, then I have to share again with other women ... I don't want to!"
"But you also have a relationship with me, ma'am ..." Johan could not deny that Elsa was also wrong.
"I'm like this because he left me lonely while you made me comfortable. I'm a normal woman, I also want satisfaction," said Elsa defending herself.
"Am I just going to be your gratification?" Johan asked with hopeful eyes, hoping that Elsa would make him a real partner.
"I was thinking about it," Elsa replied with a flat look. She couldn't be cute anymore because her heart was hurting....
