Walking into his car, Haruki could not help but wonder what went wrong with the secretary he knew. It was as though she was possessed by a ghost or an alien. She was acting weird like he had never seen her act and for her to request to be his wife?
He exhaled tiredly as he felt as though he went to the gym rather than a restaurant and as though he went to burn calories not replenish them. With a sigh, he drove out of the driveway into the gradually darkening sky of the night.
Her offer was not bad but it did not ease the feeling of suspicion he felt. She has worked with him for so long and never made such an offer so what gave her the courage to do so now?
He decided he didn't want to think about it much as he drove to the bar he usually frequented. It was quite early but he was there mainly for the drinks and did not see the need to call any of his drinking buddies After all, it had been a while since he went out drinking with them.
