He kept talking about how difficult the client he met in the morning was, but he forgot that he was not such a noisy person.
He would only be so revealing when he was guilty of lying.
He just kept apologizing for my futile waiting and for his sudden disconnection.
But he never mentioned getting the certificate.
I should have kept my mouth shut, but I couldn't get rid of the depressed feeling in my chest.
I was frantically trying to confirm an answer, an answer that was already very clear in my mind.
"The Civil Affairs Bureau opens at 1:30 this afternoon. Let's go there after we have lunch." I looked at him and said this.
However, the spoon in his hand slipped unconsciously and made a crisp sound when it rubbed against the wall of the plate.
It was like a slap in the face.
He was a little flustered, not daring to look me in the eye, and explained in a low voice, "I have to rush back to the company soon, today..."
I felt the last string in my heart was broken.
I considerately helped him pick up the spoon and handed it to him.
"It's okay, just focus on your work first."
