“That’s all for today. Thank you for your hard work.”
Saito-san, my department’s boss, signed the document and sat down in his chair, looking tired. Ms. Saito is a married woman in her late 30s, and she is a serious woman who can work. She is always cool and doesn’t often show her emotions. She was highly respected by everyone in the department, and she was someone I looked up to as well.
“Today is a drinking party. Let’s all have fun together for the first time in a while!”
Suzuki-kun, a junior, cheerfully invites us to have a drinking party. Today was the end of the month, and it was a break for us as a department.
“Well, let’s get a little out of hand today. Everyone, let’s drink today!”
Mr. Saito, who doesn’t usually participate in drinking parties, unusually took the initiative to recommend one. He looked a little haggard, perhaps because he was tired from the summer.
When the drinking party started, Saito refrained from drinking at first, but she gradually increased her drinking pace. I was worried about Mr. Saito, so I called out to him.
