Nearing the end of the workday, perhaps to soothe her wounded heart, Tokairin Yuko suggested to Misumi Mikoto, "Mikoto, let's go have a drink after work! You haven't joined me for a drink in so long!"
Upon hearing Tokairin Yuko's suggestion, Misumi Mikoto thought for a moment and then nodded, casually inviting Kube Rokuro who was nearby, "Mr. Kube, come with us, it's more fun with more people."
However, faced with Misumi Mikoto's invitation, Kube Rokuro just shook his head and declined, "I won't be going, I have something to do tonight, sorry."
"Rokuro, you've been so eager to leave work recently! Are you rushing off to see your girlfriend?" Tokairin Yuko teased, upon hearing Kube Rokuro mention again that he had plans for the evening.
In fact, ever since Chen Yu asked Misumi Mikoto to keep an eye on Kube Rokuro, she had noticed that he had been leaving work punctually every day and seemed in a rush, looking very much like he was eager to meet up with a girlfriend.
