Chapter 047 Honey, I need to go on a business trip for a month

Time just keeps ticking by, and before I knew it, another month had passed.

Over this month, I've been busting my chops to wrap up my work during the day, avoiding overtime, and making it home on the dot after work. Plus, I've been dodging business trips like the plague. Whenever a trip comes up, I try to get the boss to send someone else, claiming it's for health reasons.

Having been at the company for a while, I'm pretty tight with the leadership, so I managed to skip out on travel this month and enjoyed the break from all the running around.

That spat I had with Betty finally made her see my side of things. While she's good to Michael, she's been making sure not to sideline me, keeping things fair and square. Maybe it's because I've been around the house more, but Michael hasn't been putting on any acts. He's been sleeping peacefully, and Betty spends every evening with me, showering me with affection.
