Lilica arrived at one of the most grand hotels in Roppongi. Along the way, Lilienne chatted with Lilica and they became close friends. The more they talked the more Lilica felt guilty since Lilienne was a really good person.
They boarded the elevator to the top floor and headed into the restaurant. The whole restaurant was booked so the whole floor was empty except for one table.
The room was decorated grandly and was romantic. The atmosphere, the sound ballad music, the light floral fragrance made one think that the man sitting there was going to propose. It was too romantic but which woman doesn't like romantic things?
"Kazuki! Did you wait long?" The woman in light pick dress asked as she spotted the man.
"Nope. How's the new secretary?" The man asked.
It was said that any secretary that the madam doesn't like was fired almost immediately. Anyone would know not to get on the madam's bad side.
Lilica thought to herself; Umm...guys? I'm still here, y'know? Why not ask when I'm not around? I don't want to know my evaluation since my first day of promotion y'know?

"She's great! We're already friends!" Lilienne answered as she smiled brightly.
As soon as Lilica heard the word 'friend' a flash of guilt passed her eyes.
"That's good." The man said as he glanced at Lilica.
"I've ordered your favorite foods. Let's eat!" The man said as he smiled at Lilienne.
The man had never smiled like that to anyone, much less Lilica. When Lilica saw his genuine smile, she couldn't help but feel sad, like she didn't belong in that scene.
"Oh! That's right! I can't drink alcohol today! More like, for another 9 months!" Lilienne smiled brightly as she announced the happy news.
"Wait, don't tell me you're pregnant?!" The man was stunned as he heard her. A sudden sadness flashed passed his eyes so quickly no one noticed.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner? This is big news! We have to tell my parents!" The man said as he smiled brightly. He quickly took his phone out and called his parents.
When Lilica heard about the happy news, she was so shocked she almost fainted. Not only was she cheating with her husband, she was cheating on a pregnant woman. The guilt was almost unbearable. Lilica couldn't stand being in the same room anymore, afraid that Lilienne would notice her change in emotions and know of their affair.
Lilica quickly thought up an excuse and said, "Boss, Madam, I need to quickly go back home. An emergency came up. I'm sorry!" She bowed and didn't give any time for the two to reply.
