Haruki tried to be as casual as he could about Satomi's invitation. He could guess there was something else she was hinting at through the invitation but he wasn't hesitant rather, it made him curious.
It was the weekend and although he shouldn't be at work, he stopped by his office for an impromptu meeting, one he made up his mind to be present physically.
They were done before lunch and parted to enjoy what was left of their weekend. Haruki told Kiyoshi he wanted to drive himself. Kiyoshi without hesitation gave him the key to his car and waved him off before joining Haruki's guards in their car.
Haruki drove leisurely for a while without much thought on his mind. If he had not stopped at the office, he would have gone golfing with two of his friends and they would always have something planned afterwards. With that, he would be busy until dinner. Mostly passively, but watching his peers live carefree during those moments was enough entertainment.
