My wife believes me; how could I be a cuckold?

It's best to be careful these days.

And this prop, it's best to avoid using it if possible...

Looking at his smashed car, Makoto Asano couldn't help but feel a little scared.

After a brief moment of reminiscing, he turned and left.

Although she had insurance, which would cover compensation and repair costs, Eriko was still waiting at the hotel. If an accident occurred now, she would have to wait for the insurance company to arrive, and the damage assessment and filing would likely waste a lot of time.

So after a brief thought, Makoto Asano decided to leave the car here for the time being and come back to deal with it when he had time.

It took about five minutes to get back to the hotel. When he opened the door and saw Eriko Miyajima still sitting comfortably on the bed watching TV, Masashi Asano finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although Lilith is reliable, I still have some worries in my heart.

Hearing the door open, Eriko Miyajima turned to look at the doorway.

Upon seeing that it was Makoto Asano who opened the door, a sweet smile immediately appeared on her face: "Asano-kun, you're back."

"Well, I'm back."

Makoto Asano nodded, went into the room, sat on the bed, and then told Eriko Miyajima what had happened.

"...That's about it. Looks like we'll have to take a taxi home in a bit."

Eriko Miyajima listened attentively the whole time.

Upon hearing Asano Makoto say that the car had been smashed and couldn't be driven, besides surprise, a hint of delight unconsciously flashed across her face.

When she heard Makoto Asano say he would take a taxi home, the surprise on her face vanished instantly.

However, she quickly composed herself and prepared to offer some words of comfort to Makoto Asano, who had lost his beloved car.

On the other hand, because his existence was so short, Makoto Asano did not notice Eriko Miyajima's thoughts.

After hearing the other person's words of comfort, he just smiled and said that it wasn't a big problem, as he had insurance and could just have it repaired later.

He really didn't care much about it.

If you ask him if he's upset about his car breaking down, the answer is definitely yes.

However, if you ask him if he would be willing to do it again, his answer is still yes.

Only a fool would agree to pay the price of a car to win over a wonderful girl like Eriko Miyajima.

So, the two tidied up quickly, changed into their clothes which had been drying in the sun all morning, and then took a taxi home.

Makoto Asano originally only intended to drop Eriko off at her doorstep, then, after meeting Yuta Yamada, make a few excuses for Eriko to cover up what happened yesterday, and then go home.

To his surprise, Yamada Yuta still hadn't returned.

Today is Saturday, and the typhoon ended at two or three in the morning, and the weather cleared up early this morning.

It's almost 1 p.m. now, so there's no possibility that we won't be able to get back due to the weather.

Are they still working overtime? They're working so hard.

With that in mind, Makoto Asano felt at ease and followed Eriko Miyajima into the apartment, escorted her back to her bedroom, and helped her lie down on the bed.

then……

Then there is no more.

Makoto Asano didn't do anything strange.

After all, Eriko had only experienced her first sexual encounter last night, and this morning she had a second round of sex.

Therefore, her body has not yet recovered and she remains in a very weak state.

Moreover, she's at home now, not in a hotel, and Yamada Yuta could come back at any time, so Asano Makoto certainly wouldn't do anything foolish.

However, after putting Eriko Miyajima back to bed, he did not leave as he had planned, but instead began to busy himself.

Actually, he didn't do anything major. He just took care of Eriko Miyajima, poured her water, showed her concern, and chatted with her from time to time.

Since Yuta Yamada hasn't gone home yet, there's no harm in waiting.

After realizing that Makoto Asano had no intention of leaving, Eriko Miyajima didn't say anything; instead, she visibly became happier.

Although we agreed at the hotel to forget about it and go back to being just friends after we got home, and it was even her suggestion that brought this up.

However, it is clear that she has not yet adjusted her mindset and still maintains an extremely close relationship with Makoto Asano.

And so, a man and a woman, who had recently been intimate, found themselves alone in a room. As they talked, the atmosphere in the room began to become somewhat awkward.

In this incredibly ambiguous environment, Makoto Asano gradually became immersed in it. He seized the opportunity to lean over and prepare to give Eriko Miyajima a simple kiss.

Noticing his movements, Eriko Miyajima blushed instantly.

However, she did not reject Makoto Asano's intimacy. Instead, after a slight hesitation, she closed her eyes and quietly waited for his arrival.

Just then, the sound of a key being inserted into the lock and slowly turning was suddenly heard.

Upon hearing the noise, Eriko Miyajima, with a quick reaction and seemingly drawn strength from nowhere, immediately reached out and pushed Makoto Asano away.

Makoto Asano reacted quickly, only slightly slower than Eriko.

After being pushed away, he immediately straightened his clothes and turned to walk out the door.

When he stepped out of the room, he had a calm expression on his face, as if he hadn't done anything at all.

Behind him, Eriko Miyajima had already lain down on the bed.

She instinctively turned her back to the door and covered her entire body with the blanket.

At 1:30 p.m., Yuta Yamada finally returned home, exhausted.

However, looking at his front door, he didn't immediately take out his key to open it. Instead, he let out a long sigh.

This wasn't the first time he'd let out such a deep sigh today.

Or rather, his sighs hadn't stopped since he left his boss's office last night.

Around 6:30 p.m. yesterday, after he had been forced to stay at the company to work overtime for about an hour due to the typhoon, and after his colleague left the office looking dejected, the boss suddenly called him into the office as well.

Although I had some doubts, it was the boss's order after all, and I couldn't disobey it.

So he quickly nodded in response to the colleague who had come to inform him, and then went into the boss's office.

As soon as he entered, he saw the boss sitting in a chair, his face flushed and his clothes somewhat disheveled.

The next second, he suddenly smelled an extremely pungent odor that permeated the entire office.

Although he was a bit slow on the uptake, he wasn't stupid.

He had smelled this scent before when rewarding himself, and there had been rumors in the company for a long time that the boss liked young, handsome men.

So he immediately realized what his boss had just done in the office, and also understood why his colleague had looked so dejected when he left.

To be honest, Yuta Yamada actually admires his boss quite a bit.

Despite inheriting the company from her deceased husband and being only a middle-aged woman in her forties, she has managed to develop the company very well.

From this perspective, she can be considered a true strong woman.

However, if we have to point out something, this strong female boss isn't without her problems.

The biggest problem is that she doesn't have a very good reputation at the company.

According to long-time employees, she has a strong libido and has harassed employees more than once or twice.

Besides that, she was also quite promiscuous, often inviting newly hired young subordinates to her office, and then...

However, as a subordinate, Yamada Yuta naturally wouldn't pry into his boss's private affairs, nor did he want to.

Moreover, he wasn't worried about getting involved.

Because he was very self-aware, he knew that with his ordinary looks, he was unlikely to be chosen.

Moreover, since joining the company, he has never been harassed by the boss, and the number of times he has even spoken to him face-to-face can be counted on one hand.

Meanwhile, the handsome guy who joined the company at the same time as her had been summoned to her office countless times.

So when he saw the scene before him, he was only slightly stunned, and then he began to seriously ask the boss why she had called him over.

However, after asking the question and receiving the boss's reply, he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Yamada-kun, as you know, the company's performance has been poor lately. So, in order for the company to continue to survive, I plan to lay off a group of people and send a group of high-end talents to society."

Perhaps because of her rich experience, this powerful businesswoman still appeared completely at ease, despite having just made a dramatic turn of events.

A smile graced her face, which was already showing fine wrinkles, as she announced in a calm tone, "And Yamada-kun, you're currently quite far down my observation list."

"Ms. Tomiyama, I—"

Upon hearing this, Yamada Yuta spoke up somewhat anxiously, wanting to offer some explanation.

His boss's full name is Nazumi Tomiyama, and he is the company's CEO.

Therefore, in principle, Yuta Yamada should address her as President Tomiyama.

However, this President Toyama is a bit special. Perhaps wanting to appear younger, she requires her subordinates to address her as "Miss".

Although he had a lot to say, Yuta Yamada had been working in this society for quite some time and had gradually established his own values ​​for surviving in the workplace.

So naturally he wouldn't provoke this trouble, and instead obediently called for Miss Tomiyama.

"Yamada-kun, you don't want to lose this job, do you?"

However, perhaps not intending to listen to his explanation, Ms. Tomiyama interrupted directly, saying, "You know, jobs are hard to find these days, and jobs with such good conditions as our company are even harder to find."

"So if you don't want to lose your job, you might have to work harder recently, otherwise I'll have to reluctantly fire you. Actually, I'm quite reluctant to let you go, Yamada-kun, after all, you're so hardworking and have the longest overtime hours in the company."

At this point, Ms. Tomiyama paused for a moment, then said to him in a somewhat meaningful tone, "It's a pity that you're not very bright, and you're not very shrewd. You don't know how to get along with your colleagues or how to maintain a good relationship with your boss."

Although he has been in the workforce for quite some time, Yuta Yamada's experience is still too limited.

He naively believed that his low ranking in his boss's eyes was due to his failure to build good relationships with his colleagues or to curry favor with his boss.

So he hurriedly stood up, bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, and promised, "Ms. Tomiyama, I will try my best to get along well with my colleagues and build good relationships with them! Please give me another chance!"
