"So we're back to the routine." Shizune was stretching a bit as she said that, she was sitting in the passenger seat inside Kurono's car while he just took a seat as well.
"Yeah, I wouldn't say I missed it, but it still feels a bit relaxing to know that everything stays the same." Kurono fastened his seat belt and Shizune repeated the same action.
It wasn't long before Kurono started the car and began their journey. The morning light indicated that it was quite early for him and he was heading to work but not before leaving Shizune at home.
"That's right, I forgot to call Kazumi to tell her that we're back now, I guess I'll send her a message." Shizune was saying all that as she opened her bag and searched for her cell phone.
She didn't take long to find it and the first thing she saw was the large number of messages from Kazumi, she began to read them, with some she couldn't help letting out a small laugh while answering others, and that same attitude had caught the attention of Kurono.
"It still amazes me how well you get along with her." Kurono was sincere, it was true that Shizune and Kazumi's attitude was somewhat different, even though he had a hard time keeping up with Kazumi, but he was happy that they got along quite well, which made him not worry about it.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Kazumi, besides helping me all this time in the gym, we also became very good friends." Shizune showed a slight smile since having Kazumi as a friend made her quite happy since she didn't know many people in the city… Although maybe I should work on it a bit. "By the way, do you want to go later? I want to go to the gym as much as possible these days since I plan to dedicate myself completely to taking care of Rena since the next few months will be delicate"
"Yes, counts on me. I also wish you luck with taking care of Rena-san, I don't think I should mention anything about her since you know her well."
"Sigh... I know, do you know that once she had a fever she ran away from home to go to a party with her friends? I don't even want to think about what she can do even with her pregnancy." That memory came to Shizune's mind, and she perfectly remembered how she had scolded Rena away that time.
"Haha, maybe I should be surprised, but it doesn't. Even so, I think Rena-san fully understands her situation and she won't do anything exaggerated… By the way, we're here." Kurono had slowed down the car and then parked.
Shizune had thanked Kurono for bringing her, she had also given him a quick kiss goodbye and was about to leave, but before she did that, she noticed the pair of figures that had just come down the stairs of the apartment and were approaching. quickly to Kurono's car.
"You're finally here! I was even about to call you because I thought you had fallen asleep." Kurono had opened the car window when he also noticed the figures of Rena and Akio.
"Good morning mother, Kurosawa-san." Akio felt somewhat embarrassed, Rena had practically dragged him with her to the plan she had in mind and he didn't know how it would turn out.
"Good morning to both of you, is something wrong?" Kurono had to ask since he assumed that Rena had something on her mind.
"That's right, Kurono-san, could you take us with you?" And those words made both Shizune and Kurono look at the young couple with some confusion. "You see, there's a mall near your company and I was going to convince mom to take me shopping for some things, and since you were going to bring mom, plus Akio also goes to work, I thought we could put all that together."
Rena's idea made a lot of sense… Although that itself had made Shizune not know how to feel as she covered her face with her hand. Before, she and Kurono talked about Rena not doing crazy things because of her situation, but that idea had already been broken.
"I think there's no problem with that, go ahead, go up." Kurono just chuckled internally as he could guess what was on Shizune's mind.
Rena celebrated a bit as she got into the car at the same time that Akio apologized for her inconvenience and thanked Kurono. Shizune began to scold Rena a bit, but she didn't understand why, although Rena also convinced Shizune since she told her that what she was going to buy was some things for the baby.
Needless to mention that little trip was full of talk, and although the most that was heard was Rena's voice telling many things about the trip, but everyone still enjoyed that little moment.
…
Kurono had followed the path he took almost every day, a large building had appeared in his field of vision and he drove to what appeared to be its parking lot after a security guard noticed the car and immediately knew who it was and let him pass.
The car stopped in an open space, a concrete roof preventing sunlight from reaching and hitting the cars around it. The spaces were perfectly divided to maintain good order in the place, and since Kurono had stopped the car, everyone knew that they had reached their destination.
Earlier, Shizune and Rena had also seen the huge building, it was actually the first time for both of them since they had never been to the place where Kurono and Akio worked, so they were a bit surprised.
"This place is huge, and it's just the parking lot." Rena couldn't help but say that once she got out of the car.
"I think the main reason for that is because it's an open place, I don't think you'd think the same way if you see the main offices, sometimes I feel like it's like a prison." Maybe those words wouldn't matter much if they were said by an ordinary worker, but that had been said by Kurono, the president of the same company... Which reminded him that he had to fix that in the future. "How much time do we have left, Akio-kun?"
"There are still ten minutes to go, Kurosawa-san." When Akio heard Kurono's question, an idea came to his mind, and that idea was the same one that was in Kurono's mind...
