I ended up going on a town association trip alone with the chairman. My wife, who serves as the secretary of the neighborhood association, needed to inspect the inn beforehand as part of her pre-trip preparations. Originally, the chairman, his wife, and my wife were supposed to visit together, but the chairman's wife suddenly fell ill and couldn't make it. As a result, it became just the chairman and my wife traveling together. With this unexpected turn of events, I can sense their relationship is about to grow much deeper.
