The other day we saw this man having lunch at 5pm and my friend and I wondered what was going on.
At least it reminded me about the Raymond-Rachel story. Raymond always used to have his lunch at 5 pm after work and the mystery was that it was not that he usually stayed in the office over lunch hour. If anything the minute 1:00 pm sharp reached, he would rush out at breakneck speed.
One did not need to be too observant to realize that Rachel too would usually do the same. Rachel was “happily” married and was a senior editor in the office. Raymond was not only married, the man had two wives.
The two would usually end up in a nearby lodging and would spend an hour of passionate love making, shower and make it back to the office by 2pm. Colleagues could not help noticing that Rachel would always come back for the afternoon session glowing.
The couple are not the only ones who use their lunch break in this weird manner. Many office workers who get very physically attracted to one another and cannot help themselves usually rush out for some lunch time action and many of them work much harder during that one hour than they have done the entire morning for their employers.
The same folks then innocently have their lunch at 5pm while others innocently go home to their spouses pretending that nothing has happened but looking like the cat that has drunk the milk in the fridge that you thought you firmly shut.
