*This is a cryptic story
The other day my ex-colleague dropped by my work place.
In the past, despite our busy married life, we would often find time to go drinking together.
As it was sometime since we'd seen each other, we went to a nearby cafe to catch up on each other's lives.
I asked, "how are things with you? Behaving badly as always?"
In reply, he grinned and started telling me a story:
Since a year ago, he started dating a girl 10 years younger than him.
Last year, around the Christmas period, he spent the 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th of December in her apartment.
As expected, his action had a huge negative impact on his family life.
He actually had enough conscience to feel a twinge of guilt about leaving his little daughter at home, so he decided to go home on the 25th, around 7.00 in the evening.
But his girlfriend would not allow it, of course, and tried to stop him from going by throwing a tantrum. They had a huge fight and after much struggle he was finally able to shake himself free of her grip and get in the elevator to leave.
He was laughing as he concluded the story with:
"And guess what? When I stepped out of the building's entrance, she was there."
This is a true story (to avoid being identified, I've faked the details)

Yes, my guess is also that she jumped to her death.
And yes, he's laughing because he is basically a nasty bastard.
Have a nice day, and rest assured that more posts are coming! :D
But after reading the comments, I have to agree that it makes more sense that the girl jumped to her death.
What a sad story. It's a great writing Saya-san. Thank you :D
-nunu-
On Christmas day, he was about to leave when the girlfriend threatened to tell his wife about their affair.
They stayed at a tall building (at the top which is why he needed to use the elevator)
There was a huge fight that probably led to the window or something and she was trying to hold on to him for life, but he shook her off and she fell to her death. He killed her.
Just a theory.
