Clients

I didn't tell my business partners and clients about that I was going to quit the office at the end of this month. I had decided to tell one person a day about it but I couldn't do it today too.
Especially, their smiling is painful for me.

I had two meeting with my clients. A meeting in the morning was about the new project and another one in the afternoon was about a bank building which was going to start construction this December. I'm drawing its plans now and I will finish it in a week. I listed the clients' demands in the meetings.
They smiled at me and asked some questions and said that we were going to rely on you.
If I could listen to such a wonderful words from my customer, I must be happy even if I didn't do this job. Of course, I'm glad. I must have started to work long time ago dreaming of becoming a trusted adult. When the dream comes true, am I not interested in it? Should I blame me?

You have educated me. Thanks to you, I have grown as an architect. You were always kind and polite. You have no relation to my resignation. I have to make my apologies for my sudden leaving. I will remember your kindness forever.

What I can tell my clients now is that's all.
It's too serious for me. I might not have to write it in English.

だけ、とは思わないけど。一理あるね。
