Він сказав, що пішов на роботу, хоча залишився

Every day was full of hustle and bustle, and I took a day off from work for a short vacation. But I didn't tell my wife that I was taking a day off. Instead, I reasoned that I would be out of town for a few days, but in fact I was going on a staycation with another woman, she was my assistant at the office.
