this development is too rushed for Gonda and Kaori...
I get that they are just side Chara, same with the assistant manager (was it confirmed he got divorced? what about his kid? custody? going blond? seriously?), but give some solid development and conclusion instead of just half-hearted show and move on....
Gonda and Kaori should meet and talk face to face, she got scared and didn't meet him, and he regret his first reaction, but they never talked about it with each other but instead with a their friend only (MC and the one that came to meet Gonda) and that's not a proper solution to the whole thing.
