Job does not specify hours of work. Yet I still feel guilty when I leave before anyone else

I am in a middle managers position in a new job that has start time (8.00am) but no finishing hours. Instead they trust that you will do your job and can go home whenever after 15.20 unless meetings and other stuff requires you to stay. I have never worked in a job like this… I wake up at 5.30 to be before 7.00 working and I always finish my work before 4.00 pm. However I feel bad leaving at 4 or before because I feel self-conscious. But my hard work, results, proactiveness and leadership are there. Do you have any tips or suggestions for me? I always have this strange feeling that I should stay longer just to appear more hard working and I feel anxious and stressed that they will tell me about leaving earlier than peers and bosses..
