33 Chapter
Vlad
As much as I didn’t want to go anywhere or see Lina today, I just couldn’t put it off any longer.
I called a cab and, without stopping on my way home, headed for the dacha.
“Hi, good to see you,” a happy and satisfied friend opened the door for me.
“You, too.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
I went into the house. I had been to his house more than once, and even more than once. Vova often left me the keys so that I could impress the girl, and at the same time check her out. I was needed or still a rich life. And as always, the second option won out.
“How’d it go? Sit down? Whiskey or cognac?” Vova offers at once, and I look around to see where Lina is now. Could it be that she decided to leave?
“Whiskey or cognac? Friend, what are you hanging around for?”
“Uh… Yeah. Whiskey. That went well.”
“That’s great.”
“Where’s Lina? ” I dared to ask. Because I didn’t see any women’s shoes or coats in the living room.
“She’s in the garden. She went for a walk. She’s tired of being in the house. And I was waiting for you, so if you don’t mind, may we join her?”
“I don’t mind,” he said, but he was really very much against it. It’s good that I did not have time to undress, Vova was also fully dressed, only the outer clothing was left and shoes for both of us.
It was unreal snowing outside, on the one hand it was beautiful, but on the other hand it was scary. As if so will be a snowstorm all night we can not leave.
I like to sit at home in such weather, unlike Vova I am a real romantic. And that is my biggest problem. I can’t just brazenly take a girl I like.
We were on our way to the door when it opened and there was a girl in it.
It was her. I knew right away.
” Lina, and we have guests. Here, my best friend and your boss. Vlad. ”
” Nice to meet you. I’ve already been introduced to you,” she answered and began to shake off the snow.
Vova helped her to undress, even unbuttoned her boots. I did not recognize my friend, I had never noticed such impulses in him.
“Thank you,” Lina thanked him.
She speaks to me as you, she thanks him. She’s well-mannered and intelligent enough. And a real beauty at that. Fair skin, red lips, blue eyes. Her hair is long and her figure is just right. Yes, now I fully appreciate my friend’s choice and he is worthy! Not a pacifier, not a huntress. I could tell. No makeup, no expensive clothes. Simple. But that’s what’s so great about her.
She doesn’t yell at me. So we must conclude that she doesn’t know I hit her brother. I just took the blame, and he threw himself under the wheels, but it’s very hard to change your mind about these things when you don’t want to believe anybody.
“It got so cold out there, I decided to go back. Vova, why don’t you invite Vlad in?”
“That’s how we wanted to follow you.”
“Well, there’s no point now, is there? Are you hungry?” He turns to me.
“Yes, I didn’t even have time for lunch at work. That’s what happened.”
“Then you came just in time. I just made mushroom soup. Do you want some?”
” I will. ”
“Lina, the weather’s awful. Can’t Vlad stay with us?”
– Of course, why send a man back in this weather? I’m all for it. Vlad? Does my boss have a middle name?
“Vladislav Sergeyevich.”
“Very nice to meet you.”
“Lina, let’s not be so formal. ”
“You’re my boss, aren’t you?”
“Yes, but. ”
“Vlad, I understand, but I can’t help it. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll go warm up dinner,” she declares and leaves.
“That’s her nature. Now do you understand how hard it is to deal with her?”
Vova starts crying right away.
“She’s just right, and that’s not a minus.”
“Let’s get undressed. There’s no point in going outside. Let’s have lunch, and then you’ll tell me in detail what Makarskiy told you.”
