14 Chapter
After removing the alarm from the car I open the doors and take my phone out of my pocket, which begins to vibrate.
“Thank you.”
I go around and get behind the wheel and answer the phone.
“Yes.”
“Good morning! What’s up? How’s it going? “Vlad’s chipper voice comes on.
“I’ve been fed a delicious breakfast.”
” Breakfast and no sex?”
“Vlad, don’t rub it in.”
“All right, all right, you’ll get it later.”
” How are you doing?” I start the engine and look at Lina, who’s looking at me curiously.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
” I’m fine,” she says and then shuts off.
“Vladimir… I would like to clarify… “squeezes out Lina nervously, biting her lower lip seductively.
“Angelina Rostova, I thought we agreed,” I turn away irritably, looking at the road.
“I’m not going to push you. In the office only business relations, outside of friendship.”
God, did I really say that?! Friendly, really? I’ve completely lost my mind!
“Great,” he exhales in relief and relaxes back in his seat, spreading a smile. And I smile back. That’s it, call me an ambulance… This woman is literally driving me crazy!
“You know… I still feel really bad about what I did yesterday… Why don’t you come over for dinner tonight?” I can’t even catch my breath. She’s inviting me to dinner? SHE?
“I thought you liked what I made, and I…”
Am I dreaming?! Lina’s inviting me over?
“I wanted you to meet a friend of mine. I thought you two might hit it off.”
Oh, no. Reality! She just decided to divert my attention to another woman… She seems like a smart woman.
“Vladimir, what do you say? I have to say something.”
“That’s a great idea, I’ll take you home after work.”
“Don’t be silly, she interrupts me hastily.”
“I have to go to the store, and I have to tell my girlfriend.”
“Okay, I’ll pick you up at whatever time you say.”
I have neither the strength nor the desire to argue with her. I’m stopping in front of the office.
“Shit! I was going to take you home!” My mind’s gone completely to mush.
“Oh, no, no, no, I’m full of energy and ready to work. I’ll expect you for dinner at 8:00.” Lina approaches and touches my cheek with her lips.
“Have a good day!” She wishes me and rushes out of the car, leaving me at a loss to look behind her. A light kiss on the cheek caused a typhoon inside, and not just in my pants, fuck!
Lina
Work in the office was going at its usual pace. Everything was as easy and simple as ever. Except that my thoughts were occupied by Vladimir… If originally his behavior terribly annoyed me and made me feel, if not disgusted, then certainly negative, then yesterday and today … He opened up to me a completely different side. Maybe he wasn’t as bad as I thought.
“Angelina, what are you thinking about?” Natasha asked me when we were standing at the coffee machine.
“So-and-so,” she waved her hand carelessly, picking up a cup with a hot drink.
“Your “so-and-so” is not in the best mood today, can you tell me what’s going on?” she smiled slyly, folding her arms and looking into my eyes. I blinked nervously.
“What are you talking about? ” I asked, as indifferently as possible.
“Well, yesterday you were fired… And today you’re working as if nothing had happened. I wouldn’t be surprised if you spent the night together and..”
” Natasha, where and with whom I spend the night is none of your damn business. Stay out of my personal life!” I blurted out irritably.
“Yes, and the decision about firing and hiring is not in your competence. Better watch your direct duties, while you still have them.”
I do not know what kind of fly stung me, but it was the girl made me lose my temper. Why does she even care?
” How evil we are. Now it’s definitely safe to say that you haven’t had sex. You’re both cranky,” Natasha grumbled, and I turned away, heading for my office. But I ran into Vladimir’s firm chest and accidentally spilled coffee on it.
“Oh, shit!” I hissed, glancing down my wet shirt and catching my boss’s reproachful look. – Sorry!
“It’s okay, Angelina,” he smiled softly and glanced at his secretary, adding glumly.
“And you heed the advice and scratch your seat!”
“Yes, boss,” she mumbled, immediately beginning to head for her desk.
“You have sharp claws, Lina,” grinned Vladimir, looking at the dark stain on the snow-white fabric. It became completely embarrassing and embarrassing.
“Only for the ones I don’t like,” she answered, smiling sadly.
“Can I wash it for you?”
“No need to worry, I have a change in my office. Are we still on for dinner?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Well, see you tonight, Lina,” he winked and moved along the corridor, and I clutched my half-empty cup in confusion, looking after him. What are you, Vladimir, after all? Oh God, I’m really curious… That’s it, Lina, this is the beginning of your end. The last thing I need is to fall in love with my boss!
