Mine sinful fall

Vlad

“Hi, Vlad. We’ll be there soon with Lina. You’re in charge. We’ll have lunch together.”

“Vov, are you out of your mind? We have an important meeting today. With Makarsky, remember?”

“I forgot. Well, you’ll be able to convince him that our bank is the best option for her. I believe in you,” Vova immediately started to blame everything on me. Okay, stop. Are they together? He’s with Lina now?

“You’ve been together since yesterday? Did she spend the night at your place?”

“You already know everything. Why are you asking stupid questions? Yes, we’re together now. Do you mind?”

“Why would I mind? I don’t know her and I’ve never seen her in person.”

“You’ll get to know her. You didn’t want to host last night. I found an alternative for Lin. We went to my country house. Where we could sort out what’s been going on between us all these days, away from prying eyes.”

“Even so. I’m happy for you.”

“Lina needs my support. I really fell in love with her, and I think her heart will thaw soon, too. At least she gave me a chance.”

“I’m sure she gave you plenty yesterday.”

“Don’t be jealous, friend. Envy is stifling. You’re not a toad, Vlad.”

“No, I’m not and I never have been. Everybody’s got a life. I thank you for a lot of things.”

“I’m grateful to you. You pulled me through school.”

“What about that mysterious guy she met online?”

“There is no guy. She made the whole thing up. She didn’t admit it, but at least she didn’t speak for him anymore. She wasn’t into it last night. We both were. And sex was a pretty effective way for her to calm down a little bit. Did you talk before or after?”

“Both before and after. She’s still asleep right now. And you know, she’s so cute, she’s wrapped up in a blanket, and I don’t even want to wake her up. What do you think, should I leave her at the cottage? Come to the office myself?”

“You just warn her, or she won’t understand that you left her alone in bed and left. I don’t think she knows the area either.”

“Yeah, she wanted to walk yesterday when she realized I didn’t bring her home. But I convinced her to stay.”

“Oh, yeah. I know you well enough. You’re more persuasive than anybody.”

“Don’t be sarcastic, Vlad. So, when’s the meeting?”

“In half an hour.”

“Shit! There’s no way I’m gonna make it in time. Vlad, why don’t you call in sick? Or make something up. I don’t want to go to work.”

“Listen, you’ve been skipping a lot, boss.”

“Yeah, there’s a very good reason for that.”

“All right, I’ll go see him myself today. But don’t set me up like that again.”

“You’re the best. Let’s go to the cottage after Makarsky. How much longer? It’s time you two finally met.”

“If it works out, I’ll be there.”

“No ifs. We’ll be waiting for you,” Vova declares and hangs up.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

What should I do?

Today I definitely can’t avoid meeting Rostova. Damn! And that Makarsky. He’ll eat my brain with a teaspoon before agreeing to a deposit. Yeah, it’s gonna be a tough day.
