Mine sinful fall

Vladimir

There wasn’t much time left before the corporate party, just like before the new year. Vlad liked Lina, not just as a girl, but as a very intelligent and valuable employee. But I will have to disappoint him as Lina will not be at work today. She quit. She wrote her resignation yesterday, and I’m going to give it to Vlad today. I’m sure he’ll be bursting into my office any minute. One, two, three, four,” I have no time to say anything before my best friend walks in. He’s not himself, he looks angry. I’m just holding Lina’s statement in my hand.

“Is it true?”

“Is what true?”

“That LIna quit? I called her, but she doesn’t answer, but Natasha knows everything. Isn’t that weird?”

“What’s weird?”

“What? That I don’t know shit, but everyone else does!”

“That’s her statement.”

“Are you serious? Vova, it doesn’t work like that. I know I’m not in charge of your company, and you’re the big boss. But it’s not nice to behave like this. She’s been working with me for the last week! ”

She’s been working with him! Yeah, and I’ve been going crazy with jealousy! No, of course I trust my friend, but not that much. I know he’s capable of charm! And Lina is a simple girl, she does not need much! And I decided, no not for her. I just proposed, and she said yes. That’s all. When it comes to women, it’s best to keep your friends as far away from her as possible. Besides, I’m going to propose to her soon. And when she becomes my wife, then…

“She used to work, now she doesn’t work.”

“Vova, why don’t you forbid her to go out and breathe fresh air at all? You think because you helped with Kostya’s treatment she owes you her life? Yes, you paid for an expensive operation, but that does not give you any right to manipulate Lina like this.”

“Are you crazy, Vlad? I don’t understand you. Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed today, or are you still reeling from last night’s drinks?”

“You don’t own her.”

“I don’t want to quarrel with you about Lina.”

“I’m not fighting with you over her. But you have to understand that she can make her own choices. You can’t lock her up at home and keep her like a bird in a cage! She’s a free person!”

“I know about human rights and I know all the laws. Don’t treat me. You stay out of our lives! I’m going to propose to her soon. You’d better be glad that your friend decided to get rid of his bachelor status and finally get married. And to marry for love, by the way. ”

” Are you sure it’s for love?”Vlad takes a few steps toward me and hovering over the table, and the next second he snatches Lina’s application out of my hands and rips it up in front of me, then throws the scraps in my face!

” Aren’t you taking a lot on yourself, friend?”

“It’s not too much. I’m her immediate superior, aren’t I?”

“I don’t know what you’re getting at.”

“I’ll talk her out of quitting.”

“Stop all this. Vlad, I could get mad.”

“I don’t care.”

“I could fire you! But I don’t want to!”

“There! You can only suppress with your power!”

“What are you talking about? What about you? How long have you been friends with Lina? If so, tell me honestly? You never told her you were in that car, did you? Are you afraid of losing your friend? Or is she more than just a friend to you?”

-“Oh, that’s what this is about. You’re jealous of her. Is that why you decided to limit our communication completely? ”

” I’m not jealous. I trust my woman. But you’ve been acting really weird lately. Maybe you’re in love with her.”

“I would never go against a friend. That’s not how I was brought up, even if I fell in love. No, I’m not in love, if that’s what you mean. Don’t worry, she doesn’t see me as a man either. She’s a very decent girl.”

” I know that. So let’s drop the subject. Lina has a friend. You remember, don’t you? ”

“Masha?”

“Exactly, let me introduce you to her.”

Somehow quickly I changed the subject of the conversation. I still do not trusted Vlad, I knew that he looked at Lena for a reason. You can’t fool me.

“Yes. Let’s have dinner together. She’ll invite Masha, and you’ll come to the cottage.”

“You’re so worried about my love life!”

“Yeah, you’re my friend. Let’s not fight over nothing. I’m not a despot, and I’m not going to restrict Lina from seeing anybody. In fact, I’ve never forbidden her anything. She quit of her own volition, that’s all.”

“I don’t know what got into me, Vov. I’ve just been so sick of everything lately. I’ll have to look for an assistant again, and for sure I’ll get a dumb guy with pumped-up tits instead of brains. ”

“Don’t worry, we’re not hiring dumbasses. I’ll check with Lena, see if she knows anybody. It’s Friday. So I invite Masha to join us?”

“Invite her,” Vlad agrees and leaves my office.
