– Kirochka, you look wonderful! – said Natalya Mikhailovna. She fell in love with Kira for
her reliability. She often ran after all sorts of differences for Natalya Mikhailovna and the other secretaries, although she was absolutely not obliged to do this.
“Thank you,” she replied.
Today she wore her favorite soft pink knee–length knitted dress. The dress was soft, warm and very comfortable. Her hair was braided into her usual side braid.
– Natalya Mikhailovna, do you need to go for something?

No, no, Kirill Alexandrovich asked you to come in. Here, bring him some coffee,” she handed Kira the tray.
And Kira thought that the restless boss had forgotten about her.
“I’ll pour this coffee on his head now,” she muttered under her breath.
– I’m sorry, what?
– That’s me, about mine.
Sinichkina fought with all her might. But the treacherous heart did not want to listen to the arguments of reason and pounded as if preparing for the Olympic Games.

“What else does he want from me?” she
wondered, knocking on the door.
“Yes,” came the familiar bass voice.
The fragile hope that the boss would not be there immediately died.
She entered and saw Cyril sitting at the table. Today he looked angrier than usual. Kira even thought about whether to run away, until he noticed. But he had already taken his eyes off the monitor and greeted her with a nod. Run late.
– Have a seat.
He got up, went to the door, closed it tightly, and met her puzzled gaze. Kira didn’t move. He

took the tray, placed it on the table and pointed
to the sofa.
“Sit down, I said!” The imperious note in his voice forced Kira to obey.
He settled down next to me.
First and foremost, I am your boss. You have no right to ignore my calls.
I didn’t ignore anything!
“You don’t need to build the embodiment of innocence out of yourself. I called you! And several times! – To admit that he managed to call in twice already, and all in vain, he did not.
– Kirill Alexandrovich, if I saw that you called, I

would definitely call back! Kira exclaimed.
She herself began to wonder how she could miss the boss’s calls. However, this could just happen easily – her magic phone loved to discharge when it pleased.
–
– Are we again on “you” and with a patronymic? Kirill asked, darkening even more.
– What has changed? To be honest, I thought you had already forgotten about what happened… – Kira struggled to find the right word, – the incident. I hope we can continue to communicate in a purely professional way.
I think that train has left! Kirill growled.
– Why did you call me?

Cyril was silent for a while and said in a more or less calm tone:
“Actually, I wanted to know how you feel.”
For a second, Kira felt ashamed. After all, he really didn’t do anything bad to her, except for the unfortunate consequences of the first sexual experience. Kira barely remembered what had happened. But he did not pour alcohol into her by force. He must have been as drunk as she was. In addition, he behaved very delicately in the morning. I even bought medicine. As it turned out, he called, he was worried. Yes, what happened to her was unpleasant. However,
both are to blame. Cyril, at least, is trying to make amends for the situation. And she, like a hedgehog, only releases needles.

“It’s all right, I feel good,” she said ashamedly.
Cyril hesitated a bit and continued:
“Uncle Arthur said… there were bruises. I hate to think that I hurt you so much. Trust me, I didn’t mean to…
“Oh, that,” she interrupted him. – Bruises are common. It’s just that the skin is very delicate, the capillaries are closely spaced. A little touch, and immediately a bruise. It’s not worth worrying about. I’m not going to the beach anytime soon.
“I understand,” Kirill sighed with relief.
Is that all you wanted to ask?

“Not really,” he continued after a moment’s hesitation. Kira, I would like to meet you again.
– What for? she blurted out. – You got what you wanted!
– I didn’t want that at all! he protested. More precisely than this, but in a different way. The second time will be better, I promise!
– How many times to repeat that this kind of intrigue does not interest me!
“Are you not interested in intrigues, or am I?” Cyril asked bluntly.
And you in particular!

Without that, Kirill’s gloomy face turned into an
evil mask.
– Then tell me, girl, why the hell are you so zealously answering my kisses? he minted every word.
Kira was embarrassed, paused for a moment and continued:
– Kirill Alexandrovich, please, let’s just forget! Well, it happened and happened. You are a prominent man. I am sure that you do not suffer from the lack of female attention…
“Kira, I’m fine with self–esteem, I’m sure of myself,” he interrupted her.
-I didn’t even doubt it. I just wanted to say that

you will surely find someone more suitable without difficulty.
“But I need you, Kira!” He continued advancing.
– Agree! You will not regret.
Kira was taken aback. Cyril bored her with his eyes and waited for an answer, and she resolutely exhausted all her arguments.
“He’s just unbreakable.”
Then his hand rested on her thigh. Kira choked with indignation and abruptly jumped up.
– This is already at any gate! she blurted out.
– Where are you going? he snarled, and grabbing her by the waist pulled her back onto the couch.

“Get up when I say the conversation is over!”
Understood?
She just nodded, feeling his composure leave him. He grabbed Kira by the shoulders and
kissed her hard. The kiss was wicked and
forceful. He seemed to want to crush her lips
with his own. She had no choice but to let him.
Kira gasped in his arms. He held her tighter and tighter. It seemed like a little more, and it would break her chest. Only after a few endless minutes did he break away from Kira’s lips and
look at her.
There were tears in her eyes, and her hands hung limply.
“Kira, I’m sorry,” he squeezed out and let go.

Two days passed, but Kirill could not bring himself to calm down. It was worth closing your eyes, and here you are, please, her image is right there. He doubted that he would ever be able to forget that frightened look. He tried to evoke completely different feelings in her. I wished for something else with all my heart. But what came out happened. He blamed only himself, his intemperance and temper. However, Sinichkina did not give him any hope before.
“Not mine, she doesn’t want me, she doesn’t

need me,” she was spinning in her head.
Kirill understood that he just needed to step aside, stop thinking about her. But he couldn’t.
Still alive were the memories of how nice it was
to hold it in your hands. Even the sound of her voice made his whole being tremble.
“Stay away from me,” echoed in my ears.
Nothing else remains. But he still needs to apologize. No, not in person and not in words.
Talking with her, as practice has shown, he did
poorly. Action is needed. Yes, such that she
remembers Cyril with a smile. That’s what he
can do.
Having made a decision, Kirill began to scroll through the options in his head. Immediately

dismissed the usual trips to boutiques and jewelry stores. Kira is a more complex girl. Yes, and disagree.
I went to her VKontakte page. Didn’t know what he was looking for. I began to look through all the information. Caressed with a glance of her photographs from the Black Sea coast. I laughed at the comic New Year’s posts and wishes. Get further. I found out that Kira is not
indifferent to jokes about cats and blondes, loves melodrama and, it seems, is seriously interested in interior design.
– What is it?
He opened the December photo, where the blonde sat in an embrace with a drawing book
and looked plaintively into the camera.

“Take it to KIID!” the photo said. There were a few comments below. Mostly friendly: with wishes to go to college by all means, not to despair, and so on.
“KID… Something familiar.
Cyril entered the name into the search engine. I opened the first link and immediately recognized the photo. Still not to know, because the new wing of the college building was built
by Polaris. I remember that the vice–rector of the college promised Kirill all kinds of assistance
on any issues.
Kirill rummaged through the phone book and fished out the right number.

Half an hour later he was informed that
Sinichkina Kira had indeed tried to enter the
KIID twice already. A few minutes later, Kirill found out why he had failed. Everything turned out to be very simple. Upon admission, priority was given to those students whose parents contributed feasible sponsorship to the college fund. When the vice–rector announced the
figure, Kirill whistled involuntarily. Five hundred thousand- and Kira would have a budget place in his pocket. This information, of course, was not advertised anywhere, however, budget places were sold out a year in advance.
