– And in what?
“How can I explain… You are my boss. Even my boss’s boss. It’s wrong, it’s not good.
Kirill visibly tensed up. Happiness vanished from his face. He pulled up at the five–story Khrushchev building where Sinichkina lived and said coldly:
“Maybe you should be fired if that’s the case?” The problem will be solved.
The passenger blushed like a tomato caressed by the August sun.
“How good it is! And disheveled hair does not

spoil the picture. The nose is small, neat. Lips. with a bow, so I would have kissed. The eyes are large and fearful. Why blurted out about the dismissal? How can you fire her, the red maiden.
– OK Go. It’s okay,” he said in a hoarse voice.
Kira jumped out of the car like a bullet, even forgot to say goodbye.

– I got exhausted. No more strength to ride on the edge. I want to spend at least a couple of weeks at home,” Kirill complained, rubbing his face with his hands.

– Hold on, buddy. Nothing to sag before the general presentation. Something else I thought. That’s how your dad went to great lengths for investors,” Nathan summed up, gesturing around the banquet hall.
Friends were sitting at a table against the far wall – from there the whole room was in full view.
The Polaris banquet hall looked wonderful. The wide windows were adorned with new silver designer curtains, which visually enlarged the already huge room. On the opposite side from the entrance, a mahogany stage was constructed, tables and chairs were placed around the perimeter. Decorators scurried around the hall, covering the tables with snow–white tablecloths, arranging vases and

adding here and there various ruffles, bows and other attributes of the holiday.
Cheer up, tomorrow is a big day! Have you prepared your speech yet? Nathan asked.
Cyril nodded.
– That’s wonderful. I also sketched mine… – Nathan began to read out a speech.
Cyril listened to his friend and at the same time looked around the room in search of flaws.
At that moment, the door opened and a girl entered with a tray laden with coffee cups. A decent distance separated Kirill from the owner of the blond head, but he immediately recognized her.
Chapter 6
Kira moved with tiny steps, trying to hold the tray. She had to walk a long distance to the stage table, where snacks were prepared for the decorators. A short light blue dress hugged her slender figure. The curls are braided.
Cyril admired and completely forgot about his friend.
– Jupiter reception, calling the Earth. How is it heard? Where are we looking at? Oh, great, they brought coffee. But I have a strong feeling that this baby will not carry the tray to the table.
“I’ll go and help,” Kirill said curtly and headed towards the newcomer.
“Get me a cup!” Nathan chuckled.

Kirill did not even try to understand what force made him rush to Sinichkina, because he forgot to think about her. I haven’t seen her for a long time, although I used to often see her in the hall. Usually he was limited to observation from a distance, but today, like a magnet, he could not resist. A painfully familiar desire to squeeze her in his arms stirred in his soul.
Seeing him, Kira immediately stopped.
“Better not come near, otherwise something will happen again,” she warned.
Hello to you too! I did not know that even the accounting department was contracted to prepare for the banquet. Let’s help.

He took the tray from Kira’s hands and moved towards the stage. She obediently walked
along. Putting the tray on the table, Kirill turned to her:
– Bored?
– Highly! Especially my jacket missed. She was so bored that she refused to wash. Straight up, can you imagine? I persuaded her with different powders and bleach, but she didn’t! I will leave, he says, stains in memory of Kirill Alexandrovich…
“Enough,” he interrupted her. – Let’s go to.
– Where?
Cyril did not answer, grabbed bark

and led her to the exit. He only stopped when he brought Kira into a small empty office next door. There was nothing in the office but a table, a couple of chairs, and an empty shelving unit.
Kirill tightly closed the door and commanded:
– Sit down.
Kira carefully sat down on one of the chairs. He picked up another and sat down beside her. He took the shy woman’s hands in his, lightly squeezed her palms, forcing her to look into her
eyes.
“Kira, stop running around and coming up with excuses from me. I need you, you understand?
– What for? Do you have an unhealthy attraction

to clumsy accountants? I can name three better candidates right off the bat,” she said with a smile.
– You don’t have to joke now. Let’s talk like adults. What do you want? I’m ready to do everything.
Kirill Alexandrovich…
– You can use “you” without a patronymic.
– Okay, Cyril. Sorry, I can’t use “you,” she answered, and after a pause she continued: “We have already talked about this topic. It’s not about what you’re willing to do or not do for me. There must be subordination in the team,

“Forget your principles for a moment,” he interrupted her again. I repeat, I need you! One evening, weekend is better. And that’s it. What am I asking too much?
Yes, you are asking too much!
“Give me one good reason why you can’t spend time with me.” Look at you! Girls with this appearance are usually in great demand. Probably, you’ve been jumping on beds since you were fifteen?
– Why do you say that? You don’t know me at all! she protested loudly.
I drew a conclusion from the way you squirmed in my office. This, by the way, proves that I am not at all disgusting to you. So what’s up, girl?

– I have a fiancé! Kira snapped, looking at him sternly. – I’m not cheating on him.
Cyril squeezed her palms much harder than he should have. But she didn’t scream, she just grimaced.
“That’s where you should have started, Kira,” he said in an icy tone, released her and went out, slamming the door with a bang.
