Mine sinful fall

LinaPlease check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

I got a call this morning from the doctor who is managing Kostya with some very unpleasant news. Kostya has complications, brain swelling, and his vision is getting worse. And yesterday it was relatively better, and now I just can’t find myself. And he should not worry at all, his heart is weak, and now this attack. Why? I could kill his girlfriend. I couldn’t get through to her yesterday. I’m sure she was already warm in someone else’s arms last night. Kostik, how gullible we Rostovs are. You can’t do that. How much more money will we have to spend on the treatment? Where to get it? Yesterday I did not have enough for one medicine, so I had to call Masha and ask her to transfer it to the card. Okay, I have to pack up and go, but I have to warn my boss. I dial his number and I hear in the tube a fairly calm voice of Vova.

“Good morning, Angelina.”

” I’ll be late today. There’s a problem, Bones has a complication, swelling and he’s starting to lose his vision.”

“Well, that’s too bad, of course.”

“Can I take the afternoon off?”

“You don’t have to come at all.”

” No, I have a report.”

“Okay, you’re stubborn. Have it your way. But can I at least drive you to the hospital?”

“Okay, I don’t want to fight it.”

“Fine, I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”

“Okay,” I agree with him, and before he arrives I decide to make breakfast, toast and fruit tea, I’ve already showered and even dressed for the weather. A thin knit beige sweater and warm brown pants.

I decided to call Mashka.

“Hi, how are you?”

“Not good. Kostya’s in trouble.”

“Yeah? Something serious?”

“Yeah. I’m going to the hospital now.”

“By the way, did you know that Vova has a cute friend? “She asks and I don’t know what to say, because I don’t know him.

“No, I didn’t.”

“Yes, I do. I ran into them together yesterday by chance. He’s so cute. I liked him.”

“All I know is that I’ll have another boss when he comes back from Egypt. That’s all I know.”

“Yeah, that must be him.”

“Now I’m gonna have to take the fall for two.”

“Lina, you’re lucky. You work with such handsome men.”

“Especially with Vladimir.”

“Especially with him. I don’t understand you at all. He’s a great guy. All the more reason for you to enjoy sex with him.”

“Masha, don’t.”

“Are you going to deny it?”

“Masha,” I’m warning my friend.

“Okay, but then don’t bite your elbows if someone steals him away.”

“Are you referring to yourself?”

“No, not me. How many hunters for rich and devilishly attractive men.”

“Mash, I’ll pay you back as soon as I get my paycheck.”

” Don’t worry about it. It’s okay.”

“Thank you.”

“Is the boss at least picking you up? Take you to the hospital?”

“Mash, he doesn’t have to.”

“But he will?”

“He offered.”

“A man like that is literally lost. You’re callous.”

“You do not understand.”

“Yeah, well, I don’t make trouble for nothing like you do. Well, let’s hope that Kostik will be all right. ”

“You’re right, that’s the most important thing right now.”

” Have you told your parents yet?”

” No. I don’t even know how to do that.”

“Yeah, I do. Okay, I’m gonna get some more sleep. I worked till 1:00 yesterday.”

” I’ll call you,” I say, and she drops the call.

So I get to see another one of my bosses today? I hope that he will be different in character from Vladimir, otherwise I just can’t stand it. May he really be as sweet as Mashka described.
