THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 106's. My Svetluny is Missing 2
"Boss what's up? You didn't know it was a weekend I had a date." Anna arrived grumbling this weekend because I told her to come, although the distance we were in was not that far. My face is wrinkled due to lack of sleep.
"Why you? Why is your face so fucked up?" He noticed my chaotic appearance and not getting enough sleep last night.
"Ann, please call Monica for me."
"Monica? Why should ..." He looked at me with various questions on his face coming to his own conclusion. "Monica left you Boss?"
"How did you know?" I don't know how he came to such a conclusion, I didn't even know he would suddenly leave me.
"I talked to Monica a few weeks ago about why you look like a gray cloud, she told me you had a problem and that you'd most likely split up, she didn't tell me why, she said, he said to ask you, maybe I can help you. I didn't ask because you didn't tell me either. But now it seems you're not helped anymore."
"I never wanted to part with him, he asked me to give up the position of CEO in Moscow,...." I told some of the outlines of our disagreement to Anna who was listening quietly. He took a deep breath after hearing my story.
"You know, I totally understand what Monica wants. If I was in Monica's position I would ask that too. What's the point of you getting caught up in your desire to go back to Moscow, is getting back Margarita is so important to you that you let go of the girl you love." Anna's words are the same as Moon's. I saw the coffee mug in front of me, I could arrange this just need time, but he didn't believe me.
"It's not like that. Not revenge..." Well there may be grudges, but it's not entirely like that. It might be true as Moon said, for a moment it was like the purpose of my life to go back there.
"You don't see it that way, but Monica and I see it that way. What are you after? Satisfaction with revenge or happiness with a loved one. Monica didn't ask you for anything hard she just asked you to think more about your family's future."
"He didn't we move to Moscow, and he didn't want any security disturbances. That I can fulfill. I can manage how I can keep an eye on Moscow without going there too often."
"CEO but live in another city? You're looking for Boss's trouble." Anna laughed a little at me calling out my plan.
I don't understand why they think it can't be done. Yes well, it will be difficult at first I need to settle long enough in Moscow but then there will be a time when I can be much freer. But maybe it is hard to accept, but much better without compromise.
"I'm compromising on why he's not compromising."
"Such means you're going to spend 3/4 of your time in Moscow all year and 1/4 in Montreal, that's what you want to say right?"
"Yes, is that a problem. Isn't that a compromise, in the early years it might be like that, but after that I could have more in Montreal, or we could have stayed in another European country that he wanted."
"I'll push it, I can do that."
Anna looked at me skeptically. I guess just like Monica saw me like that too. It might be difficult for him to accept a compromise like the one on my mind. But even that I can't say it yet but he's gone first."
"Can you call Monica." Anna's looking.
"You want to find out where he is?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Let's say, if I want to talk to him, I have to talk to him myself. If he finds you taking over the conversation, he won't take my calls again. To persuade him to tell me where he is better I'm going forward instead of you."
"Okay, I think so too."
"I'll try to find it okay. But I didn't promise she'd tell me where she was. And actually the most important thing is that you have to consider fulfilling his wishes. Isn't that the main thing."
"Yes I know." Considering her wish, I considered it but she wouldn't even listen to it.
"Do you think my arrangement is too complicated." I asked Anna.
"I'll give you a parable. It was like trying to hold two birds with two hands. You're wrong you're gonna lose both. I think it's better to hold tightly to one. That's all..." He patted my arm. "Then I go home. I will try to reach it, maybe by sending a message first to approach it, I do not guarantee the results will be fast, but at least I try to approach it.
Anna goes I fall into contemplation. Everyone thinks I'm the problem. Heading the headquarter is something I dreamed about for a long time. I've prepared a lot of compromise plans.
But is it really too complicated, is it true that I have to let go of Moscow. Why doesn't he talk to me first. It was as if he had left with a line of emails.
Svetluny, if I find you, first I'll be angry. You're giving me a headache.
