Revenge – served cold - стр. 32

So when Andrew said the sacramental: "Let's begin". I was ready to kiss him with happiness.

I lowered myself into the chair and stretched out my buzzing legs. Now I understood and bowed before the labor of waitresses. How much patience and health to work in such a mode all day long!

Thinking of the waiters, I remembered Mila. Her thirst for activity must be controlled! She had said the boys were here, we should see!

I jumped up and ran to the staff quarters. She was in a madhouse! Six guys in their twenties were trying to change their clothes. Mila snuck between them and interfered with each with advice.

" Yura, tuck in your shirt. Mishenka, little girl, the butterfly must be straight!

"Baby," standing in his shirt and underpants, dropped his pants and began to adjust his bowtie.

" Sweetie, there are some bottles in the cupboard: whiskey, cognac, please take them out. I need to take them to the front desk.

Catching the appreciative looks from all the guys, I realized I was going in the right direction. Sweetie needs to be neutralized!

While she got the bottles out, I took the tray and put the right glasses on it. I'm sure you'll need them soon enough. Men in general like to discuss important matters with a glass in their hands.

" Please help me carry it to the waiting room.”

Sweetie was eager to follow me. For good reason, as it turns out.”

" Your place is so stylish and beautiful! Do you often order waiters?

" For every council and big meetings.”

" Oh, that's great. I'm ready to help with all the preparations.”

I nodded in agreement, vowing never to use their company again!

Dumping the glasses on the table behind the palm tree, I turned to her to cool her fervor a bit. Maybe if she took offense and left, the serving of lunch would go off without incident?

The conference room door opened and a board member stepped out. He walked purposefully toward us, looked at the glasses, chose one for whiskey and turned to Mila. She readily filled it. Having drunk in a gulp, he put the glass down and returned to the conference room. All this in silence!

I looked at him in complete bewilderment and turned to Mila.

" It happens," she shrugged philosophically.

I didn't have time to answer, this time Mr. Brow came into the waiting room. He chose a cognac and made sure that the glass was full, drank it in one gulp and left.

From that moment on, a whole joint pulled out of the conference room. Sweetie became the bartender, and I ran to the restroom to wash glasses. As a result, it was no surprise that when lunch started to be served, everyone was a little tipsy.
