Why don't you look at it alone?
Have you seen it yet?
I've seen everything in the process.
Ooh, that's interesting. Rutra Tigrovich, let's see what you're doing with your female employees," his colleague joked with the curiosity of a teenager.
Oh, come on. I'll look at it separately first, then I'll decide.
No, no, please allow us to enjoy such a racy scene.
That's enough, honorable Parmenides.
It was a secret, though official for the center, name of a scientist. Rutra stood up, went into the next room.
Can I come with you?
Ruthra wanted to forbid it, but changed his mind. She must have been a good judge of human nature. If it had been an order, he would have refused immediately, but this was a request.
Okay, only up to a point, most likely.
I agree.
Did you do it out of curiosity? Or did a friend ask you to?
No-" the scientist interrupted her. So she's allowed?
That's enough. You can watch it later.
I'm not interested alone.
Well, bring your girlfriend.
This is an interesting topic, by the way.
Oh, I don't think I'm in here.
Uh, no. Let's go.
They went into the next room, Ruthra sat down at the monitor, and Iulia sat next to him, provocatively close. Not that he was against it, but Ruthra knew that giving her hope and then screwing her up was ungentlemanly, but not giving her a chance was worse. So he decided to try it out. He knew he wasn't going to give her a chance. He knew he had a choice to make. But which one? Was the goal the same as hers? Probably not. Once, at the time of his youthful maturity, but still narcissistic naivety, with which many remain until the end of their lives, a familiar lady of Balzac's age on his "friendly" relationship with a very seductive young lady said: "All girls want to get married." It seems simple, but men think that women see in them the same thing they see in them a seductive image. Women desire this, of course, but their main goal is not to become another station on the path of the locomotive.
Iulia was a master of seduction, and Rutra understood that. A lady with a child, divorced, careful of her inner and outer worlds, moderate in sports, non-smoker, strict with alcohol, as with men; she would smile, make a joke, have a taste of wine, not get drunk, but let her get drunk.
I feel a little uncomfortable. Not because there might be scenes from the movie "Doubles of the Kama Sutra," but because of your friend's reaction.
Why is that?
Maybe she specifically said yes or asked you to. Maybe she wanted me to see if I would watch it with you.
You're making too big a deal out of this. Trust me, it's much simpler than that. Girls do it, only the more important point for her will be your determination since that's the case, I'll say, just you don't betray me, you need a bit of poofiness, which will be judged in public but perceived as independence and confidence.
Where have you been before? How did I spend my life without your counseling?
Be friends with me and you'll understand a lot of things.
Yes, Comrade Commander.
Come on, turn it on, let's see how macho you are.
Irene, turn it on from here. By the way, before and after what?
There's a life situation, a dialog. I'd say it's no less important.
Well those are dreamsor imaginary. I don't have all the time in the world. Let's take this moment, see what it's all about.
Footage appeared on the screen. Rutra was walking down a busy street, with beautiful storefronts, everything sparkling. It was evening. He entered a building that had a two-level restaurant on the first floor. The ambiance was exquisite. He went up to the second level, headed to a row of tables along a stained glass wall. YatSan, Julia, and Catherine were seated at the table.
Oh, we're here," Iulia almost exclaimed, moving closer to Ruthra as if she hadn't meant to.
Quiet," he said in a whisper, keeping his eyes on the screen. Let's hear it.
On the screen, Ruthra approached them.
Hey, girls.
Ruthra approached Iulia and Catherine from behind and kissed them on the cheeks. They returned the favor. Then he approached YatSan, grabbed her gently under her knees and around the waist, lifted her up and sat her down, holding her in his arms.
Rutra, what are you doing," YatSan whimpered slightly.
The girls smiled.
My sweetheart, don't you like it? Ruthra said, smiling.
She looked at him meaningfully, then at her friends, who were obviously waiting for the rest of the story. Only at first, even good friends, are first defined in a relationship. You, as a little boy, should say everything to your face.
That's right!
You're making jokes again. Do you realize how I, as a lady, feel about this? How other people are gonna take it?
How?
Ruthra, come on. You know everything.
You're going to screw up again now, aren't you?
I will. Because first you have to decide for yourself who a person is to you, and then perform actions that will be understood unambiguously. You're all about the extravaganza. All your friends, all your friends, all your friends, all your friends, all your friends, all your friends. I don't like it.
Here we go. Thought I was gonna have a great night with you guys.
So walk me out. Then why did you grab me?
Well, there are reasons.
Then do me a favor and say them for everyone to hear. You're a grown man, but you're acting like a kid.
I'm a naughty boy at heart.
We don't doubt it," IuLia said, glancing at Catherine.
The banter and smiles gave lightness to the dialog.
So what you're saying is that my behavior doesn't indicate some exceptional relationship. You think I can do that with everyone?
Not exactly. You put us in an uncertain position with your good attitude, which I admit we are all very happy about.
Oh, it's warm already.
Rutra, understand, you are a good friend, a great leader, we respect you, only you decide to what extent we are friends, like a boy and a girl.
Uh-oh.
Oh, my God. I didn't expect that from you.
He understands, Yat, he's kidding," Catherine explained.
Bastard, then," YatSan said, smiling and looking into Rutra's face.
Oh, okay. That's it, divorce and maiden name.
Why, did we have a factory?
Well, I thought you did. I thought you said you dreamed about walking through factories.
Rutra, that's enough. Can you be a little more serious?
I can. What is it, my queen?
Ruthra, let me go.
No way.
Let go now.
It's beyond me.
Rutra, we are about to have a broken relationship beyond friendship supervisor and subordinate.
Oh, that's the kind of role-playing you like to do.
Let go, I don't like it.
Why is that?
If you haven't realized it, the doctor can't help you anymore.
You shouldn't do that. I really, really
So, if something is very you should not be shy about it, you should say it directly and show it in your actions. Let me go.
YatSan forcefully freed herself and sat back down, Ruthra didn't hold her back much though, just grabbed her arm to keep her from getting too far away.
I don't like that kind of behavior.
Me, too. What am I to you? Make up your mind. You take me in your arms, put me on your lap, everyone sees it. What they're gonna think.
Oh, my God.
Not God, Rutra, but you have to think. This isn't anywhere, it's where everyone knows us. We're not at a resort, we're not on your cruise ship.
You've ruined the whole moment of romance.
It may be romantic to you, but to me it's serious.
And I'm the wind.
It's your behavior. You're everybody's friend, you love all the girls.
Not all of them. That's too much.
There you go. At least it wasn't just one.
No, sunshine, just one.
Well, then decide who.
Determined.
И?
Give me your hand.
Why would you do that?
Give it to me.
Ask.
Hands and hearts?
Ruthra laughed.
That's it, I'm gone.
YatSan wanted to get up and walk past Ruthra, because the couch was along the wall, and the only way out was from his side. At that moment, Rutra grabbed YatSan, hugged her, and put her back on his lap.
Let go!
Wait a minute.
