Dominate me by Julia Romush (most read books txt) 📖

It was now almost impossible for me to digest all this information.

"The fact of the matter is that not with everything yet, but ..."

Suddenly there was a movement at the door, but due to the shock I slowed down a bit, so I did not immediately look in the right direction. I became even more tense when I heard a familiar voice, which just did not fit with my picture.

This person, by definition, simply could not be here, because Dmitry entered the office, the same lawyer with whom I recently sat in a hotel restaurant.

" ... but I will help them with this matter", he summed up and smiled."As simple as it goes, your companion, Mia, has an amazing gift of persuasion."

The man had just answered my dumb question.

I don't know how much time I spent in the office with lawyers. I didn't even think about it. Dmitry was very patient and gave me time to calm down and come to my senses, and then I told the whole story from the beginning.

Everything was as it was, and every word of mine was recorded. I saw how meticulously Klimov's corporate lawyers summarized what they heard, while Dmitry  listened carefully to my story and from time to time asked questions.

"Tell me, please, what are my chances? And do I have them at all?"

I have no more tears. I had no idea they could just end. I looked intently at the lawyer and waited for his answer with a sinking heart.

"All I can say at the moment is that in the coming days you will be able to see your sister", the lawyer got up from his chair and looked at his watch. Most likely, he was already late to all the clients he was going to meet today. "And by "see" I mean a meeting, not watching a girl from the window."

The heart did a somersault back from the experience. I no longer understood - I heard it all in reality, or it seemed to me. The day was too long. Too much has happened.

"Thank you", I said in a trembling voice.

"Mia, I will study everything and call you. I have your number". Having told it, the man went towards an exit, and I, having left a trance, remembered that we didn't even discuss payment.

"Dmitry", having called him, I went to the man, "I wanted to ask concerning payment of services ..."

"This issue has already been resolved."

The man smiled and opened the door of the office, came out of it, leaving me in complete surprise.

"Good evening", I heard behind my back, and turned to see that both of Artem's lawyers were also on their way out.

"Excuse me, but Artem ...  is still in the office?". Looking at one of them, I asked that interested me the most.

"Most likely, he is still here in his office."

"Could you tell me where he is?". I was embarrassed to ask about this, because the lawyers were clearly confused.

Five minutes later, I was standing at the door to Artem's office and could not calm the trembling in my knees.

The secretary to my right did not improve the situation. She didn't like me. It was clear from the way she looked at me.

But I was not worried about her opinion. Taking a deep breath, I grabbed the doorknob with my fingers. I needed to see him. I had to thank him for everything he did for me and apologize. I did a lot of nonsense, and I wanted Artem to know that I was aware of it.

Pressing the handle, I opened the door. This office was no different from the one I was in before. More precisely, of the two that I have already visited.

It was dark in the office, and only a table lamp illuminated it slightly. It all threw me back in time. Everything is the same as when I first came to him. When we signed the contract.

Artem was not at the table. And from this I was a little confused.

"Already finished?". I shuddered at the sound of his voice.

Turning my head, I saw that the man was sitting on the couch to my right. At the same moment, all my determination evaporated. I stuck my fingers in the doorknob and seemed to grow into the floor. Will I never be able to react to it differently? Will my heart always beat like crazy at the sound of his voice? Blood will always boil in me from his closeness?
