There's nothing more fun than being with family, right? At least that's what Gennadius thought when he saw Viktor and Xandrova."Ha! Ha! Ha! You guys make Grandpa jealous! Where can Grandpa buy a time machine to go back in time with your Grandma? Ha ha ha!"This old man who liked to laugh leaned his head while continuing to stare at the couple Viktor and Xandrova."Grandpa, do you love Grandma with all your heart?” Xandrova suddenly sat in front of Gennadius with a sweet smile."Oh, come on, Zoya! Don't tease me!"Viktor took Xandrova's hand and asked her to stand up. "Stand up! Let's go back to my office room!"Like it or not, Xandrova followed her husband's orders so that she could gain the title of an obedient wife in Viktor's eyes."Okay." Xandrova stood up with Viktor's help. She turned to Gennadius. "Grandpa, we're leaving. Don't work too hard!" Xandrova smiled again at Gennadius."Go away!"Gennadius let Viktor and Xandrova leave his room."See you at lunch, Grandpa!"Xandrova
Today is the first day of Xandrova's studies at St Petersburg State University. The campus is located on Vasilievsky Island. During the Soviet Union, the largest and oldest university in Russia was called Leningrad State University."Zoya, I'll take you to campus before I go to work."Xandrova stopped eating and turned to Viktor."Aren't you gonna be late for work? Because considering the distance between my campus and your office is not close, Viktor.""Zoya has a driver. So, let the driver take her."Davidoff gave a terse opinion. He didn't stop eating at all while speaking."It's not because you're the son-in-law of this family that you can just come to the office. There is no privilege for the family though."Davidoff was still speaking curtly. Gennadius also glanced at him from the corner of his eye."Can't you shut up, David? You're making my appetite disappear."Xandrova felt guilty for causing such an early morning commotion."Everyone has spent the summer vacation. Today is Z
"Ha! Ha! Ha!"The sound of Gennadius' laughter filled the entire living room where he, Yuri, and Andriy were. Viktor and Xandrova turned to the source of the sound.'Oh, no! They must have seen me flirting with Zoya!'Viktor said to himself. He didn't know and didn't expect everyone to see his silly behavior with Xandrova."Grandpa ...."Xandrova smiled awkwardly when she saw Gennadius laughing at her and Viktor."We'll be leaving soon, Grandpa."Viktor was no less awkward than Xandrova. He took his wife's hand and led her away."I'm so glad to see you guys getting along. Keep it up like that! I believe that one day when trouble comes, you'll be ready to talk about it heart-to-heart."'Yes, that's right. That's why I'm trying to win Zoya's heart and make her comfortable with me, Grandpa.'Viktor realized that he and Gennadius had the same train of thought. Viktor smiled."Hopefully we won't disappoint you, Grandpa."Viktor bowed followed by Xandrova."We're leaving now, Grandpa."Just
Viktor finally arrived at Konstantin's family company. He walked through the corridor to his office. However, something interrupted his vision. Viktor stopped his steps. He looked at the faces of his employees one by one. "Good morning, Mr. Viktor." An employee sitting right in front of Viktor greeted him. However, Viktor didn't pay any attention to him. "Hey, you!" Viktor pointed at a man wearing glasses sitting on a chair in the corner of the room. The man was hiding behind a cubicle. "Me?" Finally, the man stood up and looked at Viktor. "Yes, you. Come here!" Everyone who was there looked at the man. The man with glasses immediately walked hesitantly towards Viktor while adjusting his glasses. "W-what's wrong, Mr. Viktor?" The man made a mistake. He adjusted the collar of the clothes that were still neat. "I'm going to give you an assignment." Andriy frowned at the master's words. "Assignment? What task, Mr. Viktor?" Viktor smiled as he looked at the man's face. Then
"Andriy, take this woman out right now! Don't let her come into my office again. If she needs anything, you serve her!" Viktor exclaimed without looking at either Andriy or Evelina."If you ask me why, I'll answer that I'm sick of her face and disgusted by her behavior! I'm a married man. I'll always keep my good name and my wife's good name!"Andriy let out a long breath, then immediately responded to Viktor's words. "I get it, Mr. Viktor."Andriy closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he turned to look at Evelina."Miss Evelina, my Master always maintains an attitude towards any woman. Besides, my master loves cleanliness. My master doesn't like to come into contact with anything or anyone, other than his wife."Evelina rounded her eyes. Evelina was offended because she felt that she was the only beautiful woman in Konstantin's companyーat least that was the rumor spread throughout Konstantin Co."Hmm, okay. I get it, Mr. Andriy. I did touch Mr. Viktor's tie, but I did it to justify it
'Why would Grandpa suspect Papa David? Even though Papa is his son.'Viktor thought hard. He never thought that he and Gennadius had the same thoughts about Davidoff."Because I always suspected that he had hidden cooperation with Maksim."Gennadius raised his face as he expressed what was in his head just now."Why would Grandpa suspect that? Do you have some evidence?"Gennadius shook his head."Because I once caught the two of them discussing shares in Konstantin's family company.""Stocks?!"Viktor remembered when Zoya once said that she had 10% shares in the Konstantin family."Yes, Viktor. Therefore, you must control this family company and let David go on business trips to other cities!"'I know that for sure. Because Grandpa has given you the task of controlling the Konstantin Co company from the start.' Viktor monologued to himself."Surely you still remember, don't you, why I wanted you involved?"Viktor nodded as he agreed."Of course, Grandpa.""When I first saw the potent
The following days, Xandrova went to college with Fang because Viktor was busy in his office. Xandrova understood that, but not her heart. Viktor felt guilty, but he couldn't leave his work. "Zoya, I feel you. I'll pick you up. What time will you be home?" Now, Viktor is in his room with Andriy. He calls his wife, who has been sulking for the past few days. The significant age gap has always exercised Viktor's patience in dealing with his wife. "No need. I'll go home with Fang, as usual." With a slightly irritated tone, Xandrova answered Viktor's question. "Zoya, I know you're mad at me because I've failed to keep my promises several times. However, this Friday night I'll take you to visit a café where I'll ask your opinion about it." Viktor was always gentle with Xandrova. Yes, he didn't want the image he had built up to crumble over such a trivial matter. "Café?" Xandrova asked in disbelief. "Yes. The new café on Nevsky Prospekt. Would you like to go there wi
"Bozhe!" Bozhe is ... bozhe. Gosh! It's a Russian language, by the way.A noise from the family room woke up a 14-year-old boy who was sleeping. He opened his eyes wide, then sat hugging his knees on the bed. His blue eyes also hinted at fear.Before the boy had time to calm himself, the noise came again with the voice of an elderly, who he believed was his grandfather."Chto proischodit?" It has the meaning, "What's going on?" It's also Russian language. Please don't get confused.The boy lowered his voice. He tried to regulate the rhythm of his heart, which was beating faster and faster.His body shook violently from the moment he heard the first noise."Isn't that Grandpa Vladimir's voice?! My room is so close to the family room that it often makes me suffer from hearing adults arguing!"After exclaiming to himself, the boy got out of bed barefoot. He opened the wardrobe and looked for his coat while glancing at the clock on the wall, which never stopped ticking."It's 02.00 in the
