\u2026\u0219i totu\u0219i, acum era aici. \u00cen sala VIP, \u00een acela\u0219i loc unde Dominic \u0219i Isabela r\u00e2deau de ea ca de o glum\u0103 proast\u0103. C\u00e2nd \u00eei v\u0103zuse intr\u00e2nd, instinctul ei fusese s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i plece privirea, s\u0103 se fac\u0103 mic\u0103, s\u0103 treac\u0103 neobservat\u0103. Dar nu mai era femeia aceea speriat\u0103 de acum un an.<\/p>\n
Totu\u0219i, durerea ad\u00e2nc\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2nea. O sim\u021bea ca pe o \u00een\u021bep\u0103tur\u0103 rece \u00een stomac.<\/p>\n
Dominic se apropie, cu acel z\u00e2mbet triumf\u0103tor care \u00eei fusese c\u00e2ndva familiar.
\u2014 Vai, Victoria\u2026 tot cu haine din talcioc? \u0218i eu credeam c\u0103 te-ai ridicat \u0219i tu un pic dup\u0103 divor\u021b\u2026 spuse el, suficient de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 aud\u0103 toat\u0103 lumea.<\/p>\n
Isabela r\u00e2dea \u0219i filma, ca \u0219i cum ar fi asistat la un concurs de umilire.
Victoria nu r\u0103spunse. \u00ce\u0219i str\u00e2nse haina la piept \u0219i privi pe fereastr\u0103, acolo unde zgomotul avioanelor era mai bl\u00e2nd dec\u00e2t cuvintele lor.<\/p>\n
Un agent al aeroportului trecu prin fa\u021ba lor, iar Dominic \u00eel opri:
\u2014 Dom\u2019le, s\u0103 \u0219ti\u021bi c\u0103 doamna asta nu prea are ce c\u0103uta aici. Poate s-a r\u0103t\u0103cit.<\/p>\n
Victoria sim\u021bi cum \u00eei urc\u0103 s\u00e2ngele \u00een obraji, dar nu spuse nimic.
\u00cen schimb, agentul z\u00e2mbi politicos.
\u2014 Doamna Grigorescu este pe lista pasagerilor VIP de azi. V\u0103 rog s\u0103 nu o deranja\u021bi.<\/p>\n
\u00cen secunda aceea, Isabela \u00eencet\u0103 s\u0103 mai filmeze.
Dominic \u00eenghi\u021bi \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
Dar abia urma partea adev\u0103rat\u0103.<\/p>\n
La zece minute dup\u0103 incident, un zgomot puternic se auzi de pe pist\u0103. Dominic r\u0103mase cu gura deschis\u0103. U\u0219a avionului se deschise, iar pe sc\u0103ri cobor\u00ee \u00eensu\u0219i Marius Caraman<\/strong>, omul despre care presa scria c\u0103 f\u0103cuse avere de sute de milioane de lei din infrastructur\u0103 \u0219i tech. Unul dintre pu\u021binii oameni care \u00een\u021belegeau cu adev\u0103rat valoarea unui algoritm.<\/p>\n Victoria \u00eel recunoscuse doar din poze. \u2014 Doamn\u0103 Grigorescu! strig\u0103 el, z\u00e2mbind larg. Ne bucur\u0103m c\u0103 a\u021bi acceptat invita\u021bia. Abia a\u0219tept\u0103m s\u0103 vorbim despre proiectul dumneavoastr\u0103.<\/p>\n Toat\u0103 sala se \u00eentoarse spre ea. Victoria se ridic\u0103 \u00eencet. \u2014 Domnule Caraman\u2026 nu pot s\u0103 cred c\u0103 a\u021bi venit personal.<\/p>\n \u2014 Pentru un om ca dumneavoastr\u0103? A\u0219 fi venit \u0219i cu elicopterul, dac\u0103 trebuia. Haide\u021bi, avem multe de discutat.<\/p>\n El \u00eei \u00eentinse m\u00e2na. Victoria se opri. \u2014 Mi-am p\u0103strat inteligen\u021ba, Dominic. Tu doar ai p\u0103strat fa\u021bada.<\/p>\n Isabela \u00ee\u0219i ascunse telefonul. Victoria urc\u0103 sc\u0103rile jetului, iar \u00een clipa \u00een care u\u0219a se \u00eenchise \u00een urma ei, sim\u021bi cum tot ce o ap\u0103sase ani \u00eentregi se desprinde de pe umeri.<\/p>\n \u00cen avion, Marius Caraman \u00eei \u00eentinse un dosar sub\u021bire.<\/p>\n \u2014 \u0218tim ce ai creat. \u0218tim \u0219i cum ai fost tratat\u0103. Vrem s\u0103 lucr\u0103m cu tine. Dar nu ca angajat. Ca partener. 40% din noul proiect \u00ee\u021bi apar\u021bine. Investim tot ce e nevoie.<\/p>\n Victoria r\u0103mase f\u0103r\u0103 aer. \u2014 Pentru c\u0103 lumea are milioane de prezentatori ca Dominic. Ochii i se umplur\u0103 de lacrimi.<\/p>\n Pentru prima oar\u0103 dup\u0103 687 de nop\u021bi nedormite, sim\u021bea c\u0103 viitorul nu era o amenin\u021bare.<\/p>\n Era o promisiune.<\/p>\n Jetul porni spre pist\u0103, iar Bucure\u0219tiul r\u0103mase mic sub norii de iarn\u0103.<\/p>\n Victoria \u00eenchise ochii \u0219i z\u00e2mbi.<\/p>\n Nu c\u00e2\u0219tigase doar r\u0103zbunare.<\/p>\n C\u00e2\u0219tigase via\u021ba \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2026\u0219i totu\u0219i, acum era aici. \u00cen sala VIP, \u00een acela\u0219i loc unde Dominic \u0219i Isabela r\u00e2deau de ea ca de o glum\u0103 proast\u0103.

Un jet alb, imens, cu linii aurii, ateriza lin, ca o pas\u0103re uria\u0219\u0103.
Logo-ul de pe coad\u0103 era cunoscut \u00een toat\u0103 Rom\u00e2nia: Grupul Caraman<\/em>. Una dintre cele mai mari companii din Europa de Est.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Nu\u2026 nu poate fi pentru ea\u2026<\/p>\n
Nu se a\u0219teptase \u00een veci s\u0103 vin\u0103 personal.<\/p>\n
Dominic \u0219i Isabela r\u0103m\u0103seser\u0103 statui.<\/p>\n
Inima \u00eei b\u0103tea nebune\u0219te, dar pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, nu era de team\u0103 \u2014 era de emo\u021bie.<\/p>\n
Victoria f\u0103cu c\u00e2\u021biva pa\u0219i, sim\u021bind privirile tuturor arse \u00een spatele ei.
C\u00e2nd trecu pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 Dominic, acesta \u0219opti:
\u2014 Ce\u2026 ce ai f\u0103cut? Cum\u2026?<\/p>\n
\u00cel privi pentru prima dat\u0103 f\u0103r\u0103 fric\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dominic r\u0103mase palid, \u021bin\u00e2ndu-se de bra\u021bul ei ca s\u0103 nu-\u0219i piard\u0103 echilibrul.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dar\u2026 de ce eu?<\/p>\n
Dar oameni ca tine, care creeaz\u0103? Sunt unul la un milion.<\/p>\n
