Opt minute.<\/p>\n
At\u00e2t \u00eei mai r\u0103m\u0103sese.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru a se justifica.
Nu pentru a se certa.
Ci pentru a decide dac\u0103 mai merit\u0103 s\u0103-i lase pe oamenii ace\u0219tia s\u0103-\u0219i continue spectacolul.<\/p>\n
Un cuplu de l\u00e2ng\u0103 lift \u0219optea.
Un domn \u00een costum scump \u00ee\u0219i drese glasul, st\u00e2njenit.
Cineva a scos telefonul \u0219i a \u00eenceput s\u0103 filmeze.<\/p>\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a z\u00e2mbit str\u00e2mb.
\n\u201eHaide\u021bi, domni\u0219oar\u0103. Nu ne face\u021bi s\u0103 pierdem timpul.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sofia a ap\u0103sat un buton.<\/p>\n
\u201eBun\u0103 seara. Sunt Sofia Popescu\u201d, a spus calm.
\n\u201e\u00cencepem.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pe ecran a ap\u0103rut chipul unui b\u0103rbat trecut de cincizeci de ani.
\nCostum \u00eenchis, birou sobru, steagul Rom\u00e2niei \u00een spate.<\/p>\n
\u201eBun\u0103 seara, doamna Popescu\u201d, a spus el respectuos.
\n\u201eConsiliul e preg\u0103tit.\u201d<\/p>\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a \u00eenghe\u021bat.<\/p>\n
Maria s-a oprit din tastat.<\/p>\n
Sofia a pus telefonul pe difuzor \u0219i l-a a\u0219ezat pe tejghea.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u00cenainte s\u0103 semn\u0103m\u201d, a continuat b\u0103rbatul, \u201evreau s\u0103 confirm\u0103m detaliile finale. Achizi\u021bia Hotelului Majestic se face integral, cu plata \u00een avans, 200 de milioane de lei. Transferul se finalizeaz\u0103 \u00een seara asta.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00cen hol a c\u0103zut o lini\u0219te grea.<\/p>\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec.<\/p>\n
\u201eCum adic\u0103\u2026 achizi\u021bia?\u201d a b\u00e2iguit el.<\/p>\n
Sofia l-a privit pentru prima dat\u0103 drept \u00een ochi.
\n\u201eAdic\u0103 hotelul nu mai e al cui credeai.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenapoi.
\nFa\u021ba i se albise.<\/p>\n
\u201eDoamna Popescu\u201d, a continuat vocea din telefon, \u201edori\u021bi s\u0103 p\u0103str\u0103m actualul personal?\u201d<\/p>\n
Sofia s-a uitat \u00een jur.
\nLa cardul c\u0103lcat.
\nLa z\u00e2mbetele batjocoritoare.
\nLa cuvintele aruncate f\u0103r\u0103 ru\u0219ine.<\/p>\n
Apoi a inspirat ad\u00e2nc.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu.\u201d<\/p>\n
Un murmur a str\u0103b\u0103tut holul.<\/p>\n
\u201eTo\u021bi angaja\u021bii din tur\u0103 sunt concedia\u021bi, cu efect imediat\u201d, a spus ea.
\n\u201eF\u0103r\u0103 scandal. F\u0103r\u0103 jigniri. Actele vor fi trimise m\u00e2ine.\u201d<\/p>\n
C\u0103t\u0103lin a \u00eencercat s\u0103 protesteze.
\n\u201eNu pute\u021bi face asta! Eu sunt directorul aici!\u201d<\/p>\n
Sofia a z\u00e2mbit pentru prima dat\u0103.
\nUn z\u00e2mbet calm, dar rece.<\/p>\n
\u201eAi fost.\u201d<\/p>\n
A ridicat din nou telefonul.
\n\u201eV\u0103 rog s\u0103 trimite\u021bi echipa de tranzi\u021bie.\u201d<\/p>\n
A \u00eenchis.<\/p>\n
Timp de c\u00e2teva secunde, nimeni nu a mi\u0219cat.<\/p>\n
Apoi un b\u0103rbat \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103 s-a apropiat de Sofia.
\n\u201eDoamn\u0103\u2026 \u00eemi pare r\u0103u pentru ce a\u021bi \u00eendurat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sofia a dat din cap.
\n\u201eSe mai \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Un t\u00e2n\u0103r portar, care nu spusese nimic toat\u0103 seara, a f\u0103cut un pas \u00eenainte.
\n\u201eDac\u0103 pot ajuta cu bagajele\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eMul\u021bumesc\u201d, a spus ea.
\n\u201eTu r\u0103m\u00e2i.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maria a izbucnit \u00een pl\u00e2ns.
\nC\u0103t\u0103lin a ie\u0219it val-v\u00e2rtej, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 se mai uite \u00eenapoi.<\/p>\n
La 23:59<\/strong>, liftul s-a deschis.<\/p>\n Sofia a p\u0103\u0219it \u00een\u0103untru, cu geanta veche pe um\u0103r \u0219i cardul negru \u00een\u0103untru.
