Andrei a lovit masa at\u00e2t de tare \u00eenc\u00e2t ce\u0219tile au s\u0103rit.<\/p>\n
\u201eAi \u00eennebunit?\u201d a izbucnit el.<\/p>\n
Vocea lui nu mai avea nimic cald. Disp\u0103ruser\u0103 z\u00e2mbetele, grijile false, gesturile tandre. \u00cen fa\u021ba mea st\u0103tea un om disperat.<\/p>\n
Victoria s-a ridicat imediat.<\/p>\n
\u201eClara, g\u00e2nde\u0219te-te bine. Acum e\u0219ti so\u021bia lui. Tot ce ai trebuie s\u0103 fie \u0219i al lui.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am \u00eempins actele \u00eenapoi spre ei.<\/p>\n
\u201eGre\u0219i\u021bi. Tot ce am este al meu. \u0218i al bunicii mele.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mircea \u0219i-a aprins calm o \u021bigar\u0103 electronic\u0103, de parc\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 de\u021binea controlul.<\/p>\n
\u201eFata mea, nu \u00een\u021belegi cum func\u021bioneaz\u0103 lumea. Firma aia are nevoie de oameni puternici.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am r\u00e2s scurt.<\/p>\n
Pentru prima dat\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 prefac.<\/p>\n
\u201eAve\u021bi dreptate. Tocmai de asta nu o ve\u021bi atinge niciodat\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andrei s-a apropiat de mine.<\/p>\n
\u201eAscult\u0103-m\u0103 bine. Am datorii mari. Foarte mari. Dac\u0103 nu rezolv problema asta, pierd tot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Acolo am \u00een\u021beles tot.<\/p>\n
Nu m\u0103 alesese pentru cine eram.<\/p>\n
M\u0103 alesese pentru ce credea c\u0103 poate lua de la mine.<\/p>\n
Am sim\u021bit un nod \u00een stomac, dar nu de fric\u0103. De dezgust.<\/p>\n
Notarul \u0219i-a str\u00e2ns \u00eencet actele.<\/p>\n
Omul p\u0103rea c\u0103 ar prefera s\u0103 fie oriunde altundeva.<\/p>\n
\u201ePoate ar trebui s\u0103 discut\u0103m alt\u0103dat\u0103\u2026\u201d a murmurat el.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu\u201d, am spus calm. \u201eAcum termin\u0103m.\u201d<\/p>\n
M-am ridicat \u0219i eu.<\/p>\n
Andrei era mai \u00eenalt dec\u00e2t mine, dar pentru prima dat\u0103 nu m-a intimidat deloc.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218tii ce e cel mai trist?\u201d l-am \u00eentrebat. \u201eC\u0103 dac\u0103 \u00eemi spuneai adev\u0103rul, poate te ajutam.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fa\u021ba lui s-a schimbat imediat.<\/p>\n
\u201eM-ai fi ajutat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eDa. Dar voi n-a\u021bi vrut un partener. A\u021bi vrut o victim\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Victoria a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pl\u00e2ng\u0103 fals.<\/p>\n
\u201eDup\u0103 tot ce am f\u0103cut pentru tine\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eM-a\u021bi jignit la fiecare mas\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mircea a r\u00e2s batjocoritor.<\/p>\n
\u201e\u0218i ce o s\u0103 faci acum? Pleci?\u201d<\/p>\n
M-am uitat direct la el.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu. Pleca\u021bi voi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pentru o secund\u0103 au r\u0103mas to\u021bi nemi\u0219ca\u021bi.<\/p>\n
Apoi Andrei a r\u00e2s nervos.<\/p>\n
\u201eCasa asta e pe numele meu.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atunci am deschis sertarul bufetului \u0219i am scos un dosar albastru.<\/p>\n
L-am pus pe mas\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u201eNu. Casa aceasta este pe numele companiei mele.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lini\u0219te.<\/p>\n
Victoria s-a albit la fa\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n
Mircea a luat actele cu m\u00e2inile tremur\u00e2nde.<\/p>\n
Am continuat calm:<\/p>\n
\u201eIar compania este protejat\u0103 prin funda\u021bia l\u0103sat\u0103 de bunica mea. Nimeni care intr\u0103 prin c\u0103s\u0103torie nu poate revendica nimic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andrei se uita la mine ca \u0219i cum nu m\u0103 mai v\u0103zuse niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u0218i avea dreptate.<\/p>\n
Femeia pe care o crezuser\u0103 slab\u0103 nu existase niciodat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Doar \u00eei l\u0103sasem s\u0103 cread\u0103 asta.<\/p>\n
Telefonul meu a vibrat.<\/p>\n
Era avocatul companiei.<\/p>\n
I-am r\u0103spuns pe speaker.<\/p>\n
\u201eDoamn\u0103 Voss, am finalizat verific\u0103rile. Datoriile domnului Andrei Ionescu dep\u0103\u0219esc 12 milioane de lei. Mai multe firme \u00eel caut\u0103 pentru fraud\u0103.\u201d<\/p>\n
Victoria aproape s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it pe scaun.<\/p>\n
\u201eAndrei\u2026 spune c\u0103 nu e adev\u0103rat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dar el t\u0103cea.<\/p>\n
Pentru c\u0103 era adev\u0103rat.<\/p>\n
Am \u00eenchis telefonul \u0219i m-am uitat la omul cu care m\u0103 m\u0103ritasem cu nici 24 de ore \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n
\u201eAi \u00eencercat s\u0103 m\u0103 folose\u0219ti ca s\u0103-\u021bi acoperi datoriile.\u201d<\/p>\n
El \u0219i-a trecut m\u00e2na prin p\u0103r.<\/p>\n
\u201eClara\u2026 pot explica\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201eNu mai ai ce.\u201d<\/p>\n
Am mers spre u\u0219\u0103 \u0219i am deschis-o larg.<\/p>\n
\u201eAve\u021bi zece minute s\u0103 pleca\u021bi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mircea a \u00eenceput s\u0103 \u021bipe. Victoria pl\u00e2ngea. Andrei \u00eencerca s\u0103 m\u0103 priveasc\u0103 \u00een ochi, dar nu mai g\u0103sea femeia pe care credea c\u0103 o controleaz\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar eu, pentru prima dat\u0103 dup\u0103 mult timp, m\u0103 sim\u021beam liber\u0103.<\/p>\n
Dup\u0103 ce au plecat, casa a r\u0103mas complet t\u0103cut\u0103.<\/p>\n
M-am a\u0219ezat la masa din buc\u0103t\u0103rie \u0219i am privit cea\u0219ca de cafea rece.<\/p>\n
Apoi am z\u00e2mbit.<\/p>\n
Bunica Elena avusese dreptate.<\/p>\n
Lupii atac\u0103 doar c\u00e2nd cred c\u0103 e\u0219ti slab.<\/p>\n
Dar uneori, oaia pe care \u00eencearc\u0103 s-o sf\u00e2\u0219ie are din\u021bi mai ascu\u021bi\u021bi dec\u00e2t ai lor.<\/p>\n
Dou\u0103 luni mai t\u00e2rziu, Andrei era anchetat pentru fraud\u0103 financiar\u0103. P\u0103rin\u021bii lui \u00ee\u0219i v\u00e2nduser\u0103 vila ca s\u0103 acopere o parte din datorii.<\/p>\n
Iar eu?<\/p>\n
Eu am intrat pentru prima dat\u0103 singur\u0103 \u00een hala principal\u0103 a fabricii bunicii mele.<\/p>\n
Muncitorii m-au aplaudat c\u00e2nd am urcat pe platform\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu pentru c\u0103 eram bogat\u0103.<\/p>\n
Ci pentru c\u0103, \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it, m\u0103 vedeau exact a\u0219a cum eram.<\/p>\n
Nu fata lini\u0219tit\u0103.<\/p>\n
Nu so\u021bia cuiva.<\/p>\n
Ci femeia care \u00eenv\u0103\u021base s\u0103 nu mai lase pe nimeni s\u0103-i fure via\u021ba.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
