THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 27's. Goodbye Gilbert
"I'm going okay." He kissed me on my forehead, as I drove him away. I was quite surprised he kissed my forehead, it was sweet and unexpected.
"You're gonna make me miss you, General. I'll be hurt you leave."
"We'll meet again wonder woman." I smile.
"really."
"But if you have a new lover you're free to reject me, just say so. I won't bother you." I don't know why thinking we'd meet I'd be happy. Just a simple appointment. Maybe friends who visit each other.
"I can call you no."
"Of course I can."
"alright. Then I'll see you later."
I waved at him. He did not promise anything, but eventually our meeting became a meaningful meeting.

"Look at your face. You didn't come back last night, didn't even call and this morning ..." Monica insinuated me all out right now, I can only grimace widely at her. "Ehm ..you guys? Tell me a story." He's waiting for my story.
"That was just Monic's last night's story, baby, you know we're spaced apart. He works in Washington we're mostly in Montreal. How can we have more relationships, well maybe just friends, but not developed into anything. We both know that. I just like it..."
"Hmm ... is that as sad as Brother?" Monica is sad.
"I told you the truth." And I've been thinking about it now. Missing is heavy. Starting to like someone and knowing you have to suppress your expectations in such a way is sad. "Pathetic isn't. But let's just laugh at it." Now Monica patted my shoulder in sympathy.
"Maybe it's not as sad as big brother, maybe somehow you guys have a chance later."
"I don't know how to say it. But I don't think I'd expect anything even if I liked it."
"Oh yeah, maybe there's an unexpected chance that happens later, I hope we can just go home this afternoon, I'm not at home here."
Doctor James came to us. Monica's eyes sparkled at the handsome doctor, there he was here was an amusement.
"Your test results are clean. You can go home."
"Finally, I'm going back to Montreal Doc."
"Dok, are you involved in knowing the case of the research lab that kidnapped Monica?"
"I heard it, she said the CDC center sent people to see the data, but I wasn't directly involved, now the lab's closed and the military's guarding the place."
"Do you know the owner?"
"No, I heard that the financier is a Russian oligarch, Russia is not greatly affected. They are like Canada, but other parts of Europe are also affected mostly by Asia. They are looking for a way to get a second drug to get large amounts of cash. They're trying, and now they're going to have a hard time because they're perceived as a threat."
"Oligarchy Russia, do you know his name?"
"Vladimir Mashkov."
Where I've heard that name. They have a business in Canada. I forgot it now. Mashkov, may I have met a Mashkov in Canada?
"Mashkov, like Alexsey Mashkov?" Monica mentioned someone she knew.
"Ehhhh right too. I've been thinking where I've heard that name."
"You know Monica? I remember Dad met him a few years ago and I was in that meeting."
"Well, he's pretty famous, at least among my friends. He's handsome, rich, mysterious, nobody knows much about him. If he comes to an event there is always a bodyguard by his side, and there is always a woman next to him, a beautiful Russian blonde, said my friends were also his bodyguards and personal assistants. Such a person automatically attracts attention.
"Hmm, so important."
"Maybe he's important."
"I don't know, Doctor James we'll just go home, I'll finish his administration. Thanks Doc."
We're back in Montreal. This Mashkov, obviously he's going to blame his CEO, even if maybe that's his idea.
