Am r\u0103mas \u00eencremenit\u0103, str\u00e2ng\u00e2nd pung\u0103 cu pr\u00e2nzul la piept ca pe un scut. \u00cenainte s\u0103 pot r\u0103spunde, o voce feminin\u0103 a r\u0103sunat din interiorul apartamentului:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Cine e, Adrian? Au sosit documentele?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expresia de panic\u0103 de pe fa\u021ba lui a confirmat ce b\u0103nuiam deja. Sim\u021beam cum tot s\u00e2ngele \u00eemi dispare din fa\u021b\u0103, dar am reu\u0219it cumva s\u0103-mi p\u0103strez calmul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u021ai-ai uitat pr\u00e2nzul acas\u0103, \u2014 am spus, \u00eentinz\u00e2ndu-i pung\u0103. \u2014 \u0218tiu c\u00e2t de important e ast\u0103zi pentru tine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A ezitat, apoi a luat-o cu m\u00e2ini tremur\u00e2nde. Auzeam fo\u0219net de haine \u00een spatele lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Elena, nu e ce crezi\u2026 Investitorii\u2026 Aveam nevoie de un loc pentru\u2026 discu\u021bii informale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen acel moment, u\u0219a s-a deschis complet. O femeie blond\u0103, elegant\u0103, \u00eembr\u0103cat\u0103 \u00eentr-o bluz\u0103 scump\u0103 \u0219i fust\u0103, st\u0103tea l\u00e2ng\u0103 el. F\u0103r\u0103 urm\u0103 de jen\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Bun\u0103 ziua, \u2014 a spus ea cu accent u\u0219or german. \u2014 Sunt Kristina, de la departamentul de marketing din Munchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adrian a \u00eenghi\u021bit \u00een sec, privirile alerg\u00e2nd \u00eentre noi dou\u0103. Dou\u0103zeci de ani de c\u0103snicie se pr\u0103bu\u0219eau \u00een t\u0103cere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 E so\u021bia mea, \u2014 a morm\u0103it el. \u2014 A venit s\u0103-mi aduc\u0103 pr\u00e2nzul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am observat rapid detaliile care mi-au sc\u0103pat ini\u021bial: sticla de \u0219ampanie pe m\u0103su\u021ba din hol, dou\u0103 pahare, geanta feminin\u0103 de designer aruncat\u0103 neglijent pe un scaun. Parfumul ei \u2014 acela\u0219i pe care \u00eel sim\u021bisem pe hainele lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 \u00cemi pare bine, \u2014 am r\u0103spuns cu demnitate. \u2014 Sper c\u0103 negocierile decurg bine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am \u00eentors \u0219i am plecat, pa\u0219ii mei r\u0103sun\u00e2nd pe coridorul pustiu. \u00cen lift, am l\u0103sat \u00een sf\u00e2r\u0219it lacrimile s\u0103 curg\u0103. Nu eram furioas\u0103 \u2014 doar incredibil de dezam\u0103git\u0103 \u0219i epuizat\u0103. Ca \u0219i cum ultimele dou\u0103 decenii fusese doar un preludiu pentru acest moment de claritate dureroas\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen seara aceea, c\u00e2nd Adrian a venit acas\u0103, valiza lui era deja \u00eempachetat\u0103, a\u0219ezat\u0103 l\u00e2ng\u0103 u\u0219\u0103. L-am privit \u00een ochi \u0219i am spus simplu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014 Negocierile s-au \u00eencheiat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
