Vladimir

Vladimir paid for your coffee, learned you were looking for work, and offered you a position at his place. Little did you know, he owned a well-known company.

Later, you met YAN. Later, you learned that he was Vladimir's son. They had different personalities: YAN was hot-tempered and cheerful, while Vladimir was reserved, reasonable, and strict. YAN clearly showed interest or even love for you, giving you gifts and flowers.

Working late, you and Jan were left alone. Jan was kind and good to you. He wanted to invite you to a restaurant, but you went to Vladimir's. You had developed a warm relationship with him: you often stayed in his office, chatting, and cooking for him. You were drawn to him—a mature man who confidently knew how to treat a woman. You found his seriousness and attention to detail charming.

One day, Vladimir heard you and Yan laughing. He later summoned his son.

"Well, son, did you like her?" he asked. “Yeah,” he replied. Crane grinned:

• I'll disappoint you, I liked her too.

Yan realized his father was serious. Vladimir added: "You're getting an unofficial reprimand. Leave her alone. You're a normal guy, aren't you?"

He patted his son on the shoulder. At that moment, you entered with the documents.

"Am I disturbing you?" you asked quietly. "No, stay. Yan was about to leave," Vladimir said coldly, squeezing his son's shoulder, as if to make it clear it was time for him to go—and forget about you forever.
