22 - Darkness & Confusion

In the darkness, Mia reached over to check her phone and saw the time said 7:47am.

"Shit! We're late!" She said in a raspy voice pushing Danila awake and he quickly woke up and sat up. "Fuck. I can't make him mad this weekend, come on, get dressed!" Danila watched her sleepily stumble out of bed and quickly walk to the bathroom, taking off her nightly before she even reached the door.

At 8:01am, she pushed him out of the room as he was still buttoning up his shirt,

"What is the big deal here, so we're a few minutes late, so what?" Danila was amused at how seriously she took this as he watched her quickly collect her hair into a high ponytail.

"No, we have to be on time." She said seriously and took large strides toward the elevator. Danila wondered why she was so on edge this morning and why she really wanted to please Vladislav.

He fixed the collar of her shirt in the elevator as she applied lipstick looking at her reflection in the elevator wall.

"Ah! You've finally made it!" Vladislav chuckled happily and looked at his watch when they approached the table.

"I'm sorry. It's hard to wake up when it's pitch black all the time." Mia made up an excuse with a small smile, taking took a seat in front of Vladislav and Danila sat in between them.

"It's ok." Vladislav said, "Young, almost newlyweds can always be excused for being a little late." And he winked at Danila who returned a fake smile. He poured them all coffee as they waited for their breakfasts and spoke,

"Today at the opening, I want you both to be there obviously. The future of the company. Press and whatnot will be there too so make sure you wear coordinated outfits. We will also present a commemorative plaque together and Mia, you will be the one presenting it. Danila, you will sit in the audience." He talked and they both listened. "Danila, take this opportunity to promote your brand and stores and Mia, you and I will meet with the directors and some staff. Dinner is back here at 7pm. Tomorrow, we are having lunch with the Zhao group and then I want you to take them out to a club later in the evening." He looked at Danila who drank his coffee and listened.

"You want us to take who to which club?" Mia clarified.

"There will be about seven of them, take whoever wants to go and party."

"Are you sure we will be able to show them a good time? Here? In Yakutsk?" Danila questioned simply but Vladislav looked back at him annoyed.

"Yes! You will! Because we have to get them to Moscow after this to sign the documents!" He raised his voice but Mia gently placed her hand on his and said,

"Of course, we will go, you don't have to worry about it."

Back in the room, Mia emerged dressed in a knee length dark blue dress with sleeves that ended at her elbows. She wore her hair down and wore simple makeup and high heels and diamonds sparkled in her ears, wrist, and finger. Danila was waiting for her in his blue suit and smiled as he watched her approach him.

"You look stunning, future wife." He said truthfully and she lightly smiled as she looked him over to make sure everything looked good on him. She remarked how he always looked impeccable in his expensive and well fitted clothes.

"Why are we all lovey dovey with Vladislav suddenly?" Danila leaned into her ear while she walked down the hallway to the elevator. "You seemed very different when I proposed."

Mia had no intention of telling him what she wanted from Vladislav.

"Do we have a choice, Danila? No. Every time you're involved, I'm somehow in a situation where I have to do shit I don't want." She pressed the elevator button.
