Choosing a bride. Agency Amur

Отрывок из книги

Once a young man came to the office of our agency (Agency Amur, affairs of love). We with Victoria (my assistant) listened to his story. A man (his name is Gleb) wants to marry. It just feels like it’s time. He wants to have a family, children, a big and well-groomed house. He has no shortage of brides, because Gleb is rich. He has a business that he created himself and that brings good money. This circumstance prevents him from choosing a partner for marriage. It seems to him that girls are hung around his neck (in a figurative sense) because of money. He himself has not yet met the one that he would have fallen in love with without reckoning. But he does not want to wait anymore, he wants marriage now. To date, there are two girls that he likes. Both (they said) are in love with him. Is there any option for us (the agency) to check these girls, do they really love Gleb or pretend? Of course, this option (options) is, then we are professionals. I promised the client to think and send my thoughts tomorrow.

The next day, in an e-mail, I offered Gleb the following. We (more precisely, he) rent a cottage, for example, in the neighboring hospitable Finland. We rent a cottage for six people. This is Gleb, his two “brides”, we are with Vika and let him invite someone else from the men for “balance.” August was in the yard. A wonderful time for picking mushrooms and fishing. And where to do it best? Everyone will say in Finland. Gleb agreed with my proposals.

This is the official part of the evening and ended. We sat, ate, joked. Nature, the smell of the fire acted intoxicating. Someone offered to swim. Gleb and Ivan threw off their shirts and jeans, I also decided to keep up. From the girls we were supported by Ksenia. The water was pleasantly refreshing. I sailed offshore for some distance. Ivan kept close, Gleb and Ksyusha fell behind, it seems that they were sorting something out. Vika and Yana were talking on the beach. Sailing back past Gleb and Ksyusha, I heard their conversation:

“So why did you invite me here?”
