Chapter 7. We don't stop halfway
After a hasty Breakfast, Maxim quickly Packed up and rushed to work, hoping that his friend was already there.
As he had expected, Slavka was at his post. But he didn't look very good. His face was rumpled and slightly swollen, indicating that he hadn't had enough time to rest. Maybe the poor guy didn't even get a NAP. His hair also looked as if it had been torn apart with a pitchfork rather than combed.
– Greetings to the secret front workers! – Maxim tried to joke, but Slavka looked at him so that the young man realized that his friend was not in the mood for jokes at all. And he asked in a low voice:
– What happened? Something serious?
– Yes, it can't be more serious, - the programmer muttered, running a hand through his hair. – I almost burned down the office server trying to reach your steal... Did you contact her by email?
– Yes, I got a letter from her this morning. To be honest, I was afraid for you, but then I remembered that you are a hard-boiled dog, you can't just take you.
And Maxim briefly transmitted the contents of the letter received from Pelagia. Slava listened to him carefully, then said thoughtfully:
– Yeah, I guess it's going to take a while... What about a double date?
– Well, there's no problem with that. She agreed to take her friend with her and offered to meet the cafe "Romantic date" on Tverskaya, on Sunday, at 18-19 hours. If you're happy with it, I'll say Yes to her tonight.
Slava scratched his head thoughtfully again, and then said:
– I would not hurt to look around at the place. I've never been to this cafe. Can we have lunch there today? It seems to be located near our office...
– And again at my expense? – was download Maxim – you are a sly one...
– And this is to make up for my sleepless night and the hassle of reconfiguring the hardware, – the calculating computer scientist retorted.
Maxim laughed again, patted his friend on the shoulder, and, saying "done", went to his office. He was busy with official business, and the time until lunch flew by.
As soon as the signal to announce the start of the break sounded, Slavka came for Maxim, and they went at a fast pace to the cafe. On the way, Slavka briefly told his friend about what this cafe is, and warned that it is not cheap, so Maxim will have to spend decently. He just sighed in resignation:"what you won't Do for love."
