The head of the company decided to test the new cleaning lady – left his wallet on the table…

Michael was sitting at his desk, trying to examine the documents. How can dad remember all this information? He wondered, if Michael had understood everything written in those papers at once, he would not be looking at them now like a student looking at the notes of a course he had skipped. Why hadn’t his father allowed him to be involved in the management of the company before? And why hadn’t he taught him anything about it? He had asked his father about it many times.

But his father was adamant. He kept saying that Michael had to study and gain experience, and only after that he could join the family business. Sometimes it seemed to Michael that his father either didn’t trust him or was jealous of his own business.

It was difficult to understand his father. He had always been introverted and taciturn. And the sudden death of his wife had affected his emotional state severely.

And now he was rarely happy about anything that was happening in his life. Michael treated his father with understanding. He saw how hard it was for him to work and at the same time take care of his son in a house that suddenly became empty.

Michael was just a child then and could not help his father much. But his father had a strong personality and exceptional stamina. He could not give the child enough warmth and affection.

But he provided care, attention, and food, and also achieved a good result in his business. His father was very vigilant about the business, and Michael had always felt that he would never let anyone else run the company, not even his son. But now things have changed.

The guy had to run the company without any experience. Maybe his father believes that the most effective method of learning is to enter the business and start solving problems right away. Maybe there is some reasonable explanation for that.

Michael felt like the stupidest person in the world. It took him a long time to understand the tricky details in the documents, and he constantly felt the skeptical glances of the company employees. Fortunately, at least his father told him who he could ask questions to and who he could trust.

But still, he had to win respect without anyone’s help. How many more mistakes will he make? And will he be able to become a real leader for his employees? For example, Alan always speaks kindly to Michael, but he keeps his lips tight and has a mocking look on his face. The staff says Alan was hoping to become the head of the company.

Michael should be careful with him. He’s a cunning man, thinking of Alan, who is ready to set him up for any mistake. Michael began to study the financial report even more diligently.

Two hours later, the exhausted man was driving home through the night city. It was already dark outside, and he could see the colorful restaurant signs and storefronts. Driving by a nightclub, Michael got a little upset and thought, is Lily there now? If she is there, who is she with? But why do I even care? We’ve both made our own choices.

Oh, be honest. It was clear from the beginning that their relationship would end quickly. Lily was the daughter of the head of an international company, and her parents had never denied her anything.

She didn’t know where the money came from and was used to wasting it without realizing its value. Michael is not a poor guy either, but the income of the family business can’t compare to the level of life Lily is used to. After learning about Michael’s girlfriend, his father immediately realized that they couldn’t be together.

Michael didn’t understand why, but his father only told him, you should choose an ordinary girl who will suit your status. His father realized what awaited his son in this relationship. But it was a good thing that he didn’t tell Michael that Lily was just a silly, spoiled girl.

Instead, he let his son realize it himself. Now, when he was sick of Lily’s constant whims and resentment that he could have bought more expensive perfume, chosen a better restaurant for dinner, and given her more exotic flowers, he realized she was the wrong girl. But she was so beautiful, he couldn’t stop thinking about her long brown hair, attractive body, and green eyes.

Even now, after the fights, after the disappointment, thinking of her, a shiver came over his skin. But he also remembered unpleasant moments. She had mocked his sincere but not rich friends when he invited Lily to his graduation party at the university, and she didn’t want to go with him to the hospital to see his sister after her surgery.
