love to her. He thought maybe she felt the same way, but was too scared to admit it.
That was okay for now. He could be patient and woo her, up to a point. He would win her heart over and then when the time was right, he would ask her to become his wife. The future planned out in his mind, he drifted off to sleep, content in the knowledge that Julia and he were meant to be.
Chapter 16
Julia and Dmitry settled into a peaceful routine. She no longer spent her evenings at the family estate unless Dmitry had to go out of town on business.
At work, things were as normal, with both of them doing their jobs to the best of their abilities. The only difference was when Dmitry joined her in the employee patio area for lunch.
The board of directors had noticed the budding romance between the two and were pleased with the progress being made. They anticipated a wedding announcement to be made soon, and then they would turn their focus to Alexey.
Mrs. Fedosov and Mrs. Padrov were pleased with themselves, and firmly believed that Alexey had been the impetus for Dmitry making his move. The thought that his younger brother might gain Julia’s attention had been a huge motivating force behind forcing Dmitry to act.
Dmitry loved the way things were going. Not only did he have a brilliant financial analyst working on his team, but she was also spending her nights in his bed. The best of both worlds.
Julia continued to make projections and tweak reports and ideas to yield better profits. Three months into her exchange program, she finished up the first quarterly report on the new mining operation the companies were undertaking in South Africa.
The numbers looked great, but not as good as either company had hoped. After looking at all of the data, Julia wrote into the report that the lower numbers were due to an overage on the capital expenditure to start up the operation. These numbers would disappear during the next quarter and things would look much better.
This report went out to both companies, and she hit send just before heading off to lunch with Antonia. Mrs. Rusnik appeared to have loosened her disapproval of Antonia and wished her a pleasant lunch meeting.
Dmitry was preparing for a board of directors meeting and had declined to accompany them today. Julia told him not to work too hard and headed off, pleased that she had finished the report before lunch and looking forward to a few hours of downtime before he board meeting.
Dmitry watched her leave the office, a smile upon his face. He headed back into his office to finish up his own reports and was immersed in what he was doing when the phone rang forty-five minutes later.
“Yes?”
“Mr. Fedosov, you have a call from America online two.”
Dmitry frowned at the phone, but picked it up, “Hello?”
“Dmitry, how are things going?” his old college buddy, Alex Swallow, asked. Alex was Julia’s immediate boss back in the states and Dmitry thought it very weird that he was calling at this time of day.
“Fine. What’s up?”
“Did you see the latest report Julia put together yet?”
Dmitry pulled up his inbox and clicked on the file in question, “I’m just opening it now. How does it look?”
“Horrible. That’s why I’m calling. I’m not sure what’s up with her but this report cannot be right. She sent it over to our office for confirmation of the numbers and my tech sent it out before I saw it.”
Dmitry looked at the report, frowning as he saw what she had written. She was suggesting they abandon the entire project since it was doomed to loose both companies billions over time? What the hell? Dmitry cursed and Alex chuckled through the lines.
“Temper, temper.”
“Why would she write something like this? There not a shred of truth to any of it. Are those numbers right? They can’t be. She just told me last week that everything looked like it was going well with this venture.” Dmitry was furious that Julia would take it upon
