North of Rivni, in the hot spring manor where Simon Gold House hides his beauty.
The sky was slightly bright, and Celia Miller felt the rustling sounds around her. She opened her eyes and noticed a figure by the window who was getting dressed, so she stood up slightly, raised her head and looked around with a smile.
Emily Joplin found Celia waking up, buttoned the last button of her shirt, leaned over and kissed her female boss, and said, "Celie, you can sleep a little longer."
Celia grabbed Emily's arm: "Don't leave, sleep with me."
"It's not good to be seen by them," Emily said, but her body tilted under Celia's slight pull and asked, "By the way, what do you want for breakfast?"
"Let me think about it, the boss will definitely say at this time that he wants to eat you."
"hehe."
After another little struggle for a while, Celia finally let Emily go, lay down again, and decided to take a nap.
These two days have been quite tiring.
However, not long after he fell asleep, he was woken up by Emily. He opened his eyes, saw the female assistant beside him, and asked with a smile: "Are you going to sleep with me again?"
"No," Emily said solemnly, "Tymoshenko is outside the manor."
Celia was stunned for a moment, then realized, she grabbed Emily's wrist and looked at her watch. It was just past seven-thirty, and sighed: "What a very caring woman. What a pity, Amy, just send her away. Just say I’m missing.”
"I've already said so, she won't leave until she sees you."
Celia snuggled into the bed comfortably and said lazily: "Then let her wait. It's so cold outside and she will leave if she can't bear it."
Emily smiled and said: "How can it be cold if she stays in the car? I think if you hadn't seen her, she would have followed us all day today."
"Simon said that I am not allowed to pay attention to this group of people. At worst, we can call a helicopter over later. We will fly to the city after breakfast and see how she can follow."
"All right."
Emily agreed, got up and left, but returned again after a while, and said to Celia on the bed: "Tymoshenko said that she did not come on behalf of Lazarenko, she came on behalf of herself, hoping to be with her You talk.”
Celia's tone was confused: "Huh?"
"Obviously, Tymoshenko plans to break away from Lazarenko and come to join us this time," Emily said: "So, Celie, do you want to continue to reject her?"
Celia paused for a second, then reacted and sat up suddenly.
Although the experience of relying on men to rise to power is not glorious, no one will deny Tymoshenko's ability to spread his business in Ukraine to such a large extent in just a few years. As a woman, Celia has to admit that she somewhat admires him. . Previously, I had only planned to ignore my boss' instructions.
However, Celia's understanding was that her boss's order was based on the premise that Tymoshenko was still on Lazarenko's side.
If the other party wants to join the Westeros system, even though she knows that such a beautiful woman coming to her boss may weaken her power in Ukraine, Celia still dutifully considers the issue from her boss's perspective.
This should be a good thing.
About twenty minutes later, Celia, fully dressed, went downstairs to a study room on the first floor of the villa. Yulia Tymoshenko, who was already waiting here, quickly got up from the sofa.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Ms. Tymoshenko."
"Hello, Ms. Miller."
Celia shook hands with Tymoshenko and looked at her.
The woman in front of her who was about the same age as herself was wearing a fashionable pink Chanel suit, with her flaxen hair hanging loose, making her look a bit weak, without any of the strong female temperament of the rumored 'Ukrainian Gas Princess'.
Celia didn't think deeply about whether the other party's dress today was deliberate. After greeting them, the two sat down, and she went straight to the point: "Ms. Tymoshenko, Amy just said that you are here on behalf of yourself this time. That's it." ?"
Tymoshenko nodded without beating around the bush and said: "If Mr. Westeros is willing to accept it, I hope to join the Rivno Gang and become a part of the Westeros system."
Celia was no longer as surprised as when she heard Emily's message just now, but now she was a little teasing: "So, Ms. Tymoshenko, what should Lazarenko do?"
"Lazarenko and I are just partners, and..." Tymoshenko said here, hesitated a little, and said: "If my judgment is correct, after this incident, Mr. President should soon be dismissed from Lazarenko." Zalenko’s position, this should be what Mr. Westeros wants to see, right?”
Celia was noncommittal: "In this case, Ms. Tymoshenko, with what kind of sincerity do you plan to join the Westeros system?"
"This, I hope to meet Mr. Westeros and negotiate in person."
Celia looked at the woman in her thirties who was still radiant and almost completely in line with her boss's taste. She instantly understood what kind of 'sincerity' the other party was planning to pay. She shrugged slightly: "Ms. Tymoshenko, if we negotiate in person, it's yours." Sincerely', I'll help spread the word, but frankly, the chances of you meeting the boss are low."
Tymoshenko's expression remained unchanged, and her tone was sincere: "Ms. Miller, can you contact Mr. Westeros now? I'm right here. Maybe I can talk to Mr. Westeros on the phone first. ?”
"Not now, Ms. Tymoshenko, maybe you have forgotten about the time difference. It is late at night in the United States, so I will give you an answer this afternoon."
After saying this, Celia had already stood up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.
Tymoshenko did not stand up, but said: "Celia, if you don't mind, I hope to stay here as a guest. I am a woman, so it should be okay to stay here, and I have just sent my The driver left."
Celia did not compromise at all and made a gesture of invitation: "Ms. Tymoshenko, Simon is a person who values privacy very much. This is private territory. Even women cannot stay easily. There is a driver in the manor. I can take you wherever you want to go.”
Tymoshenko continued to fight: "I won't walk around, just stay here, this study?"
"I'm sorry," Celia insisted on seeing off the guest: "Please, Ms. Tymoshenko, I hope we won't have any unpleasantness."
Seeing Celia's insistence, Tymoshenko had to stand up and said: "I have booked an apartment in a hot spring resort in the west, and I will be living there these days. Ms. Miller, I hope to receive your good news as soon as possible." information."
"Of course, I will reply to you as soon as possible."
After seeing off Tymoshenko, Celia carefully calculated the time. It was already late at night on both the east and west coasts of the United States, so she decided to contact North America in the afternoon.
I came to the villa restaurant with Emily and the manor housekeeper Marta, and ordered a breakfast from the waitress. Thinking of one thing, Celia asked Marta: "Until last night, I don't seem to have any breakfast." Saw Natalia Banshikova, where was she?”
Natalya Banshikova, mother of two girls at the estate, Galina Banshikova and Eva Banshikova.
When Celia first found out about these three mothers and daughters, she just thought her boss was ridiculous. However, when I came this time, the two girls were still there, but the mother was nowhere to be seen, and I couldn't help but be curious.
Marta said: "Nata went to London. Madam personally arranged for her to go there to help Shulshkina and Antonenko manage the boss's property in London."
Marta said, still a little envious.
And, pity.
What can that woman who is not even as good as two daughters do in London? She knows nothing except cleaning the room and serving tea and water. It is really a waste. It would be great if she could leave here and go to a big city like London.
Celia understood instantly after hearing Marta's explanation.
It is a ridiculous thing after all. There are too many girls here and people talk too much. If I were in Janet Westeros's position, I would probably arrange it this way. Speaking of which, my boss is so carefree, but there are no troubles caused by women around him. Dumeijiao Manor, who always quietly helps clean up the mess, must have contributed a lot.
Perhaps, in Celia's view, this is probably an important reason why Janet Westeros, the real lady, has such a stable status.
On the other side, Yulia Tymoshenko was driven back to a hotel villa in a nearby resort by the driver of the Hot Spring Manor. She immediately called Lazarenko, mainly to inquire about the progress of the investigation into the Shcherban assassination case. Tymoshenko did not hide the meeting with Celia Miller.
Of course, he would not tell the truth. After some deception, he quickly got the information he wanted.
The task force on the Donetsk side has already arrested the scapegoat they took the initiative to send, and is currently cleaning up the follow-up and quarreling with the Donetsk Gang. After all, the Donetsk Gang is not clean either. If they want to take advantage of this Every opportunity to put pressure on international public opinion is pursued. At worst, the lid will be completely lifted to see who is more stinky.
At the end of the phone call, Lazarenko asked for money again, directly 10 million U.S. dollars, saying it would be used to compensate and place a few scapegoats. Tymoshenko was so angry that he almost threw the phone away.
How can we need 10 million US dollars for such a small thing
However, after all, the two of them are still grasshoppers on the same rope, and they still agree in the end.
After hanging up the phone, Tymoshenko notified her subordinates to transfer money to Lazarenko. After doing these things, she walked to the balcony connected to the bedroom on the second floor and looked at the resort hotel surrounded by transplanted evergreen pines and cypresses. The apartment and the vague entertainment area not far away, carefully thinking about the future.
Ever since the Shcherban assassination suddenly broke out on the international public opinion platform three days ago and attracted direct attention from the top leaders of the United States and Russia, Tymoshenko knew that Lazarenko was finished.
Whether the president is afraid of threatening his own position or is worried that Lazarenko will continue to cause trouble and undermine his governing strategy of seeking balance at home and abroad, Kuchma is unlikely to allow Lazarenko to continue. .
In recent years, Tymoshenko has followed Lazarenko to quickly build her own business empire, which is glorious on the surface, but she knows very well that her foundation is still shallow, just like the largest cash cow in her hands, which currently monopolizes the domestic natural gas supply, the unification of Ukraine. Once the energy company loses Lazarenko's protection, it will immediately be coveted by other political and business powers, and she will not have much power to resist.
Without the steady supply of funds from energy companies, other industries that have just been launched will have no future.
No matter what, she must find her next patron as soon as possible.
The terrifying influence of the Rivno Gang, or to be precise, the Westeros system behind it, demonstrated in this incident, allowed Tymoshenko to directly target Simon Westeros.
As long as she can rely on this man, all the problems she faces will no longer be a problem.
Moreover, the information collected privately showed that she was very much in line with the young man's taste. Tymoshenko believed that as long as she could see him, she would be 100% sure to 'persuade' him to support her. By then, she would even be expected to become a real The Queen of Ukraine, not just the so-called natural gas princess at the moment.
This was the real purpose of her coming to Rivne Oblast.
After reorganizing the plan in his mind, Tymoshenko breathed a sigh of relief in the cold wind, turned and went downstairs, planning to go to the entertainment area to have a glass of wine and relax.
When she came downstairs, her assistant took the initiative to arrange two personal bodyguards for her. After thinking about it, Tymoshenko still didn't refuse. Her usual security team had the equivalent of a platoon, and they were all elite special forces from the former Soviet Union. There is no other way. Various assassinations have occurred in Ukraine in recent years. Similar to the attempted car bomb that Lazarenko encountered a few months ago, she also encountered it.
Yev Sherban, who was beaten to death last weekend, is relatively unlucky.
As for Rivne, Tymoshenko actually knew that the president’s son-in-law Viktor Pinchuk and a deputy governor of Donetsk had come to Rivni, although he did not believe that his opponents would take action in Rivne Oblast. , this is tantamount to a direct provocation to the Westeros system, but it must be guarded against.
After waiting until the evening and still not receiving a reply from Celia Miller, Tymoshenko finally realized something was wrong.
After failing to get Celia Miller's contact information at the hot spring manor where Simon Westeros' golden house hides her beauty, Tymoshenko did not rush to block the door again, but first contacted Sergey Ko Morov, the news he received made Tymoshenko feel cold from head to toe.
Celia Miller actually flew back to North America this afternoon.
Bichi!
I cursed in my heart, but couldn't help but feel helpless.
Now how to do
Timoshen thought that Komorov was deceiving him, and was about to run to the hot spring manor again. The person in charge of the resort, Andrei Smirnov, came over personally and sent Celia Miller to him. A letter left for her before leaving. He opened it directly in front of Smirnov. There was only one sentence in Russian scrawled on the thin page.
-The boss said that you are too insincere, so just forget about it in person.
This time it was quite heartbreaking.
Andrei Smirnov looked at the Ukrainian businesswoman whose expression was constantly changing in front of him, waited for a moment, and asked: "Ms. Tymoshenko, if there are no other questions, should I leave first?"
Tymoshenko quickly calmed down and asked Andrei: "When was this letter delivered?"
"Around three o'clock in the afternoon, but Ms. Miller asked me to hand it over to you at six o'clock in the evening."
Tymoshenko nodded.
I couldn't help but think of Celia Miller's reminder during the morning meeting. It seemed that I had really made a mistake. If I had known about it earlier, I should have prepared a sincere plan in advance instead of meeting Westeros for nothing. No matter what, as long as I can rely on that man in the future, I will definitely get more back.
Thinking this way, I felt angry again.
If that woman reminded her a few more words in the morning, maybe she would wake up. Why didn't she remind herself a few more words
What should we do now
Fly directly to North America
Not to mention whether she could see Westeros, under the current turbulent situation, she did not dare to leave Ukraine without getting a positive reply from Westeros. Who knows what this place will look like if you go out and come back.
As for the Rivno Gang.
Whether it is Sergey Komorov, Klim Derevyanko or Vladimir Korkosko, these people are very powerful together, but they are not talkative by themselves. In fact, it is easy to see that Simon Westeros has no intention of cultivating a leader here, and even Celia Miller is just an agent.
The real power ultimately lies in the hands of the aloof young man.
Therefore, contacting the top leaders of the Rovne Gang will have no results at all.
Calculating it carefully, this morning's meeting may be her best opportunity to establish a connection with Westeros.
Unfortunately, I missed it.
It's all the blame on that hateful Bichi. Maybe the other party just did it on purpose and didn't want her to come to Simon Westeros.
Although he was filled with hatred, he gradually calmed down. Tymoshenko had to face reality and hurriedly left Rivni and returned to Kiev.
Since she couldn't find Simon Westeros, Lazarenko, an ally, whether she wanted it or not, she had to do her best to maintain it, and at the same time, she had to consider finding other allies.
