The Agent's Bad Boy

3. The day she went on a date

On the previous night she was left to handle her own business making her extremely cranky, then the morning after her boss told her that she was assigned to another case. Stating that it was more important than the Sokolov cartel.

"Look, let someone else tidy that loose ends for you. I got people upstairs asking a favor for one of our best detectives to help them with their embezzlement case. They'd like the guy to be apprehended before he decided to flee the country."

"Embezzlement? you want me to do an embezzlement case rather than catching the guy who would ruin our future generations?"

"Agent Federova, are you being picky with your assignments? or did you forget that as an officer of the law you take orders from your superior?"

Her superior looked pissed that she was questioning his decision.

"I'm sorry sir, I'll be waiting for the details."

She knows it was Yegor who had just made her assigned to another department, he was making sure that she didn't meddle in his affairs. She knows he had a connection deep within the bureau. He would do this every time she costs his operation a great deal of money.

And because of that, she decided to piss him off by going on a date that night. She knows he has a thing for her and that he was keeping an eye on her. Yet she couldn't care less and keeps on being the upstanding officer and kept on gunning for his downfall.

So, that afternoon she decided to call Simeon Alistratov, one of the city's most well-known, richest, and eligible lawyers.

He has been trying to take her to dinner for the past couple of months. And she has been rejecting him telling him that she was too busy with work, but that night she was going to kick it up a notch with him.

At least that was what she thought.

"You look beautiful Karla," he kissed her hand as he greeted her at the bar entrance where they would wait while drinking before heading out to their table.

They flirted throughout dinner and she was liking him. He looked very polished with his tailored designer suits, clean-shaven, short hair, even his fingernails looked manicured. He was strikingly different from Yegor who looked rugged, mysterious, with a couple of tats peeking from under his sleeves and on the chest.

Karla hated herself because she was comparing the well-accomplished lawyer in front of her with the drug kingpin.

Dinner was finally over, and they were waiting for his driver. He had offered to take her back. She was thinking of taking him up to her place and show him a good time. But when his car arrived, Yegor suddenly appeared.

She tried to appear calm, but she cursed on the inside. And was not surprised when Yegor greeted her date. Obviously, he would've known the lawyer. She studied the drug dealer and knows he has a very good relationship with the country's top lawyers.

And Alistratov included. Damn...

"Thank you for keeping her company Alistratov, but I will take her home."

Her date looked at the man then to Karla, while she squinted her eyes to Yegor hoping that her stare alone could put him behind bars. She knew she couldn't arrest him at that very moment, not with a top lawyer at his disposal. He too will sell his soul if not he would be too afraid to go up against the country's most notorious drug lord.  

"Of course, I had a very nice evening Karla. I will talk to you later." The top attorney was about to kiss her cheek when Yegor pulled her to his side and shook his head at him, silently telling him that she was off-limits.
