Catherine, rested and gain strength, returned to work. Inviting the deputy, she asked how things were going in her absence. He replied that everything was fine, no excesses happened. She then delved into studying the documents that had accumulated in her absence. Katya found out that the firm’s profit fell by fifteen percent this month compared to the previous month. This was allowed, and sometimes it seemed that there seemed to be a small percentage, but this strongly alerted Catherine. After lunch, checking e-mail, she received a letter with an offer to sell her company, but did not indicate who was offered the real amount. Someone knew the real value of her company, it scared Catherine, she remembered how she herself had done such operations with firms that calved in their hands. With one shot she killed two birds with one stone, joined the firm to her enterprise and eliminated unnecessary competitors. In the future, these affiliate companies gave a very good income. She asked the secretary to call the security chief.

She told Boris Mikhailovich about her problems in detail and brought him up to speed, asking him for advice on what to do next.

- Ekaterina Alekseevna, I promise, we will understand everything. While I can not tell you anything, wait for the results of our investigation. It is necessary to find out who wants to acquire your company, then it will be much easier to act. Now I know for sure that the events preceding this letter were not accidental, we will deal with this matter.

Catherine was restless in her heart. A week passed, but there were no results. Despite the fact that highly qualified specialists were working in the security service, they could not find the slightest clue in this strange, complicated case.

Everything went on as usual, but ten days later an email came back to Catherine’s address, in which it was necessary to sell the company, only the amount was already thirty percent less than the original price. If in the first letter there was only an offer to sell the company, then in the second there were threats that Catherine’s company could completely go bankrupt and would have to sell it completely for nothing.

Boris Mikhailovich, said Catherine honestly:

- Ekaterina Alekseevna, I can not find any clues, they simply do not exist. I tell you frankly, we do not see the enemy, we cannot detect him, therefore we can not do anything, I raised all my connections, but the result was nothing. It is useless to look for a needle in a haystack. The enemy is very strong and cunning, despite all my connections, they did not manage to reach him, I'm afraid no one can help you, find out who still wants to acquire your company.

- What should I do?

- I will be frank with you to the end, sell the company, while they offer a decent price for it, then it will be too late, they will simply ruin you, believe my experience, and you yourself know this better than me. Someone very well knows the information about all the affairs of your company, and this person is well versed in the mechanism of work. He anticipates all your moves and is ahead of you in everything. This can not be an ordinary employee, think, you did not notice anything suspicious among the behavior of your inner circle.

- Not.

- Sorry, without your permission, I checked all your deputies completely, I even had to follow some of them, but none of them works against you, congratulations for the excellent selection of personnel, so there are some minor sins, but you shouldn’t even talk about them, it's all the little things. I even checked those who quit or you were fired, but I assure you that these people also have nothing to do with you.

- Yes, Boris Mikhailovich, they made a riddle to me ..

- You can try to make such a move, agree to sell and reach the buyer, but this is ten percent out of a hundred. They are certainly not suckers, they have thought through everything and fully calculated. The buyer will, some figurehead, who both know and knows nothing. But, still try this option, if it does not work out, then you have to sell. Ekaterina Alekseevna, you are still young, you will have enough money from the sale of the company until the end of your life, do not worry so much, you have so many pleasant moments in life ahead of you.

- Boris Mikhailovich, I have invested my whole life, my whole soul in this company, and I am not used to being afraid of difficulties. I, according to your, option, there is no other way, if nothing happens, then we'll see what to do.

- I will connect all my connections and try to do everything in my power so that everything will be fine for you.

Boris Mikhailovich left, and Katya wondered greatly who this unknown opponent was. She had no enemies, she did not conflict with anyone and could not understand who needed all this. Most of all, it was strained by the unknown, if a person bought a firm in the open, it would be clear that he wanted to get rid of competitors and join firms, and when there were no buyers, it is not clear what will happen next.

Catherine wrote an answer that she was ready to sell the company to which the letter came from. She could only wait for an answer. The next day, the answer came, it contained detailed instructions on how and on whom to draw up a deal. Boris Mikhailovich tried to punch the person for whom the enterprise must be registered. It turned out, as Boris Mikhailovich thought, that the person on whom the transaction was registered was a dummy, but behind him were very serious people who took security measures, and it was almost impossible to reach them. The instructions given to Catherine were so well written that the child could not be from either side. Catherine understood this perfectly. She called her lawyer, having familiarized herself with the terms of the transaction, he said that it was better than to conduct the transaction, as indicated in the letter is impossible, Catherine received the amount that was stipulated without risking anything. She really did not want to sell her offspring, but she thought it was really better to fuck, at least some money, than to get nothing at all later. Moreover, this money will be enough for her until the end of her life. She decided that she would rest, she was also tired of constantly worrying about thinking about business, sometimes she had the idea to sell a company and live for pleasure, to take a break from a serious entrepreneurship race. She thought that in time it would be possible to open some small company for the soul, and if it was boring, there would be something to do.

These thoughts came to her mind recently, while on holiday, after living a couple of weeks in a peaceful and peaceful life, visiting historical sites and cultural monuments also affected. Not a gift for visiting a psychotherapist. Catherine didn’t have any disease, these visits to the doctor were not therapeutic, most likely they were for prevention. Even before the trip, Catherine began visiting a doctor in Moscow. Good friends advised a famous psychologist, and she visited him twice a week. After the sessions, Katya noticed that she became much calmer and began to think differently.

Catherine wanted to call her former secretary, Lena. She tried to call on the landline, but no one took the call. After work, she decided not to postpone the trip, and went to her former home. She wanted to meet and talk with Lena, learn about her life. All the way home, she remembered her past life. The closer she came to the house, the stronger her heart pounded, how many different events happened here.

She drove up to the gate, since the last time she was here, almost nothing has changed, everything is left just like her, only the gate was painted in a different color.She got out of the car, went to the intercom and pressed a button.

- Who do you want? - There was a female voice in the dynamics.

- I need Lena.

- This does not live here.

This answer is very discouraged ...
