"Well, Karolina... I should make a confession. To be exact, two confessions! One is good, and
one is, let´s say, a little bit worse. What do you want to hear first?"
"Try the good one!" Karolina asked him decisively.
"So, I had always a crush on you... I think that you are really cute, plus highly qualified and
efficient manager and leader, of course!"
"Uh... are you sure that this belongs here?"
"I just wanted to prepare you for the bad part, to melt you a little..."
"I am happily married anyway, as my CV states! So, let´s move on!"
"OK... look, I forget that paper in my office. You know, a busy day, it happens all the time..."
"You can´t be serious, Rudolf! You forgot the most important piece of paper in human history,
that we ordered to press in Paris, with special, gold ornamented decoration with a graphite
texture? It cost our Corporation more, than your one year´s salary! And the whole world is
waiting for it, three presidents, famous journalists... unbelievable!"
"It happened already. I am sorry! You can punish me. I deserve it, Karolina!"
"I agree with that! I should definitely punish you. So, here is your punishment. Your work
contract is terminated with extreme prejudice!"
The crowd booed.
"OK team... so do you say, that I should forgive Rudolf this time? Moreover, he confessed
with deep emotions to me, and that is always valuable... But what to do now? Without that
paper, we are lost, and we can dissolve this meeting and go home empty-handed!"
"If I may suggest," Rudolf tried to save the situation, "we could send a messenger to collect
it, and deliver here. Good idea, isn´t it?"
"Sorry? The most precious piece of paper in the world, and a messenger boy on a bike should
transport it? No way!"
The crowd booed yet stronger!
"Fine! The people insist, as we can hear! So arrange it, Rudolf, immediately! But no mistakes
this time, please! And in the meantime, let´s hear some great music! The famous singer Magda Novakova is coming! Please, welcome this well-known, everlasting star!"
"Hello, madame manager," the singer, middle-aged woman, was very polite.
