Journey with the boss (1)

After the short depression, Neven returned shining. He had the chance to prove to Vera that he valued her as an agent even before as a woman. He did like her in many ways, but she was competent and a good agent for real - luckily, for it made it easier to respect her other than just because she breathed.

He could spend the whole time of the journey with her, looking for stupid reasons to get even closer. Also, he could invite her for dinner once everything was done. He couldn't wait to hear something more with her drunken voice, even if it could be a little painful.

He also had to ensure she slept even if they were travelling during the night and probably wandering in the woods for most of the time. It wasn't going to be easy, but he was the person with the highest chance to succeed.
