A cashable accountant. A story.


Svetlana Petrovna entered her apartment, located on the second line from the Mediterranean coast.


Her feet sank pleasantly into the Persian carpets.


It's nice to enter own apartment after a hectic trip to the Sphinx and Pyramids. The minibus overturned (during the trip), but the prudent Svetlana Petrovna was wearing a seat belt, and she was almost unharmed.


What it is - a car accident? This is a small things. The bank, which was supposed to transfer $250 million, has been in ruins since yesterday. The local rescue service is working there now. It's a problem, really! Back in February, no one could even think of such a situation!


On the way to Moscow, there is a transfer from flight to flight. Everywhere there are flight cancellations, overbookings, and delays. Svetlana Petrovna decided to stay for a few days, check on how things were going in her apartment on the Mediterranean Sea coast, to swim, to have a sunbathe.


A few years ago, she and a team of staff members were vacationing at a local hotel. It's a good city. Apartments were being sold at affordable prices in that blessed time, and she thought, "Why not?" Since then, a comfortable apartment on the Mediterranean coast, as well as a residence permit were waiting of her.


Svetlana Petrovna put her things away. She should eat. The corporate card of the privileged guest is in the clutch.


Svetlana Petrovna went to a restaurant at a local 5-star hotel. Then she headed to a private beach at the hotel (for holders of privileged cards).


Svetlana Petrovna settled down on a comfortable wooden sunbed before swimming. She took out her cell phone. "The cellular connection is still working. It seems that the Internet is functioning," she thought.


She dialed the number.:


- Alexey, hello. This is Svetlana! We have certificates of completed works for three and a half billion. But no one pays. You know what the situation is.... But we have to pay our employees' salaries: people need money, and everyone has their own circumstances.... What should we do?


- Sveta! Don't worry, I will now give the command to transfer the money. How are your trips to the pyramids? Did the Sphinx bite you?


- Thank you, Alexey, everything is fine, I was strapped in, I didn't even need medical insurance.


- "Well, all right... Sveta, I'm very busy now....


The conversation ended.


Svetlana Petrovna swam a little in the Mediterranean Sea and went ashore. She'll sunbathe for ten minutes, then she'll take a walk along the shore.


In the tomorrow evening, she plans to go to the airport to return to Moscow.


For now, there now no bad events at the island of Leoland. So most likely, she will have to fly there from Moscow - to this wonderful island. There will be executed a great volume of works at cost of 20-30 billion. And any volume of works requires accounting.


The cell phone beeped. Svetlana Petrovna looked at the message. Financial means to pay off the salary has been transferred.
