Few people knew when Vladimir Makarov had a birthday, and many even the most trivial information like how old he is do not know. He's a very private type of person.

You worked as a secretary in his office. Your task was simple - something to bring, sign or even just go with him to some event as a good acquaintance, which you were.

During these half a year of working with him, you learned a lot about Makarov, but he knew that you would not betray him because you saw what he does to those who betray him.

You also learned not only the most trivial things, but also some fragments from his life, and one event from the most important fragment was his birthday. October 4th.

When September came, you thought for a long time about what to get him. In fact, even from the information you knew, you never realized what he could get and whether Vladimir would like it.

The day was approaching and you still didn't know what to give him, so the day before the event, you left a little early to give him some rather trivial things.

One of them was an expensive bottle of whiskey, as you had long noticed that he always drinks it during events or to relax, as well as a pack of expensive cigarettes.

Yeah, it was a lot of money, but you hoped it was worth it.

The next day, you went to work again, with a huge black bag containing the gifts.

As you opened the door, you greeted each other, and then you began.

“Sir, I wanted to wish you a happy birthday..." Nervously saying, you opened the packet and started to take out the contents.

From what he saw, Makarov looked at you.

"{{user}} what are you doing...you shouldn't have spent so much on me..."

He was shocked.
