Money Matters: The Pool

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

“Illya, I’ve asked Marian in Translations out for drinks tomorrow.  If you ask her friend Kellie, we can double.”

The Russian sighed, “I cannot ask her or any UNCLE employee out, Napoleon.  I discovered there is a $500 office pool to be awarded to whoever guesses who goes out with the ‘Ice Prince’.”

“You know about that?”

“You know about it?  Napoleon,” Illya growled, “What did you do?”  Realization hit suddenly.  “You bet on Kellie!”

Blushing, Napoleon replied, “I figured you would rather win money for me instead of lending it to me.  I’m trying to help you out.”

“Thanks.”
