"Do you live in Italy?", asked Felipe, turning his face to Valeria, who was sitting next to him. While Felipe drives the car at medium speed because it is not in a hurry. Valeria is also returning to Trapani tomorrow morning.
"I live in Florence. My father's hometown. But I did not continue to live there, because I also spent a lot of time in Paris my mother's hometown" Valeria replied.
"How can you cooperate with Luca?", asked Felipe pretending not to know. He only established communication so as not to keep quiet while in the car.
"Me and Alana Luca's wife are best friends. We both went to college at the same place. And in the same field. Alana contacted me a while ago to replace her job. And I accepted it", Valeria replied with a sweet smile. Even dimples add to her beauty.
Felipe looked at her. Very clingy that girl. "Harp...ehem". Felipe cleared his throat.
A moment later Felipe's car stopped at a fancy restaurant that stood in the city center next to the famous mall in Italy.
"Let's go down, inside we can talk more calmly" Felipe said as he gave his car keys to the valet parking. Valeria followed her, getting inside that fancy restaurant.
"Good night, Mr. Felipe", greet the waiter with respect. So did the other waiter who saw Felipe's arrival. Valeria was a little strange, everyone knew the man, even respected him a lot. Seen from a distance a young man seemed to rush towards them.
"Good afternoon sir. I'm sorry I didn't know you were coming" the man said respectfully.
"It's okay, me and...
"Oh baby, you came to the restaurant". The beautiful and glamorous middle-aged woman tightly embraced Felipe's body. It was undeniable that Felipe's face looked annoyed. His intention was to bring Valeria to a quiet place even so, meet her mother Lorenzia who was certainly not alone.
While releasing her embrace, the two blue beads of Lorenzia stared intensely at the beautiful girl beside her son. "What is this girl? Is he your lover? It just so happens that you brought it. Come with mommy, mommy will introduce you to mommy friends. You're so pretty. They'll all be quiet looking at you, but Felipe's not like the news out there", said Lorenzia smiling as she gently rubbed Valeria's face that looked surprised even her round eyes seemed to come out when the woman called her lover Felipe.
Valeria did not have time to answer when her hand was pulled by Lorenzia to follow her.
"Mom..Valeria is not my girlfriend, she is my co-worker" Felipe said, explaining. But in vain, the mother was so enthusiastic that she did not even care about it.
"Shitts. Why don't you tell me that there's a mommy here" said Felipe, upset at the manager and the waiter who greeted him earlier. Both can only be broken.
If this is all the more messed up. Look now Valeria is introduced to one by one her mommy socialite friends. Inevitably Felipe must immediately take the girl away from Lorenzia and her friends who seem enthusiastic about getting acquainted with Valeria. "Mommy screwed up my plan" Felipe's inner jaw tightened.

Felipe managed to take Valeria away and they were currently sitting in the most comfortable room in the restaurant. The special room for Felipe is located on the fifth floor of the restaurant with a quieter atmosphere and far from any interference. The room has its own balcony that can see directly the city of Milan at night which looks more beautiful because of the lighting of street lights.
"Valeria forgive my mom. I'm really sorry, you were introduced as my lover to her friends" Felipe said, staring at the bead of the calm-looking girl sitting in front of him.
Valeria smiles. "It's okay sir. That kind of thing not only did you experience, I was also often treated like that by my mother. My age they think is quite old", while Valeria laughed while widening her beautiful eyes.
"Huhh, you're not old" Felipe replied.
Felipe looked at. "You take it easy I immediately clarified to my mama that we are not lovers, that we are mere co-workers. Of course it would bother you a lot if your lover knew what my parents were doing".
Valeria smiles. "Mr Felipe take it easy, I'm fine. I'm a free girl with no lover, so I won't bother anyone" Valeria replied.
Felipe looked to breathe.
"Yes. Finally the answer I wanted to hear came out of his mouth", Felipe's inner self smiled meaningfully. The man tapped his hands on the table which had been lined with several food menus. The sky outside looks dark.
"Well... Now we discuss the work" Felipe said as he opened his iPad and thrust it in front of Valeria. This is our contract of cooperation. If something gets stuck in your heart you just say it, it will be revised soon".
Valeria picked up Felipe's iPad, but instead of reading the contract, her fingers swiped the cracked glass screen. "Sir, your iPad broke because I hit you earlier? Ii'm sorry. I will replace it" Valeria looked at Felipe with regret.
"Not to think about it. You simply replace it by not calling me master. Just call me by my name..."
