The charm of Mr. De Luca

The charm of Mr. De Luca
The Il Brillante Vale




Matteo was silent when he saw the attitude of Mia, who was disappointed at his decision. While Daniella smiled with satisfaction. He felt like he won this time. Daniella is actually envious of all the flattery commonly addressed to Mia, whether it be from her parents or from their close neighbors.


Mia was rated as an excellent and diligent girl. It is often a comparison for him who is a slacker.


“Leave it! The girl is always exaggerating in response to everything in her life,” scorn Daniella. “Tell you one thing, my step-sister is a very weak girl. I don't think a guy like you needs a girl like that. Girls like me are much more suited to you,”, Daniella said with confidence.


Matteo didn't respond to all of Daniella's babbling. He grabbed his shirt and put it on immediately. Matteo did not want Daniella to continue enjoying her athletic body with a delinquent look full of temptation. After all, Matteo was a normal man. He should be able to control himself as best as possible.


The box that Mia brought for her. Matteo again sat on the floor bending his right leg and straightening his left leg. He then placed his hand on the knee which he bent.


Matteo's feelings are a little bad for Mia, but she has to do just that. A moment later, Matteo turned his gaze back to Daniella. The girl still stood up haughtily. “What do you want, Miss? You want to hurt your own sister?” matteo said with a sharp look at Daniella.


Daniella smiled cynically. Still with his haughty attitude, the girl replied, “Do you think that? Do I look so mean?”


“Yes,” replied Matteo coldly, but managed to make Daniella chuckle. The girl seemed to feel so satisfied.


“When else I can make Mia beg me. I'm so happy because of that. Of course, other than because I was able to meet you,” Daniella said. He returned his temptations to Matteo.


“My name is Daniella Ranallo. What's your name, Handsome?” Daniella smiled sweetly at Matteo. A smile that only replied to an indifferent attitude from Matteo.


A moment later, Matteo then stared intently at Daniella. He was actually uncomfortable with the girl's presence, but again Matteo had to put aside his discomfort. “Call me Theo,” replied Matteo flatly and coldly. He then turned his face away from Daniella. His mind was now fixed on Mia. After all, he was very worried about the girl.


While Mia continued her steps towards the campus. His mind was not careless, his feelings were so chaotic.


Would he be disappointed by Matteo's decision? Of course not. It was Matteo's right to do whatever he wanted. Especially because Matteo had said that he was only a friend to the tattooed man. However, even though he had heard a definite statement from a Matteo, in fact Mia still could not stop to think about it.


“Mia!” someone's call makes the girl stop her daydream about Matteo.


A brown-haired young man who looked neat and handsome, half ran up to him.


“Good morning,” greet the young man while smiling sweetly.


“Vale. Good morning,” reply Mia with a smile that is no less sweet.


“I hope you are ready with the presentation this time,” said the young man again while accompanying the steps of Mia from the side.


Momentarily Mia was stunned. Lately his mind has always been on Matteo, to the point that he has forgotten what really matters in his life. One of them is completing college assignments.


How influential was the figure of Matteo to Mia?


“Valentino, I ..” the girl's eyes are rounded.


“Hey, you call me Valentino?" sela Valentino's. "It must be a sign of danger. Don't tell me if you haven't prepared the material at all, Mia!” Valentino looked worried.


“Hmm, okay. Let's see what I can do for you. There's still an hour left. Come on, follow me!” the young man immediately pulled Mia's arm and took her to the library.


It's always like that. When Mia has difficulties, Valentino Diori is always present to accompany her. It's not that Mia doesn't know the feelings of Valentino who is always crazy about her. However, Mia always considered him just a friend.


Mia first met the polite young man when she was in high school or Scuola Media. They continued to be in the same school until Mia continued her education at the University. Either by chance, or Valentino deliberately followed him.


Actually, Mia was really lazy to go to college today. He could not even concentrate on the courses he had to deal with. However, Valentino has taken the trouble to compile presentation materials for him. Of course Mia will not disappoint Valentino.


After the lecture activities are finished until noon, then Mia can breathe a sigh of relief. It felt like he wanted to go home immediately and lock himself in the room, but that was impossible. Mia has to go to the store and help her dad there.


With slow steps, Mia crossed the parking lot located in front of her campus building. As usual, he would come home on foot, although Valentino almost every day forced him to go home together. Like this time.


“Mia, just this once! Come home with me!" pinta Valentino's. "So I saw your face so pale. I know you're tired. Studying and working in a store is obviously very energy draining,” he persuaded again.


“Grazie Vale, but I ..”


“For now, I don't accept rejection! You've been looking weak since morning. I don't want to see you pass out on the sidewalk!” valentino forced Mia to get into his car.


By force, Mia obeyed the wishes of her best friend. He let Valentino deliver him until he arrived in front of Mr.'s shop. Gio.


“Good day, Dad,” greet Mia gently.


Mr. Gio, who was busy with his work at the time, took the time to turn to Mia. The slightly fat man smiled. “Home home, Mia? Tumben you're late to come here,”.


“Many tasks on campus that I have to complete, Father,” pretext Mia. He turned to Valentino who had just come down and locked the door.


“Good day, Mr. Gio. Today I managed to drive Mia home,” Valentino said cheerfully.


Mr. Gio chuckles. “You need extra strength to melt her heart, Vale,” her candle before she gets back to her job.


“Let me help!” bargain Valentino when he sees Mr. Gio has trouble moving the table.


“Thank you,” replied Mr. Gio. Two men of different generations were finally shoulder to shoulder with each other to rearrange the store and prepare various needs.


While Mia was doing her job uninspiredly that day. However, he still forced himself to look ordinary. He also immediately did his job well, without complaining let alone grumbling. However, Daniella's arrival that afternoon, has added to the atmosphere in Mia's heart.


“Good day, Dad!” as usual Daniella appeared with full make up and sexy clothes. He approached Mr. Gio, kiss the middle-aged man's right and left cheeks.


“Hai, Vale! Bello come al solito (handsome as always),” said Daniella as she blinked one eye.


“Buon pomeriggio (good afternoon), Dani,” reply Valentino politely.


Mia rolled her eyes at the behavior of her stepbrother. The girl chose to stay away, approached the warehouse and tidied up the tables in front of her.
