The charm of Mr. De Luca

Un Invito

After a shocking incident just a moment ago, the three of them finally arrived at the restaurant "La Florecita". At that time, the restaurant was closed.

Coco immediately parked the luxury vehicle with her ease. While Daniella was standing in front of the parking lot, in order to welcome the arrival of the three people.

“Mia! You won't believe what happened!” he cried for a while after his half-sister got out of the vehicle. Daniella immediately pulls Mia's wrist and invites her into the restaurant. Unheard of Coco and Matteo who stood dumbstruck in front of the restaurant building.

In the end, the two beautiful men chose to sit on the terrace and relax for a moment there. Coco then reached into something from her pants pocket and offered Matteo. In his hand was a box of cigarettes of the two friends' favorite brands.

Matteo picked up a stick and tucked it in his lips. So did Coco. They then light a lighter and burn the tip of the cigarette. Matteo sucked it hard and exhaled white smoke slowly. Coco followed what her best friend was doing.

However, Coco immediately stopped her activities when a girl of her late stature was walking towards her. “Francy?” muttered Coco with sparkling eyes.

Meanwhile, inside the restaurant Daniella looked fretful and pacing while occasionally touching her long hair. “Tomorrow there will be a group of people who book this place for a birthday party,” explained Daniella with an anxious look.

“Isn't that good?” mia said as she scrunched her forehead.

“Yes, but the problem is that I also receive reservations from others in the same day and hour, Mia. I'm teledor! I have received reservations from two different people on the same date. I entered the data wrong. How's this?” restless Daniella. She looked so panicked and occasionally grabbed her hair.

“Have you contacted the people who ordered that?” Mia raised one of her eyebrows while cross-cutting. While Daniella shook her head weakly, making Mia snort annoyed. “You should call them right away and offer a date or hour change. Who knows they are willing with the offer,” advice Mia.

“What if they refuse?” Daniella's panicking.

“Dani! You haven't even tried it at all,” scolded Mia.

“So how?” Daniella draws herself closer to Mia with a face.

“You better call each of our customers who booked a place on the same day and hour, and then you offer them the solution. Whether they want to change the clock or the date,” said Mia.

“Alright, I'll try. You wait here!” tell Daniella before running into the office room that used to be Mia's place.

Before long, the door of the restaurant opened. Francesca and Coco entered along with Matteo. Still with a cigarette on his fingers, Matteo chose to sit right next to Mia. Coco sat opposite the couple. Francesca first hugged her sister before finally sitting next to Coco.

“How are you, Mia? How long have we not seen each other? You look more beautiful,” flatter Francesca with a tone and face that looks very cheerful.

“Of course your sister looks more and more beautiful. It was all because Theo always showered him with friendly kisses. Morning, afternoon, night, every moment they always kiss,” Coco chirped at length. Matteo, who did not accept it, immediately kicked his best friend's shin silently.

“Do you envy, Ricci? It doesn't matter if you want to take it out on Francy. My sister doesn't seem to mind. I think he will be very happy,” Goda Mia chuckled. Her dimples appeared and added to her aura of beauty. For a moment, Matteo was fascinated. He will never lose his admiration for Mia. The deception of the wife's lentic fingers and the back of the hand was frowned upon with love.

“You see, Francy? That's how they are every day. The moon and stars were envious when they saw them together, ” Coco complained with a slight quip.

“If you are envious, immediately find someone for you wife,” Francesca's chattering that makes Coco seem choking. He glared at Francesca with a look of wonder.

“No! I am still in college and also want to pursue my career!” cut Francesca off before Coco could finish her sentence, making Coco's countenance instantly change. The awkward atmosphere began to feel, after Francesca said so. Coco chose to bow, though occasionally still stealing glances towards the girl.

Luckily, Daniella came and broke the mood. His face now looked radiant, different from a few minutes ago. “You're right, Mia! It turns out that the solution is easy. I just need to change the schedule and they agree,” said Daniella happily. Not so with Mia. The beautiful woman looked sullen as she snorted in annoyance. “You asked me to come all the way here just because of this trivial matter, Dani? You know, no, my husband hasn't recovered properly?” his nag.

“Already, it's okay, Cara mia. Dani is still not used to taking care of the restaurant. That's a natural thing,” persuade Matteo gently.

“Ah, Matteo. Stop that sweet gesture of yours, or I'll fall in love and be crazy about you like Camilla,”. He grimaced and showed a row of white teeth.

Inevitably, all eyes glared at him, making Daniella inching back and away from them. “A-I'll check the preparations at the back. You guys enjoy the time here,” Daniella turn around and run away immediately.

“Master of a million charms,” sneer Mia while turning her face away from Matteo.

“What's my fault?” The confused Matteo looked at Coco for answers.

“Don't ask me, Amico. Just apologize even though you are not wrong,” said Coco while rewind the chair. “Come, Francy. I'll take you for a walk. You don't have a show, do you, today?” coco's attention now turned to Francesca. He extended his hand to the girl of that stature.

“Nothing. I had no scheduled lectures and photoshoots,” Francesca stood up and welcomed Coco's helping hand, then walked side by side out of the restaurant. They look very harmonious.

From the window, Mia and Matteo observe Coco and Francesca holding hands towards Matteo's dashingly parked car.

The husband and wife continued to observe the two lovebirds. They saw Coco who started the car, then retreated slowly and left the restaurant.

Silence graced for a moment, before Matteo's phone rang out loud. Mia glanced over and saw Adriano's name on the screen.

Matteo answers the phone call and moves it into a loud speaker mode, so Mia can also listen. “Halo,” sound Matteo sounds cold and heavy.

“How are you, Mr de Luca?” greet Adriano from across there.

“It's enough base, Mr. D’Angelo. What is it gonna take?” matteo ketus.

Adriano laughed softly, then replied, “I'm sorry for the carelessness of my men. They are still fairly new, so they do not recognize your face.” he explained.

“No problem. I do not really like to introduce my face to everyone,” said Matteo, still with a flat and cold tone.

“As a sign of apology, I would like to invite you to the opening of my new nightclub I will inaugurate later tonight. How?” bargained for.

Matteo did not answer immediately. He glanced at Mia first and asked for her advice. Without thinking, Mia immediately nodded. The handsome man smiled faintly and accepted Adriano's invitation. “See you later tonight,” close Matteo.
