The charm of Mr. De Luca

Scuse

Mia entertains Adriano and Sergei on a spacious balcony located on the second floor. The balcony is indeed devoted as a place to relax and equipped with two luxurious round-shaped tables, as well as several classic-style chairs that also have no less artistic designs.

Various snacks and soft drinks arranged nicely on the table. From the place, they could clearly see the vineyard area, as well as the hills. The plateau is located at the back and seems to be a protective fortress for a large land with a stretch of vine trees that have been ready to be harvested.

The balcony is also bounded with a fence made of iron, and decorated by vines overgrown with small multicolored flowers.

Sergei Redomir seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere at the time. While his mouth does not stop joking and continues to chatter about everything. Mia doesn't talk much. He just responded with a smile. Every now and then, the woman turned to Zucca who was standing not far from her. Meanwhile, Adriano continues to stare at Mia with a meaningful highlight. One that can not be separated from the eyes of a pair of blue eyes of the man, namely the red cherry lips Mia that he once enjoyed although in a disrespectful way.

“Ah, I did not expect if blueberries can be processed into juice that tastes this delicious,”, Sergei said as he lifted his empty glass. A waiter came forward and prepared to pour a glass jar filled with blueberry juice, but he immediately prevented it.

“No, that's enough. I have to go to the bathroom first. Can your waiter show you where the toilet is?” Sergei turned his gaze to Mia.

“Of course,” Mia immediately raised her hand, calling out to one of the male servants standing beside the door. The servant swiftly nodded and delivered Sergei respectfully.

Adriano and Mia are at one table. They sat face to face, and Mia felt an immense tension until her palms felt soaked with sweat. The shadow of Adriano who stole a kiss from him was again present. As hard as he tried to eliminate the memory, still the memory of the events of the night was not lost from his head.

“Can we talk for a minute, Mia?” pinta Adriano half pleaded. Sontak Zucca glares when she hears the man calling his master's wife without ‘Nyonya’.

“I want us to talk together, just for a minute,” Adriano said with great emphasis. He didn't look anxious or scared at all, even though Zucca was looking at him with a murderous look. “Don't worry Zucca, I still love my life. There is no way I can do anything about Madam de Luca,” Adriano also showed a calm and charming smile, while glancing at the confidants of Matteo.

Mia turned back to look at Zucca and shook her head faintly. He turned his attention to Adriano. “Whatever you want to say, then just say it directly in front of Zucca!” firmly then. Mia tries to look brave by fighting her fear of Adriano.

“Are you sure?” Adriano raised one eyebrow as if to challenge Mia.

The beautiful woman complained softly. He cursed himself who always did not have more courage even though he tried to fight. In the end, Mia admitted defeat. “Return a few steps, Zucca. Leave the distance until you can't hear what Mr. D’Angelo told me,” Mia said slowly.

As someone who was extremely loyal, Zucca was only able to obey the orders of her master. After the big tall man took a distance a bit away from Mia, Adriano started talking, “I'm sorry, Mia. I was really drunk back then, even though I still vividly remember every detail I did to you" he said.

“Then, what do you want from me now?” asked Mia coldly.

“A word of apology from you is more than enough for me,” Adriano replied in a clean slur.

“Was just saying sorry, preventing you from repeating the same thing?” mia asked doubtfully.

“I dare swear, Lady de Luca. I

Mia laughed softly. “Are you aware of what you said just now, Mr D’Angelo? You're as crazy as Mr. Redomir. It's obvious I won't ask you anything, let alone ask you to touch me. Matteo is more than enough. I don't care even though I wasn't given the chance to feel another man,”. Mia sincerely wished for Adriano to feel offended and angry at her words. However, the reaction of the beautiful man was far from what he expected.

“We never know where the future will take you and me, Mia,” Adriano replied so calmly. Highlight his eyes which at that time looked shady and calm, looking at Mia without pause as if he wanted to skin the woman and penetrate the deepest recesses of his heart.

Mia looks wrong. He threw away his face while biting the tip of his fingernails. One thing that did not go unnoticed Adriano at that time, made him smile and mutter softly, “Alright, Mia. I assume your attitude is a form of apology to me," the man looked relieved.

Mia turned her face back while glaring sharply at Adriano, as a form of protest. But the man did not respond. Adriano got up from his seat and bowed slightly. “I say goodbye first, Madam,” he said politely. Sergei Redomir had returned from the toilet and was preparing to sit down again. However, Adriano prevents him and pulls Sergei to his feet. “We continue the conversation in my apartment before you leave for Monaco, Mr. Redomir,” Adriano said.

Sergei looked confused, although in the end he obeyed the words of Adriano. “Alright, if Mr. D’Angelo says so, then I will obey him. Anyway, Miss Daniella is not here,” the candle. Sergei then smiled at Mia. "Please say hello to your sister, Lady de Luca. Tell him Monaco is ready to wait for him to explore with me" the Russian said confidently, and made Mia feel even more uncomfortable.

“I'm sorry for my impoliteness, but let Zucca deliver the Gentlemen all the way to the front gate. Somehow, suddenly I feel less well,” the pretext of Mia with a look of restless face.

“No problem, Mistress. We totally understand. Accidents that You have experienced, certainly affect Your health in a long period of time,” said Sergei without burden while peeling the back of Mia's hand.

For a moment Mia was stunned. He smiled as he regained his emotions. “Thank you for your understanding,” reply Mia while nodding slowly. At first glance he glanced at Adriano who was smiling at him. A smile that looks so charming, but not the least makes Mia interested to enjoy it.

“We'll excuse you, Madam de Luca. Say our regards to lord de Luca,” Adriano said slowly then passed away leaving the balcony, accompanied by Zucca and some Casa de Luca servants.

Mia let out a slow breath as the figure of the handsome man was no longer visible to her. He decided to move one seat near the balcony guardrail and sat there. For a while Mia was pensive, until a soft pat on her shoulder made her look back.

“Ricci?” greet Mia friendly. “Why did you come back here?” the spontaneous question just came from Mia.

“I heard Adriano and Sergei came here,” Coco replied as she pulled out a chair, then sat down next to Mia.

“They just came home,” clear Mia slowly.

“I met them at the front gate,” Coco said slowly. He then fell silent for a moment. "May I ask you something, Mia?" tanyakanya. Coco's tone sounded quite serious.

"About what? Francy? I think you already know a lot about him, maybe even more than me" said Mia calmly.

"No. It's about you and D'angelo."
