The charm of Mr. De Luca

Intimidations

Time keeps going. Unwittingly, two weeks had passed and Matteo rarely came to the workshop. All the work there, he left it to the assistant, Valerie. That afternoon, the eccentric girl came to Casa de Luca on her new motorcycle, and was a birthday present from Adriano. After removing the helmet, the tattooed girl immediately entered. Valerie had told Matteo that she was coming to Casa de Luca. Therefore, he just went straight to the man's office.

"Good day, Mr. de Luca. How are you?" greet the pierced girl with her distinctive style.

"Good day, Miss Nikolaev. As you can see, I'm fine" Matteo replied, inviting Valerie to sit on a chair not far from his desk. "Attent. I had to reply to the incoming email first," Matteo said again without turning his gaze away from the computer screen.

"Oh, just calm down. I'm not in a hurry," the girl replied as she occasionally played the ends of her braids. Not bored his eyes pay attention to every movement of the man who looks so serious with his computer. Valerie had a bad mind at the time. He will get a tattoo with a picture of Matteo's face on one of his hidden limbs. Yeah, Valerie will. The girl then reached into the cell phone from inside the pocket of the jacket she was wearing. Quietly the girl took a picture of Matteo. Be so careful that Matteo doesn't notice it at all.

A few moments passed. Matteo has finished with all the emails that contain about booking Du Fontaine. He then turned his gaze to Valerie who was looking at him while smiling. "So, how?" ask Matteo. He was at his desk at the time.

"All orders are complete, sir. We just have to make the delivery" Valerie replied with a style of speech that sounded so relaxed.

"good. I will contact Sergei Redomir immediately and settle all matters with him. After all, in this week I will be very busy" Matteo said flatly.

"Why? Is madam de Luca about to give birth? I don't think it's time yet" Valerie said as she moved her eyeballs left and right.

"Of course not," argued Matteo immediately. "Marco is getting married, so I have to help prepare for everything. Ah, I'll leave you an invitation for Mr. D'Angelo" Matteo said.

"Oh, yes of course. My foster brother happens to be in Moscow right now, but I think he will definitely take his time to attend your invitation, sir," Valerie smiled meaningfully at Matteo.

"Yes, and say something to both of us about your foster brother," Coco who suddenly entered immediately chimed in on the chatter of Matteo and Valerie, making the two simultaneously turn her head. "I'm sorry I got in without permission. I don't think you're receiving a guest, Amico," the curly-haired man told Matteo.

"Ah, it's okay, Mr. Ricci," Valerie said. "At the same time I'm not a special guest" Valerie said again accompanied by a soft and relaxed laugh. Not with Coco. The man's face looked so serious. Look at his sharp eyes he lay to the girl with the eccentric appearance.

"I just wanted to ask you something about Adriano D'Angelo" Coco said. He was not joking at the time. Her attitude made Matteo smile knots, while Valerie seemed to correct her sitting position. The girl started to look wrong.

"What's wrong with my foster brother?" ask Valerie curiously. She followed Coco until she sat in a chair not far from her.

"Tell me, what is the connection between Adriano D'Angelo and Vincenzo Moriarty!" pinta Coco's. His tone still sounded ordinary even though he hinted that he was really serious. While Matteo at that time just silence and listen.

"Who? Vincenzo Moriarty?" ask Valerie. The girl knitted her brows and was silent for a moment. He then shook his head immediately. "No. I don't know. I also did not know the name of the man you mentioned earlier" he replied confidently.

However, Coco would not believe it just like that. The man smiled a cynical smile at Valerie. "You're his foster sister. I'm not sure until you don't know about it" Coco replied hesitantly. His eyes were now full of searches for Valerie.

"Oh, I am indeed the adopted brother of Adriano D'Angelo, but that does not mean he will share everything with me. It's up to you to believe it or not, but I stress once again that I don't know the name you mentioned earlier" Valerie explained quite firmly.

"Ah, you and Adriano are the same. You're both good at the show" Coco said again. Her words further provoked a sense of annoyance in Valerie's heart.

"Hey, Dude! Keep talking!" sergeant Valerie's assertive.

"Calm down, Miss Nikolaev," Matteo tries to mediate. "It sounds a little awkward if you don't know it" Matteo's timpan made Valerie look at him in disbelief. The girl smiled a bitter smile.

"You also want to interrogate me, Mr de Luca?" valerie's grin doesn't believe it. "Oh, that's amazing. You two strong men intimidate a girl" he said.

Instead of pity, Valerie's words actually made Coco laugh wide. He finds it funny with the intimidating word Valerie uses. “Tell me what you know, Valerie. No need to convoluted,” urgently.

“If I told you that I really don't know, what do you want?” Valerie ruffled her waist, as if she was challenging the two men standing in front of her.

“Hard-headed you too, apparently,” Coco stood up from her seat then walked slowly closer to Valerie. But the girl was undaunted. He remained in his place.

“Amico, stop,” sergeant Matteo while moving from his seat. He pulled his best friend's arm slowly while whispering, “We find another way.”

“Will I tell you later. For now, I will focus on Marco's wedding,” Matteo replied. At a glance he glanced towards Coco who looked dissatisfied with her attitude. As Matteo ended his sentence, Marco appeared in the doorway.

“Are you guys still busy? I want to talk about something,” said the man.

“Ah, okay. Continue, Gentlemen. I go first,” Valerie said as she raised her hand and took a respectful stance. He put his palm on his forehead, then turned around just like that while whistling.

“Do I need to follow him?” coco whispered just after Valerie's figure disappeared from view.

“No need. We just wait while continuing to increase vigilance,” breaks up Matteo in the end to Coco. After that, he turned to Marco. "Come in, Marc," he said.

Meanwhile, Valeria walked leisurely towards the place where she parked her new bike. However, his steps had to come to a halt as he looked at the pensive figure of Mia herself on the edge of the pool. “Monya de Luca,” is friendly.

Mia immediately turned her head and smiled widely when she saw Valerie approaching her. “Val? When did you come?” tanyakanya.

“Newly. What are you doing here?” without awkward, Valerie took off her shoes, then folded her pants up to her knees. He then sat down next to Mia and followed what Mia was doing, which was dipping her feet into the pool.

“Now, my feelings are uncertain. Today, Theo forced me to shower and comb my hair. He said with a shower, then my feelings will be better. However, the reality remains,” complained Mia.

“Are you holding something Mistress?” ask Valerie carefully.

Mia was stunned for a moment by Valerie's question, and then smiled gently. “Nothing. I think maybe all this is just the influence of hormonal changes because of my pregnancy alone,” he replied softly.

“Did my sister ever bother you, Madam?” ask Valerie again.

For this time, Mia was unable to hide her shock. “Why are you asking like that?” tanyanya.

Valerie shrugged her shoulders while laughing. “It's okay, I just guess what. Adriano seems to be crazy about you. I'm afraid he did you a fool,” he replied innocently.

“Uhm, two weeks ago he came to see me. Mr. D'Angelo also brought many gifts as congratulations on my pregnancy,” said Mia while looking down at the shadow of her own face on the surface of the pool water.

“Actually, I feel sorry for Adriano,” Valerie said.

“What do you mean?” sahut Mia's.

“You know, right? I've been with him since I was a kid. Adriano has always been a cheerful figure since childhood. He was so friendly and smiling. But lately I know. Her smile was just to hide the pain,” Valerie said.

“I don't want to hear it!” cut Mia. Instantly his frustration culminated when he recalled the attitude of Adriano who had kissed him forcibly.

“Why don't you seem to like my sister?” search Valerie.

“I-it, normal!” sahut Mia. He immediately turned his face away from Valerie.

“Hmm, surely you feel disturbed, yes?” Valerie chuckled softly. “Maclumi only, Mistress. He never fell in love. So when he falls in love, he'll act silly. But you don't have to worry. Adriano is a good man. His humanity is also very high. In the past, he always brought home cats and wild animals on the road, then took care of him. Our house turned into a captive animal because of the action,” beber Valerie while widened. Her laughter stopped when someone called out Mia's name. They both turned simultaneously towards the sound.

“Gosh, I'm looking for you everywhere,” said Francesca who was walking towards him.

“Alright, time to lift your feet from the pool. Don't let the baby in your stomach feel cold, Madam” Valerie. He then pulled his foot out of the pool, then tidied his pants.
