Cooperation

"Metteo, it's Adelien. The little girl who plays with us."

Adelien hugged Metteo, to his surprise. Remembering the little girl he always usilin, even crying because of her. "I miss my Uncle." Metteo returned Adelien's embrace.

"The crybaby girl was already big" Metteo said.

"Adelien parsed his embrace." He was angry, always being ridiculed.

"How are you?" ask Metteo. He stroked Adelien's head.

"I'm good,"

"Mette!" Everyone turned their heads, including Andelien who squinted his eyes.

"Adelien, she's Metteo's girlfriend."

Deg

Adelien's chest was like in a squeeze, his two eyes glazed over. Those tears just shed. "Hey, why are you crying?" ask Duke Marcello.

Metteo closed his eyes. He was worried, and suddenly Adelien was crying in front of him. "Adelien, what's wrong?" ask Metteo gently.

"Ti-no, anything. I'm just overwhelmed," said Adelien. There's no way he's telling the truth. Ever since he was a child he had always coveted Metteo, he had always clung to him like a leech.

"Miss Adelien, let me take you to the guest room" said Duchess Natalien, who saw that Waitress Lilly had returned.

Adelien followed the steps of Duchess Natalien while looking down. He was very disappointed in Metteo, the man had a lover. Though his intention came here, if Metteo did not come. He'll beg Duke Marcello. But what he wanted was not to his liking.

Duchess Natalien stopped her steps in the doorway. "Miss Adelien, is there anything that bothers you?"

"Lily, you wait outside. Give me a code if anyone comes near." Duchess Natalien pulled Adelien's hand inside, closed the door and looked up. "You like Metteo,"

Huh

Adelin's face was pale instantly, he immediately walked towards the window. Avoiding Duchess Natalien's gaze. She believes Duchess Natalien will tell her to forget Metteo.

"No! who likes uncle Metteo." Adelien is insistent and firm.

Duchess Natalien gave a small laugh. "Don't lie to me, your gaze said you liked Metteo. I'm a woman, I know what your gaze meant."

"I told you, I don't like Uncle Metteo."

"I will support you" said Duchess Natalien. He sat looking at Adelien, observing the woman standing in front of the window. "I honestly don't like Keyna, because she's been messing with my life."

Adelien felt hooked, his neck turned, then approached Duchess Natalien. "I mean Duchess."

"It turns out, he's Duke Marcello's childhood friend."

Huh

Both Adelien's eyes were rounded. "I mean the Duchess, that woman's a close friend of the Duke."

"Yes, it all started with Duke's illness. Metteo pretends to be Duke Marcello. Duke Marcello is fighting the disease. Duke Marcello's attitude changed, it was not the original Duke but Metteo. Since then, Metteo and Duke Marcello have been arguing a lot, and Metteo has been honest. But one day, I didn't know Metteo had feelings or not. Keyna was jealous and misunderstood. Until finally, I saw that both of Keyna's eyes held awe. A woman's longing for a man, not for a childhood friend. I feel like that look is different. In the end, Keyna pointed. He challenged me, Duke Marcello chose him or me."

"Then why is the Duchess supporting me? if Metteo likes the Duchess."

"It was just a misunderstanding, even though Metteo liked me. I don't like it, I'm just for Marcello. I loved him, even though it was disappointing, but I realized. Duke did it so I wouldn't be sad. That's why I support you, make Metteo love you. It seems like she was admiring your beauty."

"Truly," Like a newly blooming flower, the face was beaming.

"I'm not lying, another look. Try to approach it, even if it is not easy. At least you've tried." Duchess Natalien. "Think of our cooperation."

"Wait Duchess! I want to, I want to work with you."

Duchess Natalien smiled, then nodded.

Keyna, look. How long will you last.
