"What do you have in mind about him?" Adriano looked seriously at Coco.

"Eitherway. I'll try to investigate later. This kind of work must be done with a calm mind" Coco replied as she moved on. "By the way, Marco called me. He'll be ready at about four."

Adriano then looked at the circular watch on his left wrist. There's still about ten minutes left until four o'clock. However, Coco has invited Adriano to follow her steps towards the workspace of the late Matteo. Damiano decided to go to the room and clean up. He will only receive reports of the progress of his case.

Adriano has been in the workspace several times. However, he did not have time to observe every detail. Only this time Adriano had the opportunity to explore every corner of the room is large enough.

There was something that first caught Adriano's attention, namely the work desk that he had seen from a distance away. Every time he entered the room, Adriano always chose to sit in a chair. Now, the handsome blue-eyed man decided to approach the workbench and noticed some of the picture frames displayed there.

On the table is a photo of Matteo's parents in the largest frame. Then, there is also a photo of baby Miabella who is just a few days old. One of Adriano's most interesting is the wedding photo of Mia and Matteo. A photo of the couple taking an oath of allegiance and kissing. Mia looks so beautiful with her wedding dress and also her white veil.

“Since Theo's departure, nothing has changed in the slightest from this room. I hope you don't mind,” said Coco who had noticed Adriano's movements from the beginning.

“Of course, it doesn't matter to me. Anyway why do I mind?” Adriano smiled faintly, then sat behind Matteo's desk. He then turned to look at the window right next to him. Adriano's blue eyes glazed over, staring blankly at the Casa de Luca courtyard that looked out of the window.

He remembered when Mia accidentally expressed her feelings when the woman was drunk. For Adriano, that was more than enough. He no longer needs to think about the past which is already meaningless in the present, other than just as a memory. Adriano. Again he saw the watch that had shown four hours less a few minutes.

“So, is Marco ready?” adriano asked after a few minutes passed in silence.

“Try to contact him,” reply Coco.

“Alright,” Adriano turned on the personal computer device in front of her. Instantly he scrunched his forehead. “I need a password to activate it,” Adriano said while turning to Coco.

“Password is easy. You only have to enter three letters, namely Mia,” replied Coco while dragging a chair and then put it next to Adriano. She then sat down casually at Mia's husband's side.

“Password is wrong,” Adriano said with a flat face and voice.

“Ah, then, Mia 0622,” replied Coco again.

“Are you sure?” adriano's eyes glanced back at Coco.

“Yakin! Just try!” coco replied confidently.

Adriano tried it. He smiled as he had successfully turned on the computer screen. “What is 0622?” ask Adriano.

“Theo and Mia's wedding date,” Coco tilted her head while looking at Adriano with a funny look. The curly-haired man was also seen raising both his eyebrows. He seemed to be deliberately teasing the man.

“Can you keep your face away from me? I feel like you're about to kiss me,” Adriano chirped while keeping her head away from Coco.

“You're not that cool to the point of making a normal guy like me fall in love, Amico,” snorts Coco annoyed. “Quick contact Marco!” he said with emotion.

Adriano laughed softly, then opened the app to make a video call. Before long, Marco's face was clearly visible on the screen. “Pronto (hello)!” sapana. “Before you say anything, someone wants to join us this afternoon" Marco said.

Adriano and Coco look at each other to hear Marco. Their question marks were finally answered when another one of a person's faces appeared on the screen. “Detective Ranieri,” says Adriano and Coco together.

“Come stanno tutti (how are you all)?” the detective smiled his smile wide while waving his hand. “I heard Mr. Adriano managed to find one of Matteo de Luca's killers. Unfortunately, the honorable Mr. Adriano did not inform me of that. I came late to Croatia. When I arrived at the scene of the crime, the place was clean, as if nothing had happened before,” explained the detective.

Finished speaking so, the friendly and cheerful face of the young detective Ranieri suddenly disappeared just like that. Change into a tense and fierce face. “I don't want anything like this again, Mr. Adriano. As per the agreement, you should always report your findings to me!” the man's tone was high.

“For me, reporting my every move to you is an obstacle,” elak Adriano.

“There is no reason, Mr. Adriano. Why is it so difficult for you to understand that our cooperation is equally beneficial to both parties, me and you,” explains Ignazio Ranieri.

Adriano took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. He seemed to be thinking about the detective's last sentence. While Coco shook her head slowly. He tried to tell Adriano through his body movements. But Adriano ignored the man. As Coco had another opinion.

“I will leave for England as soon as possible and stay there for a while. In addition to hunting down Thomas Bolton, I also have to review the cooperation project with one of my business partners,” Adriano said without being asked.

“So, is this Thomas Bolton also one of the perpetrators?” detective Ignazio Ranieri seemed very interested in Adriano's words, especially when Adriano nodded.

“He's one of the executors too. Ricci and I intend to investigate and pursue him there. Therefore, I need unlimited support and resources from you,” continued Adriano.

Ignazio's face softened. He looked to be leaning back, and then crossing. “What power source did you ask for?” tanyakanya.

Before replying, Adriano glanced at Marco who did not say much, but was the calmest of the three. “Let me explain when I'm in England. For now, I just want to find out who Thomas Bolton is and what his background is,”.

"Don't you tell me to calm down?" whispered Coco upset.

"Adriano glanced at the curly-haired man and smiled calmly. "I say that so you don't talk much" he replied lightly with a half whisper. Adriano turned his attention back to the computer screen.

Detective Ignazio was thinking hard. “I have an acquaintance who also works as a police officer,” he said later. “He has access to the data center. From there, we're going to start our first step in finding out who Thomas Bolton really is" he said.

“One more, detective. I want you to clear my tracks there, when it's all done and I've managed to knock out Thomas Bolton,” Adriano's pinta.

“That's a very easy thing. Enough to snap my finger,” as long as Ignazio is confident.

“Good, then,” Adriano smirked in satisfaction. Same with Coco and Marco.

"So, when are you going?" ask Marco.

“We will leave for the UK in the next few days,” Coco replied.

“I will prepare everything,” Ignazio said before exiting the video call and leaving the three of them. Adriano was about to say something to Marco. However, he immediately undone when he saw Mia enter the workspace with a look of caution. “What's up, Mia?” tanyakanya.

“I want to talk to you alone,” the beautiful woman's gaze is straight on Adriano.

Marco can clearly hear Mia's voice immediately ending the call, and only Coco is still unmoved in her place. It made Mia and Adriano look at the curly-haired man.

“Why?” Coco put on a plain face.

“Mia says she wants to talk alone with me,” Adriano replied in an emphasis-stated tone.

“Think I'm not here,” Coco leaned on the chair while bending her hands behind her head.

“Ricci!” mia's firm voice had managed to make the man stand up instantly.

“Alright, Mia. If you tell me to, I will obey. I didn't want my relationship with Francy to be in danger,” Coco immediately stood up and rushed out.

Adriano himself chose to stay in his place while waiting for Mia to approach him and sit down at Coco's place.

“So, is this why you went to England?” the voice of Mia. His eyes look so sad.

“Iya, Mia. I told you, I won't stop until everything is revealed,” Adriano brings her face closer to the wife.

“I ...” Mia hesitantly continued her words. He was basically worried too. In a way, Mia wants the mastermind behind Matteo's murder to be revealed. But on the other hand he was very worried about Adriano. “Entah why I feel bad,” muttered Mia while touching her husband's cheek.

“All will be well, Mia. Thank you for worrying about me,” Adriano and then gently kiss the lips of the wife.
