Business in London is not finished. However, Adriano decided to leave for Birmingham. After traveling for about three hours, they finally arrived at the courtyard of a house that had been provided by Don Vargas. There also stood Juan Pablo who immediately approached them. "Mr D'Angelo," he said as he greeted Adriano who had just got out of the car. Before long, Mia and Coco came along. Juan Pablo also greeted the curly-haired man, then he kissed the back of Mia's hand politely. For a moment, the man of Mexican-Spanish descent looked at Miabella who immediately hid behind the slender body of the mother.
"Welcome" said Juan Pablo. "This is the home that Don Vargas has prepared for you and your family to live in during their stay in Birmingham. The house is not as grand as the mansion in Monaco, Mr. D'Angelo. However, I'll make sure that your wife and little daughter will feel comfortable while they're here" the honey-eyed man said. Every now and then, he steals a look at Mia who is busy looking at the situation around the house.
While Coco was also fixedly watching the man before her. For some reason, he felt so curious about the figure of Juan Pablo. Coco sees that there is a hidden side in the man that she does not show. "Can't he speak Italian?" whispered the man who now started keeping the moustache.
"As I heard .. no" answered Adriano.
"Oh, alright," Coco replied as she was being bearded. "Aren't you going to let us in?" tanyakanya. Juan Pablo, who was stealing eyes from Mia, immediately turned his attention to Coco.
"This is the key" Juan Pablo thrust a key at Adriano. Immediately, the blue-eyed man accepted. After that, he turned to Coco. "Take my wife and daughter in" he said. Adriano is well aware that since then Juan Pablo has often stolen views against Mia.
Coco nodded in agreement. "Mia" he called slowly. "Come, let's see what the inside of this house looks like" he asked.
Mia turned to Adriano before following Coco. The blue-eyed man gestured for him to comply with the invitation of his sister-in-law. Without much protest, Mia nodded slowly. With Miabella's wrist turned and led to the entrance, Adriano could see clearly as Juan Pablo's tail followed Mia's grace, which passed from before them.
For a moment, Adriano laughed in his heart. He realized, maybe that was how Matteo felt as he continued to attack Mia with a seductive look. It was only natural that Matteo was so emotional that night, when she found out that she had kissed Mia forcibly. Adriano will certainly do that, or maybe more than that. Right now, he could not bear to immediately expel Juan Pablo from his presence.
"We will gather at the location around ten in the morning. Try to get there on time, because Don Vargas is a very disciplined person" Juan Pablo warned.
"You need not worry, Mr. Herrera. I'm a person who really values time" Adriano replied.
"Tomorrow we will also meet directly with the architect who has been trusted by Don Vargas for this project. He is from America, but has long settled in England" Juan Pablo said without changing his tone and tone.
"Yes, okay. I'll remember it" Adriano said briefly and seemed lazy.
"One more thing" continued Juan Pablo. "We have prepared a vehicle for you with a private driver" Juan Pablo pointed to the black sedan, with a young man in a black suit standing just a short distance away. The man nodded politely as Adriano and Juan Pablo turned to him. "He will take you and your family anywhere."
"Before, I thanked you for all your kindness. However, I think Don Vargas is too much. I can use the rental car while I'm here, so ...."
"Don Vargas wouldn't like it if he heard what you said just now. He has always behaved so with all his business associates. So, don't be surprised by anything like that" Juan Pablo said. A moment later, the honey-eyed man saw his watch. "I have to get back soon. Don't forget tomorrow at ten in the morning. Enjoy Birmingham" he said, addressing Adriano.
"Thank you" Adriano replied briefly. He noticed Juan Pablo turning around and getting into his car. Without further ado, the cold man drove his car out of the two-story courtyard where Adriano was to live. Adriano was still in his place. He then turned his attention to the car with the driver who had been standing like a bodyguard. Without saying much, the dark-haired beautiful man immediately entered.
"Has that man gone?" asked Coco who immediately greeted Adriano in the living room with a question.
"Already," answered Adriano, turning to Coco who was sitting relaxed while playing a mobile phone.
"I felt weird about this guy named Juan Pablo" Coco said, pausing what she was doing. He sneered at Adriano and looked at him for a moment.
"Not even you ask I'll take care of them both. Just go and get all your business done. Anyway, you brought all the tools that were clean yesterday. That way, we will always be connected. As long as you're alive, of course" Coco said at the end of the sentence. The curly-haired man then chuckled freely and seemed so satisfied. Adriano did not respond. She looked at Coco for a moment, then just passed by.
"Hey, don't you want to respond to my words at all?" exclaimed Coco while holding back her laughter.
......................
Next day. As Juan Pablo had ordered yesterday, they will meet at the site of the casino construction project. Around ninety-thirty in the morning, Adriano was already looking well dressed in a white shirt. Meanwhile, his black hair was neatly combed back.
"You're leaving now?" mia asked while standing in front of her husband. Tidying up the front of the shirt the man was wearing.
"Yes. Don't worry, because Ricci will be here with you as long as I'm gone" Adriano gently stroked Mia's cheek with the back of her hand. He still felt that what he got now was like a dream. He never imagined that he could touch and kiss Mia so freely, like what he was doing at the time.
"I'm a lot more worried about you, Adriano," Mia held both of her husband's burly arms wrapped in a press body shirt. "I always pray for the best for you, but somehow because I feel really uncomfortable. If you can choose, I don't want you to go anywhere," Mia cupped a handsome face with a thin beard that had been shaved neatly. She kissed him for a while, until Miabella's voice stopped the sweet scene.
The little girl was standing at Adriano's feet. He tugged at his father's pants to look at him immediately. "What's up, honey?" Adriano breaks away from Mia, then lowers her body in front of Miabella.
"When are we going to have ice cream while riding that high barn I saw yesterday, Daddy Zio?" miabella's expression and style of speech sounded so funny.
"After my business is done, we'll resume the delayed sightseeing event. Now I have to go first, Sweet Child," Adriano kissed Miabella's forehead, then stood up straight. After glancing at Mia for a moment, she immediately walked out of the room. Adriano had to rush to the construction project site.
By using a car plus a private driver that has been prepared by Don Vargas, Adriano headed to a place that is about an hour away. Looks busy the project workers with their respective duties. Adriano got out of the car and immediately walked up to Don Vargas who was talking with two men. Bianca was seen among them. Previously, there was one who gave Adriano a project helmet to wear during his time there.
"Mr D'Angelo" said Don Vargas as he approached Adriano. He greeted and hugged the sturdy man familiarly. "How was your first day in Birmingham?" asked the middle-aged man in pleasantries.
"Excellent, thank you very much. All the facilities that you have prepared really make me feel comfortable," replied Adriano smiling calmly.
"I'm so glad to hear that you're here with your family" Don Vargas responded. "Let me introduce to the architect who has been meritorious, by giving an extraordinary design in this project," asked the slightly shaggy-haired man. He who greeted Adriano, immediately brought the man back to his place. "Mr Dixon, introduce this is Mr. Adriano D'Angelo" he said.
Timothy Dixon immediately turned his head and stared fixedly at Adriano. After that, then he reached out and invited the blue-eyed handsome man to shake hands. "How are you, Mr D'Angelo? Nice to meet you," said the bearded man quite thickly.
"Thank you, Mr. Dixon. It's an honor to meet you" Adriano replied kindly. However, a moment later Adriano fell silent and thought after recalling Dixon's name. The name was the same as the young man mentioned yesterday.
"Hi, Adriano," Bianca said, kissing Mia's husband's cheek. "I knew you'd come on time" she said with a sweet, graceful smile.
"I don't want to laugh at my business partner" Adriano replied. He turned his attention back to Timothy whom he had just met. One thing that made Adriano more interested in the man besides the last name Dixon. It was a strange bobble necklace she was wearing. Adriano felt like he had seen the necklace before.
