The Bodyguard's
False Invitations

"So, that means Vlad knows Roderyk Lenkov well. Is it possible if Roderyk also had any involvement with Viktor Drozdov? It could have been that they were connected to each other from the very beginning" Carlo thought.

"Every eventuality could happen, my lord. However, we have to investigate this very carefully. We all know that Roderyk Lenkov is not a random person. If it's a little wrong to take a step, then the consequences will be very bad for your image as well as the Red Wolf Clan. It does not rule out the possibility that it will trigger a counterattack on our side" Grigori explained.

"If Roderyk Lenkov is also the man behind Viktor Drozdov, then that should make us even more vigilant. I think, Mr. Marco de Luca must have good advice for you." Grigori turned his attention to the Klan de Luca leader who seemed to be thinking.

"If I had known the man, it wouldn't have been so difficult. However, from the conversation we had a while ago and if I don't remember wrongly, Roderyk said that he has only been living in Italy for a few years. He previously lived in Germany. I don't know if he leads an organization or not there, but ...."

Marco paused his words, then turned his gaze to Miabella.

"You've known Vlad Ignashevich for a long time, Bella. Why not try to extract information from the man? This should be very easy for you, especially if it is proven by the closeness between the two of them" said the father of two children.

However, Miabella did not immediately respond. He glanced at Carlo who clearly showed a disapproving look at Marco's proposal. Miabella understood it well. "Vlad is not the type of person who easily tells stories even though he is friendly and ...."

"You know him very well, Cara mia," Carlo interrupted in a half-sinning tone.

"Ah done. Please don't start, Carlo," Miabella protested.

"Is your husband jealous of her?" daniella whispered to the niece, who replied only a short complaint from Miabella.

"Why indeed? I'm just saying that you know the man very well" Carlo said, shrugging his shoulders. Miabella chose not to respond again. "Do you not have any other access that can take me to Roderyk, sir?" Carlo turned his attention back to Marco.

"I told you that I don't know that man very well. However, Roderyk Lenkov is also a businessman. I heard that he has an interest in gemstones" Marco explained.

"Why don't you guys try to track Roderyk down on the internet, if the guy you're referring to is someone influential?" advice Coco. "I don't think it's that hard, considering I did it while tracking down a guy named Don Vargas." Coco who had felt so full after eating two servings of typical Palermo dish earlier, finally came to a sound.

"I'm not ahlimya in such a thing" Carlo argued.

"You're not the expert, Carlo. But Ricci can help you. He is a reliable stalker" Daniella said, prompting Coco to turn her head immediately while putting on a protest look. Daniella looks ordinary. The blonde haired lady even still looked very calm.

"Why are you still here, Dani?" reply Coco does not like. Francesca's husband seemed increasingly uneasy, as the attention of others continued to be on him. "What's? Nah! I told you that I was very busy with my work in Rome," declined Coco who was already able to guess the meaning of the gazes they had presented earlier.

"I will compensate you for every waste of your time to help me, Mr. Ricci," said Carlo half-expecting.

"It's not about the money, Carlo," Coco argued quite forcefully. “I've sworn to Francy not to put myself in danger. So, sorry because I can only help give you advice.”

“Then, you must find your own way in order to get closer to Roderyk. There is no other option, Carlo,” timpal Marco while breathing slowly.

“You must be able to control your emotions due to personal problems, for a greater purpose. Hold your jealousy first, because there is no other option to find out about Roderyk Lenkov, other than through Vlad Ignashevich,” continued Coco.

“In this case, I fully agree to the proposal of mr de Luca and Mr Ricci. They both had unquestionable experience." Grigori again expressed his opinion.

Miabella chose not to say much. Occasionally, the wife of the head of the Red Wolf Clan looked at each other with Daniella who was also not going to say anything.

“Ah alright.” Carlo breathed a rough breath. “Then we arrange a meeting between Miabella and Mr. Ignashevich,” break up the youngest son of the late Nikolai Volkov in the end.

“How?” asked Carlo who then immediately gulped. The feeling became unpleasant, when the wife said so.

“Either why, because the man always told me so much if only two were with me,” Miabella replied, making Carlo clench his hands tightly. The bad feeling had finally happened.

“Did I not hear wrong, Cara mia? You want to meet him alone?” carlo asked with great emphasis.

“Gosh,” Miabella shook her head slowly while smiling knot. “I guess I'm the only one with above average jealousy. It turns out you too,” chirped it while laughing softly.

“Of course, Bella. The level of jealousy of men in my opinion is even greater than that of women. However, we are better at controlling ourselves and hiding such feelings,” Coco said proudly.

“Begini only.” Marco tried to mediate. “How about you invite Vlad to Casa de Luca. Pretend you're alone, Bella. Whereas Carlo can hide somewhere and tap into your conversation,”.

“I think that's a good idea, Mr.” Grigori flicked the finger of the agreed sign.

“I also liked your idea Uncle Marco,” timpal Miabella while mangosteen.

“If I was up to you, because tonight I should be in Rome or Francy wouldn't let me into the house.” Coco responded.

“We'll take you, Uncle Ricci,” exclaims Miabella enthusiastically. “All of us will return to Casa de Luca.”

“You can't wait to arrange a meeting with your handsome colleague, Bella,” Carlo quipped with a sneering smile. His face looks ordinary. However, who would have thought that in his heart, Carlo felt hot as if he was burning with fire.

“That's for sure, Handsome. I can't wait to find out immediately the mastermind behind my kidnapping attempt back then, as well as the mysterious people who have threatened our safety,” Miabella said.

“So, when are you planning to meet him?” ask Daniella who feels the situation between the newlyweds is getting heated up.

“See this, Aunt Dani.” Miabella pulled out her phone, then pressed Vlad's contact number quietly. After touching the loud speaker button, he made a call with the native Russian man. Not long after, Vlad answered the phone call earlier. From his tone, they could already deduce that Vlad sounded so happy upon receiving a call from Miabella.

“How are you, Miss de Luca? Is there anything important that you call me all of a sudden?” ask the young entrepreneur enthusiastically.

“My news is very good. Thank you for asking. Oh yea. I want to talk to you about business. Can you come to Casa de Luca tomorrow? I will invite you to dinner in person,” replied Miabella in her relaxed style.

“Tomorrow? Personally?” reset Vlad.

“Iya. Dinner together, so that we can talk more freely about everything without anyone's interference,” said Miabella while sharing a faint smile.

Hearing that, Carlo immediately widened his eyes as a sign of protest. But Miabella doesn't care. His smile grew wider, as Vlad was willing to accept the invitation.
