Chapter 75 Daydreams
Andreas got back from the errand Luciano had sent him, wondering how best to tell Luciano the client invited them to Tuscany.
The normal atmosphere hanging around the mansion.
The same quietness since Isabella left.
She brought more life Into this place than we realize, Andreas thought as he approached Luciano's room.
Knocking slightly, Andreas entered the room after knocking three times and he hadn't heard a “come in”.
“What happened!?!”, Andreas asked as he saw Luciano typing away on his laptop.
“I guess I was too lazy to talk that loud!”, Luciano answered.
“Oh!
I was starting to think you were asleep!”, Andreas said.
“Nahh I wasn't! How was where I sent you?!”, Luciano asked.
“Well, the client invited you to his lounge in Tuscany! However, I couldn't give him any news yet as I didn't know if you were interested!”, Andreas answered.
“Tuscany…!”, Luciano drawled.
The last time he had been in that region, he thought he had seen Isabella.
“Are the men there still keeping an eye on the Morales?!”, Luciano asked.
“Yes! They are sir! But it's starting to look like Isabella isn't in any of the places we've been searching.
“Very well.
How important is my visit to Tuscany going to secure the deal?!”, Luciano asked again! He didn't especially feel like leaving his mansion.
“Roughly eighty percent sir!”, Andreas answered, going straight to the point.
“Can't I send someone in my name!?”, Luciano asked yet again.
“If that were possible I would have started with that sir!”, Andreas answered.
“It's fine then! We'll go to Tuscany!”, Luciano agreed.
“How long do we have to stay there?!”, He inquired again.
“About a week! He has a few parties he has invited you to!”, Andreas answered.
“We'll go to Tuscany then!”, Luciano answered.
Andreas went back down the stairs, surprised to catch a glimpse of Mia.
It had been quite a while since he had seen her.
She was watching something on the TV, too caught up to notice Andreas' presence.
As she broke into laughter, Andreas walked towards her, getting even more entranced by Mia.
“Hi!”, he started, a very unusual gesture in Mia’s books.
“Oh hi Andreas! How are you!" Mia responded, putting the movie on pause.
“Yeah! Uhmm
Are you watching alone?!”, Andreas asked as he intended to actually make conversation with Mia.
“No actually! Madam Paula was watching earlier, but she went inside not too long ago! She wanted to take a nap!”, Mia answered.
“Can I join you then?!”, Andreas asked again, targeting the seat closest to Mia’s.
“Ouuuu definitely! I didn't know you have all that free time to watch a movie!”, Mia commented.
Andreas didn't in fact have any time to catch up with any movies, but, because he saw an opportunity to talk to Mia, he was going to take it.
“So you like romance?!”, Mia asked, taking the opportunity to have a conversation with him.
“Ohh yeah, you can have a seat too!”, she said as Andreas stood on his feet waiting for her invitation.
“Thank you…!”, Andreas started as he sat on his targeted seat.
“And uhm, I don't particularly like romance! It's just that you were giggling and all! So it got me curious!”, Andreas finished.
“Ohhh! What's a busy man like you curious about!?”, Mia asked.
“I told you! The movie!”, Andreas said,smiling at Mia’s antics.
“So…
Speaking of busy!
How's the search going?!”, Mia inquired.
“Well, it hasn't been particularly expected that we wouldn't have found her by now!
At this point pretty much everything is a possibility!”, Andreas answered honestly.
“So she might have been kidnapped!?”, Mia said, basing her thoughts on Andreas' sentence.
“That is a possibility as well!”, Andreas said.
He watched Mia's conflicted expression.
“I don't want Isabella to be kidnapped!”, Mia admitted.
“It's fine!
We're doing everything possible to find Isabella!”, Andreas said, a way to comfort her.
“Thank you!
It's just that I miss her so much!”, Mia confessed.
Her mention of missing Isabella took Andreas' mind to Luciano.
The Don was so horrible at admitting his feelings.
Glancing towards his watch, Andreas remembered he had to go put things in order for The Don's arrival in Tuscany.
He had no idea that Mia had watched his interaction.
“I just knew you couldn't sneak a movie!”, Mia said, quite sad that Andreas had to leave.
“Ahh!
Well! I have to get some work done!
You can't blame me!
I'm his only assistant!”, Andreas said as he pointed to the floor above.
A gesture to signify Luciano.
“So you have to go?!”, Mia asked, making it obvious she wasn't quite happy with the news.
“Yes I do!”, Andreas said, getting on his feet to start leaving.
“We'll get to watch lots of movies together once we've found Isabella!”, Andreas said so innocently before he left.
Indeed, the uncertainty of man’s tomorrow would always hinder him.
Andreas didn't have the slightest clue they were never going to watch a movie together.
But that didn't mean he didn't hope for it!.
Quite unwilling to leave the comforts of his mansion, Luciano had no other choice but to leave for Tuscany two days after Andreas broke the news to him.
He had considered everything but finding Isabella as a chore.
Packing had been a chore.
Getting ready was a chore.
Being driven to the private jet seemed like a chore.
Flying on the plane seemed to be a chore…
In fact every other thing was a chore to The Mafia Don at the time.
His private jet landed on a private landing strip in Tuscany.
The cars Andreas arranged taking them to his private villa in the region.
“Would you like to take any stops sir!?”, The driver asked as soon as Andreas entered after Luciano.
“No!
Not particularly!
Do you have to get anything??”, Luciano said, directing the question towards Andreas.
“No sir…!”, Andreas answered before he looked towards the driver.
“Just take the normal route to the villa!”, Andreas said.
“Yes sir!”, the driver answered, the entourage of Vehicles rolling out as soon as Luciano was settled.
The power the man commanded!!!!
Luciano looked through the tinted windows as the vehicle drove to the villa.
He unintentionally admired the landscape, the buildings, the people going about their daily lives.
He suddenly saw a familiar figure.
With very familiar hair.
Andreas was confused as he suddenly saw the Don sit up slowly.
“Isabella!”, he heard The Don call out.
He quickly whipped his head to the direction Luciano was looking at.
“Stop the car!”, Luciano ordered, disregarding the fact that they were on the road and his order could have caused an accident.
