"Well, the broker asked us to meet him here, and in fact, she is here now, and she will be waiting for us in 35 minutes from now!"

Rafal Langlo looked serious and raised an eyebrow in astonishment.

What is Angelo planning?!

"Don't worry, Rafal, leave it to me!"

And he took his cup of coffee and drank a sip from it and started thinking about the only blonde girl in this restaurant who was officially dressed elegantly; surely she was the broker he spoke to a while ago!

It was as if she was reading his thoughts. The blonde girl entered through the door and sat on one of the tables in the front porch. She opened a laptop she was carrying and began writing and browsing through it while drinking from the cup of coffee in front of her. Angelo now confirmed that she is the realtor and sat down to attend the meeting with her clients and liked its arrangement and organization.

Rafal spoke while looking at her, too.

"She is a very young woman, and it is unreasonable to rely on her in moments that seem to be fully focused and in other moments that seem to be lost. How can we trust her?! Her file has not been assigned to any company that works; how can we trust them?!"

"A child or young adult, I don't care; I have already agreed to see the property from the inside. This is the closest thing to what I want to buy and want."

Rafal replied sarcastically.

"I'm saying we get in our Escalade and head back to Miami! Who recommended this place to you?! Look at her—how she plays with the tip of her blouse and tufts of her hair while she's nervous!!"

"Okay, we'll use her tension to our advantage!"

Not interested in Rafal's mockery of him.

Rafal spoke again.

"If I owned this real estate company, it would be impossible for me to put valuable property in her hands to sell. It would be a huge loss if they could trick her into selling it for less than a million dollars. What kind of company is this that trusts a young woman like her to sell them the property of a valuable hotel?!"

Angelo replied.

"Look how she is sitting, and she is excited about our arrival even though I told her we will be in more than half an hour."

“Yes, I can see that too, but I think she is excited because she wants to sell it quickly and get rid of it to get her share of the brokerage.”

"Raval, I want this property, understand?!!"

“Yes, I understand.” Rafael drank the last sip of his cup of coffee and stood up.

"Okay, let's finish this topic and go buy another one. I've seen another real estate site near Orlando."

"You mean it's in the far north of Orlando," said Angelo, getting up from his chair and walking toward Chiara's table, and Bart caught up with them without saying a word as usual. The three walked towards Kiara's table on the front porch of the restaurant.

Kiara raised her head to look at three tall and handsome men in formal suits with their long black coats walking towards her. She got confused and closed the laptop in front of her to focus on them and pay more attention to what they wanted from her. Is it possible that her friend Lilia talked to them about her?!

The man with the big brown eyes and her sharp eyes extended his hand to her to shake her hand, but she remained stunned for a while, surprised!

"Are you Miss Kiara Collins?!"

"Yes."

She replied, feeling confused and astonished, "What made them come to her table, and who are they?!" I felt that they were scary, and around them was a halo of danger!

"I'm Angelo Tomsey. I called you about ownership of the hotel on the beach."

Did they know the whole time they were sitting down to their breakfast that it was the broker?! Were they looking at it from afar, and now they introduce themselves?! Did they expect that they would have the upper hand in their negotiations with me to lease this property?! What unfair and manipulative behavior!!!

She realized that she should shake his hand. She raised her chin up and stood with pride and high self-confidence and shook the hand of the man standing in front of her, who she felt was their leader...

Her fingers touched Angelo's hand, and he felt the softness of her palm in his big hand, and how she gave him strong looks!

"How did you know I'd be here?!"

"We didn't know it was a coincidence that we stopped here and called you, and I knew that you were the broker because your formal clothes indicated you, and I guessed it was you."

"Ahhh"

Chiara replied to them, thinking that the only Santiago restaurant around that opens its doors early in the morning to receive its customers...

After Angelo left her palm, he pointed to the two men standing with him.

This is Rafal Benacci.

Rafal did not shake hands with her but nodded his head and gestured to her respectfully.

And the other guy standing next to him is Bart.

Angelo pointed to the blond-haired man, Bart smiled and put his hands in his pockets, standing full length and taut, and did not shake hands with her.

"Now that we've met and got to know each other, we want to see the inside of the hotel before we make any other decisions."

Chiara replied in a soft, gentle voice.

"Of course, go from here, Mr. Tomsey; follow me."

Kiara closed the laptop in disbelief that they want to enter into the subject of work directly without sitting down to ask her about the lease terms and ownership details because most of her clients do this, asking a lot of questions and setting conditions, which are often annoying to her.

When they came out, following Chiara to the parking lot, Angelo suddenly stopped before she could get them to her car!

"We're going in my Miss Chiara car."

And he started walking in the opposite direction towards his Escalade on the other side of the parking lot, which made Chiara stop walking and follow him as she walked quickly to catch up with Angelo's big steps.

"Mr. Tomsey, what is the problem with my car?! Because it is my responsibility to transport my clients with my car to the place of the property!"

Angelo stopped and turned to her.

"I know that! What kind of car is your car?!"

"My car is a gray Civic, a modern model."

"Not safe enough!"

Angelo continued walking towards his black Escalade, where Rafal and Bart were waiting for him.

"We'll take my car for backup!"

Chiara thought toherself, what does he mean when he says her car is not safe?! And why does he make the eight-mile short distance from the restaurant to the hotel site a difficult and complicated matter and insist that he go by his car?!

As Bart got into the driver's seat, Angelo opened the passenger door and waited for Chiara to get in, but Chiara froze. About renting it?!

Angelo noticed her confusion and reluctance to ride in the car with them! "Would you like us to go in two separate cars? You can drive yours, and Bart will follow, but it will be difficult for us to know some answers to questions I want to ask you along the way about the property offered!"

"No."

Chiara lied. She wasn't comfortable getting in the car with them. She wanted to go with her car, but she ventured because they are the first customers to ask about the hotel in order to buy it, and she desperately wants to get her share of the rental broker so that she can buy the Santiago restaurant before it is sold to other people and because its location Not far from the restaurant, I got into the car, and Angelo rode next to it, and he rode a condom in the front seat...

Everyone was silent in the car for a moment; Chiara kept looking out the window, distracted as Angelo looked at her intently.

"Relaxed?!"

Her thoughts were interrupted by Angelo Chiara's question. Finally, she looked at him and replied with concern.

"Is there something to prevent me from being comfortable, and should I be worried, Mr. Thomsey?!"

"Probably"

Angelo replied to her, joking with her. His words were in a smooth and confident manner while he put one man on the other, making him more comfortable in his session, which made her more anxious and tense. He affects her, frightening and intimidating her with his actions, style, and looks, but she tries to hide it as much as she can! And Angelo knows this well and insists on provoking her feelings!!

"Okay, Mr. Tomsey, if you don't want to see the property or change your mind about it, can you stop the car and drop me off here, and I'll walk back to Santiago!"

She was clear and strong in her words, although she was not sure that what she said was appropriate, especially that she wanted to rent the hotel and take her share to realize her dream and buy the restaurant. Between her and herself, sometimes she blames her tongue for how she doesn't care what she says and lets her feelings act!

"Do you talk to all your clients in this way and in this tone?! You told me you were going to take me for a tour inside the hotel, and I'll take what I came for. I'm not here to waste your time! And surely you're not here to waste my time. Is that the concept of Miss Collins?!"

Angelo approached her until she could feel the warmth of his breath on her cheek, and with his fingers he gently placed it under her chin and raised her head.

His tone of voice was calm, but she felt that his words were a warning to her. Angelo was so close to her that she could not think of a reply to him. Confused by his behavior and his closeness as she felt his breath on her face, it made her feel ashamed and gave her goosebumps that ran through her entire body!

Was it fear or some kind of attraction to this mysterious man? She could not distinguish her feelings, but surely these feelings put her on the edge of her nerves! Chiara's wide blue eyes reflected her feelings of fear as she stared into Angelo's eyes. I felt the strength of this man and his ability to make anyone who challenges him turn into a coward! Angelo closed his eyes and clenched his lips tightly, resentful and dissatisfied with himself because he made her feel scared!

Why does he care?!

In his life he didn't care about anyone's feelings and didn't think for a moment about that. For some reason this girl made him feel guilty. Maybe because of the pure innocence in her eyes, he didn't want to encourage his thoughts that started to take up space in his mind about her even if it aroused his interest because she would never be able to have to deal with the life of the mafia!!!

Gently, he pulled his fingers from under her chin and leaned back in his seat by the window.

"Just show us the place, Mrs. Collins, and rest assured, there is nothing to worry about from us."

The black Escalda finally stopped, and Angelo looked at this great and amazing building, which directly overlooks the beach. With the sound of waves breaking on the edge of the beach with the gentle breeze of the sea, you can feel the taste of sea salt in the air under the morning sun... The white marble color covering the facade of the large hotel made it look antique with a touch of luxury, and the golden sand in front of it and the parking yards behind it are large areas that cannot be overlooked in the opportunity to invest in this wonderful piece of property... The three got out of the car, and Bart stayed in the driver's seat, waiting for their return. Kiara walked in the front and climbed the steps of the stairs towards the hotel entrance. She could see Angelo and Rafal staring at the stairs and the entrance as she inserted the key in the building door to unlock the lock and enter... Kiara turned on the light switches, hoping they were still working, and was relieved when they all lit up to reveal a wonderful view of the hotel lobby, whose floor is now covered in layers of dust and salt... "Take as much time as you want to look around; I'll be outside waiting for you both." Angelo walked around checking the walls; the ceiling and the floor seemed to be in perfect condition. There were no cracks in the ceiling or walls, and the floor looked solid and strong when he hit it hard with his boots... "What do you think, Rafal?!" Rafal replied as he looked around him... "It would be a perfect place for a hard and good-ground nightclub." He put his hand under his chin, thinking for a moment. "It will not be difficult to renovate it, and the building consists of five floors. We can remove the second and fourth floors so that we have a high ceiling for the main ground floor and for VIP rooms, in addition to a third floor for personal use for you and the rest of the gang." "It is true that renovating it and turning it into a nightclub will not cost much and will not take a long time either, and the external balcony can be open for sessions on the sea. Well, let's go out and ask about the price they want to sell at." Surprised, Rafal asked. "Don't you want to check out the rest of the upper floors?!" "No, it's the property I want." Angelo answered as he walked toward the door, when the two men came out of the building and saw Chiara standing with her back against one of the large white marble columns that raised the covered entrance. She is looking at the place behind her in her big blue eyes at Santiago Restaurant, and now See what you're thinking?!!! "Okay, Mrs. Collins, what is the property price?! If we reach an agreement now on its price, I want to sign the papers next week. I wanted to inquire more about the rest of the property details, but I have important work to finish as soon as I leave Kipiscone." "700 thousand dollars" She answered him, closing the hotel door behind them and locking it with the key... "What did you say?!" Angelo looked at the building, disbelieving her. "Is this a joke!!!" “What do you mean by joking, Mr. Thomsey?! This is the basic and applicable price. If you compare it to the rest of the neighboring properties, you will find it close to the same price! " "Miss Collins, I know that you may be new to the field of real estate marketing and sales, but even a new and ignorant employee in the market knows that the price of a large and wonderful property like this will not be less than 7 million dollars. Give me a suitable price so that you do not have problems with your company; they will think that you sold us for a heavy loss." "Oh, ooh, Mr. Tomsey." And I understood what he meant and what he understood from her words. It seems that he misunderstood her words! "Excuse me, Mr. Tomsey, the place is for rent only for $700,000!!"“Rent??!!!” She asks Rafal behind Angelo, and he is surprised as they come down from the steps of the stairs... "Mr. Tomsey and Rafal, the place was offered by my real estate marketing company for rent and not for sale. The hotel was not for sale but for rent only!!""What!!!" Angelo paused and took a deep breath. "The person who recommended the place to me sent me a list of the property's specifications stating that it is for sale and not for rent!! From an idiot who would spend a large amount to renew the property while he doesn't own the place, I definitely wouldn't do that!" "I don't know what to answer you, Mr. Tomsey." Chiara walked into the Escalda, opened the door, and took out a file with details of the property on it, with her company stamp on it, and it was clearly written that the property is not for sale but for rent only! She gave the papers to Angelo, checking them and turning them over and throwing them to Rafal to look at them while he was angry and angry and in a sharp tone... "Damn, what do they mean it's not for sale? I can't believe it!!" Kiara flinched and was afraid of his sharp reaction and could no longer look directly into the eyes of the two men; she held her arms to her chest, and she was confused as if she was trying to reassure her heart that was beating fast... When Angelo saw her, he knew that she was afraid of them. He turned and looked at Raval and took a deep breath from the seasickness, trying to calm his nerves and breath, and came back and looked at her... "Come with me." He grabbed her by the palm and opened the door of the black Escalade for her and helped her like a gentleman to get into her seat... "I know you have nothing to do with this mess, and it's not your fault. Stay here in the car with Bart while I call your company to inquire and sort it out." And he closed the car door. He did that because he wanted to block her from his angry talk on the phone with the other person on the line and the first official in her real estate marketing company... He started angry and annoyed as he raised his hands in the air in a sharp quarrel with the other person on the line, and in a moment he almost threw his mobile into the sea, but he took a deep breath and came back to complete his speech and then remained silent for a while, listening to what the other party was saying to him, then he closed his mobile and put it in the pocket of his long black coat. ... He crossed his arms over his chest until his nerves calmed down. Rafael didn't say a word until Angelo calmed down. Then they exchanged a few words and walked back toward the car. Angelo opened the door and looked at Kiara... "It seems that your company mistakenly mixed the data of this hotel with a second property and that the hotel is actually for sale and not for rent, but tell me, how can I trust your company when it did not pay attention to details and made a silly mistake like this? This is unprofessional work?!" "I don't know what to tell you, Mr. Tomsey, but this mistake has never happened before." She answered his question by wiping her hair with her hand to style it after the sea air caused her hair to fly out, avoiding looking into his eyes because of confusion! "Why don't you look at me when I talk to you?! I'm a customer; I want to buy. Do you want to sell the place and talk to me about it or not?" "What?!!!! Still interested in buying it!!" I expected that after his sharp anger, he would take her back to the Santiago restaurant, and that would be the end of the matter... "Your company has offered the hotel for sale for $9 million. I will need a week to think about the matter well and study it and calculate several numbers, but we may reach an agreement after negotiations on the price." For sale?!?! So the issue is confirmed that it is for sale and not for rent?!!! Now she can't pay 20% to the owner of the Santiago restaurant, so he doesn't sell it to other people! Her commission from renting the property has evaporated into thin air!! "Now, the property is not for rent but for sale, and you will negotiate with them on the price!" "Do you have a problem with this?!" Get in the car and close the door... "I have no problem." She turned to deny, but her sad tone of voice revealed her... Do you get a percentage when renting real estate?! "Yes, because I am a real estate broker responsible for renting real estate only because there is another broker responsible for selling." She spoke while holding her hands together in her lap and looking at them disappointed... "That's a reasonable expectation." Rafal said while getting into his front seat in the car..."Rafaaal!!" "Damn, what do they mean it's not for sale? I can't believe it!!" Kiara flinched and was afraid of his sharp reaction and could no longer look directly into the eyes of the two men; she held her arms to her chest, and she was confused as if she was trying to reassure her heart that was beating fast... When Angelo saw her, he knew that she was afraid of them. He turned and looked at Raval and took a deep breath from the seasickness, trying to calm his nerves and breath, and came back and looked at her... "Come with me."

She spoke while holding her hands together in her lap and looking at them disappointed... "That's a reasonable expectation." Rafal said while getting into his front seat in the car..."Rafaaal!!" Angelo looked at him sharply, warning him! "Don't do that." Warn him who started sarcasm or is trying to embarrass her! Angelo looked at her and continued his conversation with her. "And now you're upset because you won't get a cent and wasted your time for a bad day without getting any commission?!" "Yes, it is true; I would have used my time with other clients to market other properties that I would offer for rent only and not for sale! But mistakes do happen. I closed my seat belt and looked at Angelo. You will negotiate the price of the property with someone other than me, Mr. Thomsey. "You look very annoyed. What would you do with your commission? Would you spend it on vacation?! Cars?! Jewelry?" Kiara's eyes lit up with joy, and her thoughts went away... "No, not as you think! I was going to spend the money as a first payment for a Santiago restaurant. You know that restaurant where you ate breakfast? I want to buy it from its old owner before he sells it to other customers, and now I don't have enough money to do that because my savings don't cover the amount of the first payment...that restaurant. Close to my heart, I have been going to him since I was little, and I have beautiful memories... Unfortunately, I heard that there are people negotiating with the owner to buy it and turn it into an antiques and gift shop! I can't believe it!" You told me "Santigo Restaurant!!" Angelo looked at her with astonishment, not expecting that she wanted to invest her money! Kiara smiled. “Yes, Santiago Restaurant, I have always wanted to buy it. It has a perfect view of the beach, and its decorations are of a beautiful historical style, especially the champagne lockers in the basement of the restaurant and bar. In fact, they usually take customers to the basement to choose for themselves their favorite drink, and it serves delicious food as well. When I found out that Mr. Santiago was going to retire, I was devastated. I was hoping no one would buy it before I could rent the hotel, but now it's a beautiful dream to buy it before someone else does." Chiara spoke of her dream in a lively manner while she was at the top of happiness and completely forgot her confusion and previous anxiety about Angelo and Rafal. Her beautiful dream led her to buy a Santiago restaurant that would take her feelings for happiness and joy. It was not difficult for Angelo to see her love for the restaurant, and he could not resist what he said to her after hearing her words… "Well, you convinced me! If you decide to buy the restaurant, why don't you take me for a tour inside the Santiago restaurant when I come next week to clear the hotel sales papers?!" Angelo felt Rafal's eyes almost piercing him and making holes in his head as he stared at him in disbelief. How much money would Angelo cost?! There's just something about Chiara that catches my eye... Rafal would have doubted her intentions because she knew Angelo had millions, but he dismissed his doubts when he saw her behaving naturally, spontaneously, and honestly... Chiara responded to Angelo's surprise offer to her... "Of course I know Mr. Santigo wouldn't mind if I took you on a tour. I'm sure you'll like him.""Good." Angelo pulled his wallet out of his coat pocket, pulled out a card, and handed it to Kiara. "Here are the contact numbers. If you have any questions, call this Rafal number, because it is my private secretary and the person in charge of my work. We will have an appointment next week, unless you hear from him that the date has changed." Rafal spoke to Kiara from the front seat... Angelo will have time available next week on Tuesday. "Well, we have an agreement. Kiara will take me on a tour of the restaurant next Tuesday." "Okay," Kiara replied."good" The car stopped in front of the restaurant, and he got down and turned around the car and opened the door for her and extended his hand to her to hold, helping her to get down. Without hesitation and without thinking, she grabbed his hand and got down and turned her cheeks red like a wild catfish. Her embarrassing look made Angelo smile a light, dangerous smile... "Well, Mr. Tomsey, did you tell me the exact time of your coming to Kipiscone?!" "I'll call you on Tuesday morning to make sure I'll see you around 8pm unless something happens." Angelo returned to his black Escalade, got in, closed the door, and Bart drove off. He can still see Chiara standing at the door of the Santiago restaurant, a puzzled look and deep thought on her face from everything that happened today with him and her company and the story of the hotel and restaurant!
