Mafia Kings: Adriano: Chapter 77
We returned to the tailor shop at 5 PM.
Guillardo saw us, looked away – then did a double-take as he looked at me again.
“Bellissima,” he said after a couple of seconds.
Very beautiful.
He wasn’t leering or over the top – just very matter-of-fact.
“Thank you,” I said shyly.
He nodded, then looked at Adriano and gestured towards the back. “I have it for you in the dressing room, Signore.”
“Okay,” Adriano said as he reached for my hand.
The little man raised one eyebrow.
I noticed the tailor’s reaction, even if Adriano didn’t. “Um… I can wait out here.”
“No,” Adriano said, then turned to Guillardo. “Unless you have bullet-proof glass and want to lock up the front door.”
I suddenly realized why he hadn’t let me out of his sight the entire day…
And it made me nervous.
Didn’t seem to faze Guillardo, though. He just dipped his head like As you wish.
“Please, Signorina, accompany us to the back.”
When we were all in the dressing room, Adriano stripped down to his boxer briefs again.
Seeing as we had company, I looked away… although I still sneaked a peak now and then.
The tailor helped Adriano dress, and when they finished…NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Adriano looked magnificent.
Like a Hollywood movie star out of the 1950s.
“Meraviglioso,” Guillardo said in his understated tone of voice.
Marvelous.
I couldn’t disagree.
Adriano grinned. “You approve?”
“A thousand percent,” I said.
The tailor nodded slightly. “The signorina has good taste.”
