Right From The Start {Book 2}

New Year and Old Ways

Opening the front door is Melanie, feeling almost dreamy like. Slouching against the door as if she meet her prince charming.

"Isn't someone in love?" [Fede]

"I wouldn't call it love, unless this is what love at first sight feels like." [Melanie]

"I'm sorry we haven't official introduced. I am Federico; I attend to the studio and I also live in with the Castillo's." [Fede]

"Melanie, and why is that?" [Melanie]

"My family moved back to Italy, but Antonio and Pablo wanted me to stay in Buenos Aires to attend the studio and make my dreams come true. My mom is a friend of German, he is letting me stay here as a good family-friend." [Fede]

"Well it is a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect German to open his house to this many juveniles." [Melanie]

"Well most of us are considered to be family." [Vilu]

She comes out of the kitchen with a muffin in her hands.

"What are you two talking about?" [Vilu]

"Just getting acquainted." [Melanie]

"And to find out the mysterious guy she just meet out on the streets." [Fede]

"What is he like?" [Vilu]

"Very attractive, has the kindest eyes, he is passionate about music, has his own band." [Melanie]

"Do you think you will see him again?" [Fede]

"If life wants me to, things will work out as they should. Now if you excuse me I still have some packing to do." [Melanie]

Up the stairs she disappears to while Federico and Violetta continue to talk about her mysterious guy. Ironically neither of them could put together that the guy she mentioned was Leon.

Marrotti was making his way to U-Mix's headquaters, but someone got in his way.

"Marrotti!" [Ludmilla]

"Good morning. Ludmilla." [Marrotti]

"I understand you're a very busy man." [Ludmilla]

"Smart girl. If you know I'm a busy man then you know my time is precious." [Marrotti]

Thinking that if he'd just kept walking away that she wouldn't bother with him. Instead she walks with him while talking. Nothing can stop Ludmilla's persistence.

"Exactly that is why the next three minutes we have together is crucial." [Ludmilla]

"What?" [Marrotti]

He stops to have her finish as he is already getting annoyed with her.

"It's a shame that U-Mix lost one of their major artists." [Ludmilla]

"Not one, two. With Violetta's  influence Federico had resign too." [Marrotti]

"I'd say it's more of their loss. What if I tell you that today you can quickly pick up the next best thing." [Ludmilla]

"I'd say you should become someone's manager. Who do you have?" [Marrotti]

"Me." [Ludmilla]

Instantly Marrotti wished he hadn't had asked for that answer. Rolling his eyes should have been a flag to Ludmilla that he was clearly not interested. Sure Ludmilla has talent, but working with her is near to impossible.

"Just imagine Ludmilla Ferro in big bright lights, a clothing line called Ludmi and maybe even a mini-sized doll." [Ludmilla]

"Sorry, but U-Mix is not interested. If you may exucse me, I have to get going." [Marrotti]
