Chapter 244 - A Sweet Yet Embarrassing Moment
" ...Is that your final answer ? " asked Helios again with a serious expression .
" Yes ! You are definitely related to politics . " said Aria .
".....Why do you think I choose you ? " asked Helios this time , looking at her with a sincere smile .
" Given the promise you made to me......I can only guess that...you have a lot of enemies and have no one to sincerely depend on when facing the law . If you were so desperate to even hire me to be your lawyer , it means that you must have a difficult challenge ahead . " said Aria .
" Are you perhaps looking down on yourself ? " asked Helios with a smirk .
" I never look down on myself and I never will . I am just speaking the rational thinking of a wealthy person . " said Aria with a serious expression and noncaring tone .
\' Hahaha ! What a girl !....... It\'s such a waste that I didn\'t meet you early . My problems would have already been solved long ago . \' thought Helios with a satisfied smile when he heard Aria\'s explanation .
" Did I guess correctly ? " asked Aria when she noticed that he kept staring at her silently .
" Yes...too correctly to be true !.....Sometimes you are so silly , sometimes you are so naive yet...sometimes you are so smart that it surprises me a lot . You are amazingly fearless , silly when to comes to simple things , a food lover......You have a weird combination of EQ and IQ in you...Maybe....this is what makes me so curious to know more about you . No , this is what makes me trust that you are different from the other people out there . You are someone whom I can trust . "said Helios with a sincere smile .
Aria looked at Helios a bit touched . She was usually a loner girl who was only focused on her studies . She didn\'t go out much nor did she understand how to make others trust her . In the past , because of her weird , childish character, others would misunderstand her . To have a person like Helios who was both rich and successful , trust her , made Aria feel happy and more confident .
" I hate to admit it but it feels good to hear this from you . " said Aria with a smile .
When Helios saw her smiling at him with a happy expression and a warm smile , he couldn\'t help himself from leaning towards her .
" What a nice smile ! " said Helios looking at her with a smile .
Aria was surprised when she noticed how close their faces were . She felt her body frozen from his deep blue eyes . Aria couldn\'t move an inch . His eyes were so captivating and had casten a spell on her . Making her unable to look away nor to push Helios .
He looked at her brown chocolate eyes then took a glimpse at her cherry-colored lips .
\' She isn\'t pushing me away..... \' thought Helios a bit happy .
\' I miss that strawberry taste of her lips... \' thought Helios as he softly touched her hair and her cheek .
He looked at her lips again and was ready to kiss her . Both of them closed their eyes without even realizing it themselves and went with the flow .
The moment their lips were about to touch , a noise came from out and the door opened .
" I wonder what\'s gotten into him calling us today here . Helios may have finished his work but I still have a project going on . What should I say to the investor if it isn\'t finished soon ?! You know that this is a big project that could benefit us....a lot..." said Bekora then froze when he saw Helios and Aria .
Mana found it weird that Bekora froze and stopped talking . When she went closer to him , she saw Helios pushing Aria against the wall .
When Aria saw Bekora and Mana , her face became red and she pushed Helios away with full force .Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
\' What the hell were you about to do Aria ?!!!!! Were you about to kiss that blonde donkey ?!!!.....Aghhhh !!! This can\'t be happening . His eyes indeed have a rare blue color but that doesn\'t mean that you should lose yourself like that . I am so embarrassed !!!! I wish I could hide somewhere !......How can I be like those other girls ?! How can I give in like this to that playboy ?!!!! Luckily Bekora came and saved me from the grave sin I was about to do . Now he will even get punished for saving me . That blonde donkey is heartless............Damn ! I am so embarrassed that I wanna go home . \' thought Aria embarrassed .
( Author\'s thought : LOL !!! Girl , if we were to count the times he has kissed you without you even realizing it......Pfffft ! I was really looking forward to seeing the two of you kiss while you both were aware of each other . )
Her face was so embarrassed that she turned her back and started to act as if she was looking at the computer . When Aria pushed him , Helios smiled in a forced way and turned his head towards Bekora .
\' Fuck that big project of yours , you damn Bekora ! Why can\'t you just find a better timing for once in your life ?! \' thought Helios super annoyed as he glared at him .
( Author\'s thought : Bekora , I too love you my dear but even I can\'t help you in this case . You ruined a moment that even I was eagerly awaiting for . No begging can help you from my and Helios\'s anger . )
\' Oh , my ! Bekora actually interrupted them ?!.....Helios will definitely kill him . Creating a mood with Aria sure is hard . Now that he ruined it , he will be tortured rather mercilessly . \' thought Mana who couldn\'t even bring herself to laugh at such a sight .
" Emmmm.....We were about to leave.......Did I come in a bad time ? " said Bekora with an awkward smile as the atmosphere kept getting more and more awkward .
" No , you came at the right time , my bro ! The gun that I newly purchased just arrived and you will have the honor to taste it first . " said Helios with a murderous aura around him .
\' Yeeeekkkkkk !!!!! \' Bekora\'s expression went pale from fear .
" Mana ! Help me ! " whispered Bekora begging for help .
" Haaaaaa.....I told you not to hurry . Anyway , if you die , I promise , I will prepare a nice ceremony in your honor . I will also cover the expenses . R. I.P my dear ! " whispered Mana back as she patted his shoulder .
" I am still young...Helios..... " said Bekora with a pleading tone .
" Thankfully you are young ! Your bones won\'t break by a little practice . You will only end up having some bruises all over . " said Helios as he clenched his fists becoming ready to kick Bekora\'s ass .
" D....D....D......D....Didn\'t we come here because you had something important to tell us ?!!!.....How about we take care of the important issue first ? " said Bekora .
" Mana , you and miss little tigress over here can drink or eat something while I teach this idiot how to use the gun . " said Helios with a smile .
\' It\'s gonna be a painful lesson if he smiles like that . \' thought Mana who couldn\'t bear herself to laugh because Helios never joked when he was in a bad mood .
" No , no , no , no ! Helios , I am sorry bro ! I swear , I really didn\'t mean it . It was accidental . " said Bekora with a crying expression .
" You should have listened to Mana more if you didn\'t want to suffer . " said Helios and grabbed him by his shirt .
He walked towards the practice room as he pulled Bekora like a chicken who was ready to be cooked .
" Haaaa....Men , in this family, can never grow . " said Mana with a helpless breath .
She looked at Aria who was still acting as if she was checking the computers .
\' Although I can\'t see her face , seeing how frozen her body is right now , I can tell that she is really nervous and embarrassed . \' thought Mana .
She went near her and touched her shoulder in a friendly way .
" I apologize in that idiot\'s name . " said Mana .
" ...I.....It\'s alright !....There\'s nothing to apologize for in the first place . " said Aria with an awkward tone of voice .
" But still........you two are really are quite impatient . This is a secret working room . " said Mana .
" What are you saying ?! It was he who.... " said Aria then her cheeks blushed even more .
" Okay , I get it ! Wanna talk about this over some cookies and frappuccino ? " said Mana with a smile .
\' There\' no way I will allow you to close the subject like that . It\'s your bad luck that I am a gossip lover . \' thought Mana with a smile .
" Do you have frappuccino here ? " asked Aria .
" Yes ! " said Mana .
\' I wondered why Helios lately installed a frappuccino machine in this secret basement but now I can see why . \' thought Mana with a sneaky smirk .
" I really need a frappuccino to restore my energy and calm down . " said Aria .
" Sure ! Take your time and relax while sharing your problem with me . We have at least two hours before those two troublemakers get out of that practice room . " said Mana with a shiny smile .
