Chapter 60 - Working All Day
" How boring ! I thought we could go for some shopping today ! Since Aria is busy , I will go and review my winter draft . " said Mana and left Helios's office .
" She doesn't look like someone who was kidnapped yesterday . " said Helios while looking at the file he had in his hand .
" That's Mana ! Have you learned anything about the people who kidnapped her ? " said Bekora with a smile .
" I told Ramolo to investigate and he will send the information tonight . After I receive it I will send it to you . I know you wanna deal with this matter on your own . " said Helios looking at Bekora .
" Thanks ! " said Bekora with a smirk and then his phone rang . It was from the company .
" It looks like all of us are busy today . I will go and deal with my work now , see ya later bro ! " said Bekora waving at Helios .
" Sure see ya ! " said Helios and Bekora left .
Helios started to work on his computer and files . He was so absorbed in his work that he didn't even notice he had skipped lunch time . Helios was planning to continue working but a knock on the door made him stop .
" Enter ! " said Helios .
When the door opened there was a maid who was holding a cup of black royal coffee and a light snack .
" Your Highness ! Her Majesty knew that you skipped lunch because you were working so she ordered me to serve your lunch in your office . Her Majesty thought that you needed a light lunch with a cup of black royal coffee . " said the maid and put Helios's lunch to his desk where he was working .
" Am I the only one who wasn't present for lunch ? " asked Helios while looking at the statistics .
" No , Your Highness ! Her Highness , princess Mana and sir Bekora also skipped lunch . The both of them had their lunch on their office . The queen ate alone today . " said the maid .
" What about miss Aria ? " asked Helios a bit surprised that his grandma ate without her .
" Miss Aria is still at the library working . When I went to deliver her lunch she didn't even touch it cause she was too focused on the books . She only drank the frappucino that sir Bekora ordered for her . " said the maid .
" When did Bekora meet with Aria ? "
" Hal an hour ago Your Highness but they didn't talk much as miss Aria was too focused on her work." said the maid .
" Okay , you may leave now ! " said Helios and the maid bowed then left .
Helios decided to take a little break and eat the salad with tomatoes . After finishing the salad he ate two of the biscuits that were covered with honey and kept thinking about how strange it was that Aria hadn't eaten anything .
' She didn't eat the food but she drank Bekora's frappucino . Is she insinuating that the food in the royal palace isn't comparable to a frappucino ?!...what I have learned about her these days is that she would never skip a meal , under no circumstance ! Is she really focused on her job this much ?! ' thought Helios a bit annoyed .
His computer suddenly made a noise which disturbed Helios's thoughts . He realised that the break was over and had to get back to work . A lot of things were waiting for him to be solved them .
' I have a lot of work left to do ! Guess I will have to eat dinner at my office too . I will go and take a look at what she's doing when I finish . ' thought Helios and continued to look at the files .
Queen Margrethe was also busy with the organisation of Klara's birthday party . She was taking care of everything , of the decorations , of the menu , of her dress and the invitations too . When dinner time came , the maid told the queen that dinner was served . Queen Margrethe didn't even understand how time flew by and it was already dinner time .
" Make sure to call Mana , Helios , Bekora ! " said the queen .
" Your Majesty , princess Mana and sir Bekora came . They are waiting for you at the dining hall . " said the maid with a smile .
" Very well ! What about Helios ? " asked the queen .
" His Highness said that he was still working and would take his dinner in the office . " said the maid .
" Okay ! Make sure to bring his dinner as fast as possible . " said queen Margrethe and went to the dining hall .
When the doors opened , she saw that Bekora and Mana were waiting for her .
" Grandma , we were waiting for you . " said Mana with a smile .
Queen Margrethe rushed towards Mana and hugged her tightly . She forgot the formalities and was only focused on hugging her dear granddaughter who had gone through a harsh time .
" It's so good to see that you're fine ! My dear granddaughter ! I was so worried yesterday and I wanted to come see you but I couldn't due to the state's affairs . " said Queen Margrethe .
" I understand grandma ! Don't worry I'm completely fine ! Plus brother Helios and Bekora said that they would make them pay the price . " said Mana with a polite tone .
" That's a must ! I want you to make a hell out of them ! " said the queen looking at Bekora who nodded in sign of agreement .
The three of them sat down and started to eat after the maids had served the dishes .
" Bekora , does the company have any issues recently ? " asked the queen with a serious tone .
" No grandma ! " said Bekora a bit nervously .
" Then why is Helios working so hard lately ?! Since he came to Denmark he hasn't spent more than two hour out of his office ! " said queen Margrethe in a doubtful tone .
" No .., that's not it grandma..." said Bekora more nervous .
' How in the world could I tell you that he has decided to build three other companies in different countries to expand his power and influence just because Aria didn't recognize him when she saw him ?! He thought that maybe he wasn't influential enough and came to such an extreme decision ! That's to crazy no matter how you look at it !!!! ' thought Bekora when he remembered the discussion they had after meeting Aria . Helios was surprised that his name wasn't known enough and decided to expand the company by building three others abroad . Bekora tried to make his realize that it was a waste but a prince with a super golden spoon like him doesn't listen to anyone once he decides on something .
" We are dealing with some new projects but nothing more . Helios is wants to supervise them on his own since the last incident with the R&B company . We lost a few clients cause of it and now that our reputation got on the right track other projects offered a collaboration with us . I should say that it was all thanks to Aria . " said Bekora .
" Yeah ! I have noticed that she is smart ! I also have noticed ghat Helios is getting closer to her . " said queen Margrethe while batting an eye .
" More than close I would say that they like to fight each time they meet . I personally blame Helios for being such an arrogant jerk in the first place , Aria is innocent . " said Mana with a non caring tone .
" I dare you say that directly to his face ! " said Bekora with a naughty expression .
" No , you must be joking ! I am not that stupid to throw away my life so young . I have yet to meet my prince charming ! " said Mana with dreamy eyes when she thought about the prince charming .
" I am starting to pity your so called prince charming ! You don't even know how to cook . Haven't you heard the phrase that the best way to win a boy's heart goes through his stomach . He will have a hard time with a spoiled royal princess like you ,poor prince . " said Bekora with a teasing tone .
" I may not know how to cook but I am very good at sewing . If you don't shut that mouth of yours then I wouldn't mind sewing those pretty lips . " said Mana with a threatening smile and Bekora with the queen laughed .
Helios finished the dinner that the maid brought and then returned to his last file . It had been a very tiring day for him with all the files he looked through . Helios worked for three more hours and after finishing the last file it was finally time to rest for another three or four days .
" Finally this is finished too ! " said Helios and looked outside of the window . His eyes immediately went towards the library's direction . The library's lights were still on and there were two more guards guarding the entrance.
' It seems like grandma is trying to prevent suspicious people from entering there . ' thought Helios while looking at the guard's .
' I wonder if she's still working ?! It is so late and the lights are still on ! Since I have finished I'll go and take a look at her ! ' thought Helios and then left the office .
