BXBX NOVEL Chapter 130 - I Trust You
Aria happily , with the thought that Helios would soon try the taste of the coffee , soon arrived at the living room . Helios was sitting on the couch near the chimney with marble and gold decorations . He noticed that Aria had a calm expression and often looked at the cup on the tray in her hands .
" Here ! I hope that you enjoy the coffee this time . " said Aria with a smile and approached the tray near him .
' She's so gonna regret making that kind of coffee ! Luckily I kept one of the cup of coffees that she has been sending me . ' thought Helios with a calm grin .
When Aria approached the tray , Helios looked at her with a smirk .
" You know what ?! I would like to drink this while eating some cookies . Get me that box over there . " said Helios .
Aria put the tray on the table near the couch and went to get the cookies . Helios used this chance and fastly changed the cup on the tray with another cup that was at the table behind him . After taking the cup which was on the tray , he put it on the table that was near the couch in front of him . When he finished changing the cups , he showed a devilish smirk then looked at Aria who was coming towards him with the box of cookies in her hand .
" The cookies , here you go president . " said Aria with a smile .
" Thank you ! " said Helios and took the cookies then took the cup of coffee that was on the tray .
Helios drank a sip of it and Aria was eagerly awaiting his reaction but nothing was happening .
" I like this coffee , good job you finally managed to make it the way I like it . " said Helios with a satisfied smile .
' Satisfied ?! You serious ?! How come he has no reaction at all after drinking such a sour coffee . That kind of coffee was inedible , in any way possible . ' thought Aria shocked when seeing that he was all right .
" What's wrong ?! Why are you looking at me that ?! " said Helios in a calm tone .
He was very skilled in hiding his feelings , better say a great actor . Although he was calm on the outside , he couldn't keep himself from laughing on the inside . Aria still was confused about the situation now . She kept looking at his lips and saw that they were alright . Helios noticed that Aria was looking at him with a serious look in her eyes so he decided to drink the whole cup . Aria remained super shocked when she saw the empty cup .
" W...W...Was it edible ?! " asked Aria shocked .
" Yeah , it was tasty ! " said Helios with a smile .
' His smile is very weird...no.....his taste is very weird ! How can a normal human drink that kind of coffee so calmly ?! He must have some really unique taste . ' thought Aria still shocked .
Helios looked at her and smiled .
" You must be tired . Now that you finished preparing the coffee , take a seat . We can discuss the building project . " said Helios and pointed at the couch in front of him .
' What's wrong with him now ?! When he acts in a polite way it gives people the chills . Something bad is about to happen ! ' thought Aria and reluctantly did as he told .
Aria took her bag and sat on the couch in front of him . She thought that it was a bit unusual for him to tell in a polite and non-threatening tone to start discussing about work .
" You have coffee at the table beside you , if you want to drink . " said Helios with a smile .
" Where did you get this coffee ? " asked Aria .
" It's one of the coffees that you made . I didn't drink even a sip from it . I just thought of keeping it as a precaution , just in case . " said Helios .
" Just in case ?! " asked Aria with doubt .
" I think I know your temper well . I am surprised that you could keep calm till now and haven't cursed me . " said Helios .
' He's right ! My mom has always told me that I have zero patience with others . ' thought Aria with a serious expression .
"....Anyway , about the project , I read it at home . It's about the royal library's construction . " said Aria with a smile and opened her bag then she took the project .
" It seems like you've read it . You already know the previous situation of the What's your real opinion on it ?! Say whatever comes to your mind . I won't argue with you . I'll just listen . " said Helios .
' He's talking in such a serious tone . I find it really unbelievable that he's talking with me in such a way . He's neither asking for a fight nor acting like a jerk . He's seriously concerned about this matter . This project must be very important to him . Such an important matter....I wonder why he discusses it with me ?! Does this mean that he trust me despite the continuous fights that we have ?! Somehow....I am very curious about whether he believes me or not . ' thought Aria with a serious expression .
" I have an idea regarding this matter , although it may sound very weird . Before I say it....I just wanna ask you a question . " said Aria .
When he saw her serious expression he was a bit surprised about what she would ask him and nodded his head .
" Do.....you trust me ?! " asked Aria with a serious expression .
Helios looked at her . He was caught off guard with this question when he heard it .
' She's silly , hot-tempered and acts recklessly sometimes but I can't deny the fact that she's a very kindhearted person . She rescued Mana and Klara without thinking twice . Without her help my sister and cousin would still be missing . Unknowingly she did me a big favor but she still hates me a lot and goes as far as to kick me in my treasures without a second thought........I don't know why I can't get myself to hate her . I just wanna tease her and make fun of her naivety . Her naivety is what makes her so cute be so cute.....Do I trust her ?!...I don't think I need to ask myself this question anymore . She gives me a sense of security....' thought Helios with a smirk .
" Yes , I trust you . Although we have those arguments between us but I am sure that you would never betray our group . " said Helios with a smile .
" Our group ?! " asked Aria surprised .
" I will tell Mana to explain the situation to you . Still , I have to ask you , do you like adventures ? " said Helios with a serious tone and a smile .
" Adventures ?! " asked Aria confused .
" Facing dangerous things , dealing with important secrets , completing missions , discovering new things, and getting away from the boring routine ?! " said Helios in a calm tone .
The way they had ahead was full of things like this . It wouldn't be easy to fight against his enemies and he wanted to make sure whether Aria would be able to deal with these situations as a member of his group . If she wasn't ready then it would be better to not even begin this journey .
' Adevture ?! Danger ?! Important secrets ?! He's clearly telling me that there's more to this royal library than meets the eye . He's clearly warning me that it won't be easy to keep up with him and the group . I can't allow myself to be involved in dangerous stuff for the time being , yet I can't seem to look away from his eyes now . Now that I have left school , my dream to become someone important is even harder to achieve . I don't have many choices left.......This reminds me of the time when I first entered the royal hall of the meeting with the ministers . From the moment I stepped in that room , I realized that there was no turning back . It was as if something kept pulling me in . I often feel that if I don't break free soon , I will be eaten alive . Still, if I can get what I want , I don't mind doing a pact with the devil in front of me . ' thought Aria with a serious expression .
" If I say I like it . Will you help me achieve what I want ? " asked Aria in a serious tone .
' This girl catches fast ! She understood the true meaning of my words rather quickly . ' thought Helios with a smirk .
" Of course.... , if your willing to do a pact with me . I will ask you for the last time . Do you like 'adventure ' or not ? " asked Helios with a serious smile .
" I do , especially I will be getting what I want . " said Aria with a devilish smirk .
" Okay , then miss little tigress , shall we continue with our project . " said Helios with a calm tone .
" Can you please stop calling me little tigress ?! " said Aria a bit annoyed .
" No ! Despite you being part of the group miss little tigress , I still remain the boss and my word is definitive . If I say no then it's a no ! " said Helios and took his IPad .
' He's a jerk and blonde donkey of the first quality ! I shall bear with him since he's the main key to achieve what I want . ' thought Aria dejected and the cup of coffee beside her caught her eye .
She took the cup of coffee and decided to drink it . The moment she drank it , she spit it out with immense spead .
" Phtyyyyyyy......!!!!!!! Errrr.....pthy.....pthy...pthy...! This....this.....is..... " said Aria with a disgusted expression .
" The most important rule within the group miss little tigress it's to never play tricks on the boss , that's me . " said Helios with a devilish smirk .
