BXBX NOVEL Chapter 158 - Tea
" This will be your room miss ! " said the sexy maid with a smile .
When Aria opened the door , she saw that the room had a double bed with , a giant tv , a working table with golden decorations, and a nice set of couches .
' This room is beautiful !......I would have enjoyed my staying here if I didn't know that we're meeting with a mafia leader . ' thought Aria .
" Thank you . " said Aria with a warm smile .
The maid nodded her head with politeness then looked at Helios .
" Sir , your room is there . If you'd like.....I can come and make some tea for you . " said the maid with a shy expression , indicating the room which was two doors away from Aria's room .
Helios looked at the maid with a naughty sight then agreed and followed her to his room . The moment he walked his first step , something pulled him from behind . When he turned his head , he saw that the person pulling him was Aria .
" President , you know which is your room ! Can you please come a second , I have something very important to discuss with you . " said Aria with a nervous smile . Helios chuckled a bit then looked at her .
" Can't it wait for later ?! I really wanna have some tea , right now . " said Helios with a serious tone .
" I will make it for you by using the tea making machine . Believe me , I wouldn't bother you if it's not important . " said Aria with a serious expression and a forced smile . When she opened the door she saw that there was a tea and coffee making machine on the desk .
' I am sure that she greatly misunderstood the ' tea-making idea '....Heh ! I know well you wouldn't bother me , unless there's something important to disscuss . You aren't like normal girls....which sometimes is a relief for me . ' thought Helios with a smile .
" Are you sure you can make tea ?! " asked Helios with a doubtful expression .
" No , I am confident that I can make tea cause I will mostly use the tea making machine . " said Aria .
" Really ?! " asked Helios when he remembered how she was able to deform the fruits and vegetables when she was cooking for him at his home .
' When I saw the shape of those fruits and vegetables , I hardly believe that even the machines can handle her clumsiness when it came to cooking . She doesn't even know how to cut fruits , let alone make tea . ' thought Helios with a serious expresssion , doubting that she could use the machines tea and coffee making machines the right way .
" Yes ! " said Aria with an annoyed tone , forcing herself to smile .
" Okay then ! " said Helios and turned towards the sexy maid .
" I will check my room and have tea later . " said Helios with a smile and the sexy maid nodded her head and winked at him .
' He will drink tea again ?!....He must like tea very much . Good thing I learned this ! Now , whenever he's angry I can make him a cup of tea and sneakily escape before he gives me extra work to do . ' thought Aria with a satisfied smile .
Helios looked at her and couldn't believe her expression .
' Why does she look so satisfied that the sexy maid left just now ?! Doesn't she like her ?!.....I really can't understand this ! ' thought Helios with a confused expression .
Helios followed Aria to her room . Aden was laying on the bed and had the tv remote while looking at the tv with an amazed expression . Both Aria and Helios laughed when they saw his expression then Aria turned the tv on and took it to the kid's channel . Helios sat down on the couch and looked at Aria who was putting the ingredients inside the tea making machine .
" You actually know how to use that , I am impressed . " said Helios .
" Are you for real ?! " said Aria with an angry expression .
" When seeing how the food deformed after you cut it , I think that my reaction is pretty normal . " said Helios with a serious expression .
" I don't wanna argue with you ! I have more important things to discuss with you . " said Aria .
" I am listening ! " said Helios .
When Aria was about to speak the machine rang , telling that the tea was ready . She went to the machine , took the tea, and poured it into three cups .
" How much sugar ? " asked Aria while taking the sugar packets .
" Two ! " said Helios .
Aria put two sugars in each cup then started to mix them with the spoon . After putting them in a tray , she went towards Helios who was sitting on the couch . She left the tray on the table and handed over a cup of tea to Helios then sat on the couch in front of him .
" You know how to use a tea making machine . " said Helios surprised when he saw that the tea was alright .
" When I was at my university in France , I used to make tea all day . Even without using the tea making machine , I know how to make tea and coffee . " said Aria with a smile .
" All day ?! You must really like it . " said Helios while drinking the tea .
" Rather than like it , it has become a habit of mine . I studied most of the time and while studying , taking notes or reading , I would always drink tea or coffee . " said Aria and remembered the days she spent in university .
Helios looked at her eyes and felt that it was better not to ask her more since she suddenly showed a melancholic smile .
" .......So , what was this important thing we had to talk about ?! " said Helios .
" Oh...right ! Why did you say that there was a serious problem with the company ?! I have reorganized most of the files in your company and even the files of this month , there was no such this as a great fall in the market . " said Aria with a serious expression looking straight at Helios's eyes .
" Just when I think that you're an airhead , you surprise me with that intelligence of yours . " said Helios with a smirk .
" An airhead ?! " said Aria with an angry tone .
" It was a compliment . " said Helios and drank a bit of tea .
" Why did you say that ?! " said Aria with a serious tone .
" There's no need for you to know now . " said Helios looking at her with a serious expression .
Aria realized from his expression that he was firm about his decision not to tell her anything but still she refused to enter this game without knowing the difficulties she would face .
" I want to know . " said Aria .
" I said that there's no need for you to know . I don't believe you in this matter . It's not something you can handle well . " said Helios .
" Why did you take me with you if you don't believe in me , then why did you take me with you here ?! " said Aria with an angry yet firm tone .
Helios remained silent and drank tea . Aria looked at him and then a thought came to mind . She stayed silent for a couple of seconds then spoke again .
" Are you planning to use me as a bait ?! That's why you aren't telling me anything . " said Aria with a calm expression .
Helios remained silent and peeked a bit at her expression . He expected her to be hurt , but to his surprise, she just had a serious and calm expression on her face . She just wanted to know what was really going on .
Aria took a deep breath and tried not to get angry with Helios then looked at him again .
" .....Look ! I don't wanna argue with you . Since I will be playing the role of bait in this war of yours , isn't it better if I know what I will face ?! " said Aria with a sincere expression which left Helios impressed .
" Aren't you angry ?! " said Helios with a calm tone .
" I am ! What kind of person would be calm after hearing that he's used as a bait in the war between a billionaire and a mafia leader ?! " said Aria with a sarcastic tone .
" You're right ! I didn't want to tell you cause I didn't expect that you would be that scared when you heard that he's a mafia boss . That was the only thing that ruined my plan . In order for it to work, I decided to keep quiet about it and follow the plan without your knowledge . But , as always, I forget that you're smart about serious matters . " said Helios with a serious tone .
" Good ! Since you confirmed it yourself , then I guess you will tell me all there is to know right . " said Aria with a serious tone .
" Sure ! I can't hide it now that you know your role in this mess . " said Helios with a smirk .
Aria looked at Helios with a satisfied expression and took the cup of tea on the table then drank a sip of it .
' To think that I would be used as a bait for a mafia leader one day.....unbelievable , life is really unexpected ! Thanks to this stupid donkey , I even became a bait !.....I knew there was something wrong with this trip.....and why he would take me and not Alan or Ramolo ! I knew it !....But since now I am here there's no turning back now....although I am really scared I must hang in there to get out of here alive . ' thought Aria with a dejected expression .
