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 .
\' 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 .
