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 .
