Chapter 163 - Not Alone
" So....about the project about the conserved milk....I have seen the sales my assistant brought me and the reviews f the buyers . The sales dropped when the people who bought this product said that it caused stomachache and fever to those who drank it.....In the beginning, we were able to win a lot of money from this product . I really don't know why things turned out this way . We have suffered a huge loss . " said mr Bob with a serious expression .
" Yeah ! We did lose a lot . My company is even having a lot of problems currently due to the low sales of this product . " said Helios with a serious expression .
" I am sorry for dragging you into this mess Helios . " said mr Bob with a troubled expression .
" Don't worry ! You're a friend of the family . " said Helios with a smirk .
' As soon as I get my hands on your shares in my dear aunt's company , I will take good care of you . ' thought Helios , forcing himself to smile .
' Hahaha ! Idiot brat ! Dropping your sales and losing a bit of money is worth it to make sure you lower your guard around me . That will give me the chance to get your shares on the Castejo company and get rid of you . ' thought mr Bob with a serious expression .
" I was thinking . what if we go to my office and look through the files . I am too old and maybe I have missed something while reading the files . " said mr Bob with a polite smile .
" Sure , let's check them again . " said Helios with a smile .
The maids came and started to clean the table when mr Bob raised his hand . He and Helios got up and went towards the door , to go to mr Bob's office .When they opened the door they saw a man in a formal suit .
" Master , there's an urgent matter that requests your presence . You need to come and take a look at it . " said the man in a formal suit .
" Can't you guys deal with it yourself ?! " said mr Bob annoyed .
" We are unable to make a decission . Please master , we need to deal with this situation now ! " said the man in a formal suit .
" We can look at the files later mr Bob . I am sure that your current matter is more important . i will wait for you . " said Helios with a smile .
" Ah...I am very sorry Helios but my subordinates are a bit lazy and incompetent lately . Even I don't know why . Since I will go to take care of this matter , I don't know how much time it will take so....you don't have to wait here . You can take the people you came with and look around the villa to your heart's content . " said mr Bob with a smile .
" Thank you mr Bob ! " said Helios .
" Have a good day Helios ! " said mr Bob with a polite tone then glared at the man in a formal suit and followed him . He went towards the door then left with the man in the formal suit .
' Looks like I won't have the chance to look through the things in his office . ' thought Helios with a serious expression then looked at the stairs and showed a smirk .
' Since I have nothing better to do today , I may as well play with that little tigress a bit . ' thought Helios with a smirk and went up the stairs then went to the stairs .
After arriving at the second floor , Helios knocked on Aria's door . The door didn't open even after he knocked for another two times , the door didn't open .
' What the....why isn't she opening it ?! ' thought Helios with a serious look on his face then decided to open the door by himself .
When he opened the door , he saw that Aden was looking at the tv and Aria was nowhere to be seen .
" Aden ?! Where's your sister ? " asked Helios .
" Dada ?! Ada ?! " said Aden and raised his arm up and pointed at the bathroom's door .
When Helios looked closely , he heard the sound of the water running and sighed in a relieved way .
' ....She's just taking a shower . For a second I thought that maybe something had happened to her . I need to solve this quickly !........When we go back , I will make sure that she gets trained to , at least be able to protect herself . Mr Bob is vicious but I cannot do anything . I need to use her as a bait to lure him towards me . ' thought Helios with a serious expression while waiting for Aria to get out of the bathroom .
He watched tv for half an hour and waited for Aria to finish her shower . The door of the bathroom opened . Helios started to hear someone singing and looked at the door .
" My dear.....listen to this song....let all go....don't think too much....just breathe.....say my name....I...Iiiiiiiii ?!!!!! " said Aria with a shocked tone when she saw Helios leisurely sitting on the couch and looking at her with a smirk .
" Not bad ! I didn't expect you to have a good ear for music . " said Helios with a smirk when he heard her singing .
" W....W....W...What are you doing in my room ?!!! This is violation of my privacy !! " said Aria with a surprised expression and rushed to cover her chest even though she had worn a bathrobe .
' Talking about privacy violation now ?!....Doesn't she think she's a bit late for that.....Looking at her expression it seems like she didn't notice a thing . This girl.....she really sleeps as deeply as a pig ! ' thought Helios and laughed a little when imagining Aria with a nose and pair of ears of a pig .
" I knocked on the door for three times in a row . You didn't respond and I thought that maybe something had happened so I opened the door......I was worried that something may have happened to you and rushed inside to check on you yet you don't see my good action and say that I violated your privacy . Why would I care for the privacy of someone who lives in a small apartment ?! You have nothing interesting there for me to look at . You should feel honored that I felt worried for you ! " said Helios with a serious expression .
" Really ?!....Sorry president for making you worried but no one asked you to feel worried about me . So...there's no reason for me to feel honored ! " said Aria with a serious tone , trying to keep herself from getting angry at him .
" Ungrateful little tigress who lives in an ant-sized apartment ! " said Helios with an annoyed tone .
" Ant...ant sized apartment ?! " asked Aria with a dumbfounded expression .
" The place where you live is really small , like an ant's house . " said Helios with a serious expression .
' His logic is really something.....small......ant-sized apartment....what does he mean by that ?! That's the normal size of a normal apartment for a normal person . ' thought Aria with a tired expression .
" We're not within working hours now , mr president ! " said Aria with an angry tone .
" Hmmm....true , so I shouldn't bother to protect you in this place . " said Helios with a grin .
" You !!! " said Aria angry then a thought came to her mind and she showed a smirk .
" Yes ! Since I am not within working hours , I don't need to be the bait in this crazy fight between you and that mr Bob . You can do it on your own ! " said Aria with a smile which annoyed Helios .
He got up from the couch and went towards Aria with an annoyed expression while walking near her . The nearer he walked the more she walked back till her back was faced against the wall .
" Dare to talk back ?! Do you think that I can't change my mind and tell someone else to come then abandon you here , at the mercy of mr Bob ?! " said Helios with a seriously annoyed expression .
" Heh !...Since you have so many people , then why did you take us , a girl who doesn't know how to fight and a boy diagnosed with autism here with you ?! We are nothing more than an extra burden for you on this mission yet you took us with you . I wonder why...?! " said Aria with a smirk then looked at Helios straight in his eyes .
" Oh...I think I may know the reason why...Currently , all the people that surround you , can't be trusted . Your only trusted people are currently trying to take care of those spies . You are alone now....without anyone who you can actually trust........The only option left is I , cause you are well aware that I won't betray you . Although I still don't know why you chose me to help you in this matter , I made a pact with you and I won't run away from you , but I hope that you could distance yourself a little . " said Aria with a serious look .
Helios was caught off guard when he heard Aria . The determination in her eyes , reassured him that he wasn't all alone in this wolves den .
