Chapter 159 - Be A Bait !
Helios looked at Aria\'s annoyed expression with a smirk .
" I suspect something so I asked Alan and Ramolo to look into it . They are busy investigating so neither of them could come with me . " said Helios .
" Then , what about Bekora ?! " asked Aria .
" Who do you think deals with the company when I am not there ?! " said Helios and Aria nodded her head in an understanding way .
" What about the lie that you told ?! That the company was in trouble . " said Aria with a serious look on her face .
" I suspect something ! " said Helios .
" About mr Bob ?! " asked Aria .
" Yes , that\'s the main reason why we arrived here . I wanna find what\'s wrong and if my suspicion is correct or not . If I had taken Bekora , Ramolo, or Alan with me , he would have started to suspect my visit so.....I decided to take you with me . " said Helios .
" To let their guard down ! " said Aria with an annoyed expression .
" Exactly ! You\'re impressing me with how smart you have become . " said Helios with a smile .
" When you\'re about to be used as a bait , your life will be in extreme danger . Of course , if you don\'t try to catch things fast , you\'ll die so I have to follow your speed.....if I wanna stay alive . " said Aria with a dejected tone .
" You make it sound like there\'s no room for rejection in this matter . " said Helios while looking at her .
" Is there ?! " said Aria with a serious expression .
" No , you\'re right ! There\'s no room for rejection . " said Helios and saw that Aria\'s expression changed into a pensive one .
" .....I am forced to cooperate so I have to do things according to your plan . This will surely put me in danger , right ?! " said Aria with a serious tone .
Helios nodded his head with a serious expression .
" If you do what I say , you won\'t have to worry too much about it . " said Helios .
" Do you think I am worried about myself ?! " said Aria with a serious tone that caught Helios off guard .
" Yeah ?! " said Helios .
" I am worried sick about my little brother ! You even declared him as an important person to you while talking with that.....mr Bob . " said Aria with an angry tone .
" Listen , I purposely declared him as an important person to me . That way mr Bob won\'t dare to lay a finger on him . Because he wouldn\'t want to be my enemy , with the current business market . " said Helios with a calm tone .
" Are you sure ?! " said Aria with a serious tone .
" Yes he\'s completely safe , don\'t worry ! " said Helios and smiled when he saw Aria\'s relieved expression .
" What kind of girl are you ?! Seriously ! I have never seen someone love their family members more than themselves . " said Helios with a gentle tone .
" I\'m just a normal girl with an abnormal love for her family . I was raised with the idea of the , cherishing family before anyone else . " said Aria with a smile and looked at Aden who was playing on the bed .
\' She always smiles in a warm and loving way every time she talks about her family . This kind of pure and sincere love is a luxury...royals can never experience , even if they do experience it , they need to be careful.....otherwise , a high price needs to be paid . \' thought Helios while looking at her with a sad yet strong smile .
" You still haven\'t told me about your movements ! " said Aria who suddenly remembered that Helios didn\'t tell her his plan .
" You just need to know that you will be the bait that will lower that guy\'s guard.....It\'s better you take a rest now . We will discuss your duty in this plan tomorrow . " said Helios with a calm smile which annoyed Aria to the core .
" You were lying when you told me that you trusted me !! " said Aria with an angry tone .
Helios remained slightly angry when he saw the heard Aria\'s words but at the same time he couldn\'t really blame her for thinking like that .
" No , I didn\'t . I would never tell other people , I trust them , lightly , not even as a joke ! " said Helios with a serious tone .
" Then....why ?! " said Aria confused .
" You are smart , a trustworthy and hardworking girl but you still remain too naive and bad at lying . I can\'t tell you because I am afraid you will be too stiff and the act will be exposed . I trust you but I cannot afford any risks on this mission . " said Helios with a serious look on his face .
Aria nodded her head and agreed with his words even though she didn\'t like them .
\' I can\'t disagree with him on this matter ! The fact that I am naive is a hindrance , not only to him but to me too . \' thought Aria with a tired expression .
" Can I ask you something ? " said Aria .
" Yes . " said Helios .
" Will I get a raise in my wage ? " said Aria .
" Judging from the situation which is quite dangerous , yes . You will get a raise ! " said Helios with a serious .
" How much ? " asked Aria with a dejected expression
" How about five times your current wage ?! " said Helios hoping to motivate her a bit .
" I want ten times my wage ! " said Aria still with a dejected tone .
" F...Fine ! " said Helios a bit surprised cause he wasn\'t used to seeing her dejected and lifeless .
The tired and worried expression on Aria\'s face was immediately noticed by him . Helios thought of saying something encouraging but Aria got up from the couch and looked at him straight in his eyes .
" Okay ! There\'s no use to worry over things that have already been decided ! Right ?! For the sake of my bonu...I mean , my handsome and hardworking boss , I shall do my best to make sure his plan succeeds , no matter what kind of danger I have to face . " said Aria with a motivated tone .
Helios remained surprised when he saw the sudden mood change of Aria .
" Weren\'t you complaining a lot a while ago ?! " asked Helios confused .
" Well , I was a bit startled by the sudden fact that I would serve as a bait . Now , that I know I will get a nice sum of money , I am very happy . " said Aria with a shiny smile .
Helios laughed a bit then got up from the couch and extended his hand towards Aria .
" Great ! We will discuss further tomorrow . " said Helios .
" Sure ! Bye president ! " said Aria with a smile .
" Good night ! " said Helios with a nice tone then opened the door and went outside .
\' If I had known that her mind would change so easily if I gave her a nice bonus , I would have done said so while we were still on the car....well....at least she\'s not that scared anymore . Since she will enter my team , she needs to get used with simple things like this . \' thought Helios with a smile then opened the door of his room and entered inside .
Aria was looking at the suitcases with a difficult expression .
" Aden , do you think that I should open the suitcase and put the clothes in the drawers ?! " said Aria while seriously thinking if she has to open it .
" Dada ! " said Aden with a neutral expression .
" Yeah , you\'re right ! I have to put the clothes in their places......Agrh ! I really feel too lazy to do this ! " said Aria and reluctantly opened the suitcase .
When she opened the suitcase she remained surprised to see that it was empty .
" Aden , where are all of our clothes ?!!! " said Aria with a startled expression .
" Daaadada ! " said Aden confused at why his sister was startled .
" The suitcase is empty ! Where are our clothes ?! " said Aria then looked at the suitcase again to confirm again that they were empty .
She looked around then her eyes caught a glimpse of a giant wardrobe . She went towards the wardrobe and opened it . When she opened it , she saw that the clothes were all nicely folded and hanged in the right place .
\' The maids must have put the clothes here.....for a minute I thought that we would remain without clothes . \' thought Aria with a relieved expression that she found the clothes and that they were already placed inside the wardrobe .
Aria was a hardworking girl but when it came to house chores , she was always very lazy . Before she closed the wardrobe , Aria noticed a shiny cloth .
" What is this ?! " said Aria and took the shiny cloth .
When she unfolded it , to her surprise , it was a nightdress made of silk and a night smock made of silk .
\' Wow , it\'s a cute , pink nightdress ! I always wanted to have some pajama made of silk . They must feel really comfortable on the skin.....but is this really mine ?! \' thought Aria .
She looked at her feet and noticed a white piece of paper . Aria took it and read it .
\'\'\'\'\'\'\'\'\'For miss Aria and the little Aden ! Hope you have a nice stay in my home ! Mr. Bob !\'\'\'\'\'\'\'
Aria closely again inside the wardrobe and noticed that there was another shiny cloth . When she took it , she saw that it was blue pajamas made of silk for children .
