Chapter 139 - Blue Roses
Aria soon arrived at the company with her brother . While entering , Aden started to yell a bit . All the people looked towards her but Aria didn't give a damn and went climbing the stairs . Aden was affectionated with elevators in particular. She knew that if she took the elevator , she would have to stay in the elevator for the next six hours .
When Aria saw the stairs , they looked like they wouldn't end .
" Ah, Aden ! I am really tired and have a lot of work to finish . Why do you do this ?! Do you want to force me to climb the stairs and consider it as my gymnastics assignment for the day ?!! " said Aria tired .
Adem looked around then looked at Aria and the stairs .
".....I really am hopeless when it comes to you Aden . You should feel proud cause you and mom are the only people that can make me surrender easily . " said Aria with a helpless smile and took Aden's hand then they started to climb the stairs .
There were so many stairs until she reached the top floor . Aden climbed usually without showing any signs of tiredness . When Aria looked at him she remained shocked .
" Are you for real Aden ?!.....Normal human being would be worn out like me while you act as if twenty-five floors with stairs were nothing . We're brother and sister , I wonder how come you're so strong while I start to feel tired after three floors ?!!! " said Aria who feel that this difference was that unfair .
" Dada ! " said Aden who wasn't understanding Aria .
' My little prince is so cuteeee !!! ' thought Aria when looking at Aden .
" Okay , let's head to sister's office, shall we , my little prince ?! " said Aria with a smile . She was helpless in front of Aden's sweet facial expression . They walked for a bit more and arrived at Aria's office .
She opened the door and entered inside . Aden looked at the office confused when he saw all the boxes in the room .
" These boxes are important Aden . Inside there are some work papers which sister needs to look at. Do not play or touch them okay , sweetie ?! " said Aria and Aden nodded his head .
Aria opened his bag and gave him his IPad . Aden sat on the couch and started to play while Aria went to the desk and continued with her work . After two hours Aden began to feel sleepy .
' Luckily I took my coat today ! ' thought Aria and covered Aden with it after he fell asleep in the couch .
While Aria was taking care of Aden and the files , Helios had finished all the meetings he had today and was heading towards his office to get an important document that he had forgotten .
" We had a tiring day today bro ! I always wonder how you manage to deal with those foreigners ?! Seriously , you're really good at it . I never thought that your bad mood would get things done so smoothly , I can't believe I am saying this bro but it was good that you were in a bad mood . " said Alan with a happy smile .
" Hahaha ! I was thinking of how to deal with things in a peaceful way but since I was in a bad mood and those annoying geezers were blabbing nonsense , I couldn't stand them anymore . " said Helios with a smirk .
" I still remember their expressions clearly ! They were ready to wet their pants ! In the end, all the new contracts and meetings that you had to finish within two months ,were finished in one day . You can take the next two months off and rest a bit . Ramolo , Bekora and I can take care of the rest . " said Alan with smile .
" Why would I take break ?! True , I finished my work but it doesn't mean that I have to take a break. Better come here and look over the small matters with you guys rather than staying home and doing nothing all day . " said Helios with a serious tone .
" Bro , did you forget something ?! " said Alan .
" What ?! " asked Helios .
" The building project in the royal library . It's better you keep an eye on grandma and my dad to ensure that everything is alright . They have been acting very weird lately . " said Alan .
" Ramolo told me the same thing . He said that they were looking for something ." said Helios .
" Yeah ! Whatever it is , it must be important since grandma started the reconstruction of the library as soon as the minister of the environment was exposed . It's rather odd for grandma to take action immediately like this when it comes to the reconstruction of a building . Normally she would solve the financial problem first then deal with the other problems but this time she didn't . " said Alan with a serious expression .
" What are your thoughts on this matter Alan ? " asked Helios .
" If you ask me , I think she's trying to find something and wants to find it fast before someone else notices it . " said Alan with a serious look .
" You think so too ! Ramolo also thought like you . " said Helios .
" No wonder we're brothers . Anyway , I suggest you pay a bit more attention to them and try to learn the reason behind their odd behavior . " said Alan and opened the door of Helios's office .
" You're right ! " said Helios and entered inside .
When he sat on his chair he looked at the document then lifted his eyes towards Aria's direction and remained surprised .
' What's Aden doing here ?! ' thought Helios .
Aria got up from her chair and went towards Aden then covered him with her coat again because he had kicked it away while sleeping . After covering it , she kissed his cheek and continued the unfinished work .
' She's really something . She's willing to bear with the work and care for her little brother at the same time . What a stubborn girl ! ' thought Helios while looking at her .
Alan noticed that Helios was watching Aria with a serious look on his face . When Alan turned his head towards Aria he saw a young boy laying on the couch and sleeping .
" Who's that kid ?! " asked Alan a bit shocked , thinking that maybe he was Aria's son .
' No way , Aria looks too young to have a child . ' thought Alan .
" He's Aria's younger brother . His name is Aden . " said Helios .
" Her brother ?! Why has she taken him here ?! " said Alan .
" Her family isn't here and she's the only one who can take care of him....Let's go ! " said Helios with a smirk and left from the office with Alan following him from behind .
' It wasn't her son.....hyyyy.... ' thought Alan relieved .
The two of them went on the first floor and got into their own cars then headed towards their own home .On his way helios couldn't get Aria's image from his mind . He felt a bit guilty when he saw Aden laying on the couch and her working late again . When he arrived at his villa , the servants opened the door and greeted him with respect .
" Welcome , master ! " said the maids and servants .
" Who's in charge of the garden ? " said Helios with a calm tone .
" I am master ! " said the gardener .
" I want you to go immediately to the royal palace and gather the most beautiful , fresh and shiny blue roses you can find , make a big bouquet . The driver will take you there . Make sure you come within an hour and deliver the roses in my room . I wanna check them . " said Helios with an ordering tone .
' Blue roses ?!...That's quite an unusual request from the master . He always chooses red or yellow roses . ' thought the gardener and bowed his head then went with the driver .
The gardener made sure to hurry and just as Helios ordered him , he did everything fastly and came back within an hour . He climbed the stairs and went in Helios's room with the big bouquet of blue roses .
" Here master ! " said the gardener .
' Perfect ! ' thought Helios when he saw the roses .
" Good job ! Go and get your reward from the butler . " said Helios .
" Thank you master ! " said the gardener with a happy expression and went out of Helios's room .
Helios liked people who followed his orders correctly . He looked at the flowers and a warm smile showed on his face . Their fresh and nice smell was relaxing . Aria's face suddenly appeared when he touched the flowers . The thought of the night when they kissed came to mind . The soft blue petals reminded him of Aria's lips . So sweet , so fresh , so light , like the wings of a butterfly .
' Helios you're losing your mind..... I have never felt guilty after making a decision or ordering a punishment . I have never cared for other's opinions or feelings . For a heart as cold as mine , it's impossible to melt......I decided to end every kind of feeling I would have for outsiders yet I cannot shake you out of my head......why do you make me wave about my decisions....why do you keep appearing in my thoughts...........how did you manage to influence me with your naiveness...so much, to the point I even started to trust you....What have you done to me...Aria Sarehan....... ' thought Helios and kissed the petal he got from one of the roses .
