Chapter 14 - The doc.u.ments got stolen (2/2)

”Please Aria !” said Bekora.

”What's going on ?” asked Helios and Mana at the same time .

”The files that Aria found last time are missing. Without those proofs we cannot go to court or we will lose . The law department has looked everywhere for them but can't find them . They .....suspect someone may have stolen them .” said Bekora looking at the ground and lowering his voice at the end .

Helios was about to explode from anger but kept himself under control. Mana was terrified by Helios's look right now .

”I am sorry but I really can't help . I have to go and I am already running late .” said Aria and extended her hand waiting for Bekora to give her the usb . He realized that it was useless to try convincing her so he gave up and was ready to give her the usb .

”Wait !” said Helios and took the usb from Bekora's hand . Aria remained surprised at how he treated him . She thought that Helios should show respect to Bekora since he was his superior but instead he acts as if he is the boss . They started to be a bit suspicious in her eyes .

Helios understood that what she was thinking . He looked at Mana and Bekora .

”Apart from Aria , the others , please leave . ” said Helios in a serious tone .

Bekora and Mana went out without saying anything to defy Helios . The hall was left in a quiet atmosphere. Aria and Helios kept looking at each other .

”You aren't just a simple worker here , are you ? ” asked Aria looking straight at Helios .

”Maybe !” said Helios and went towards Aria with slow steps . The more he approached her the more she walked backwards to distance herself from him .

”I will tell you who I am if you help us .” said Helios , continuing to approach Aria .

”Why would I care to know who you are ? As long as you don't interfere with my job then I don't care at all . ”

In these words Helios noticed that Aria must have faced some trouble in finding jobs even though her academic performance is outstanding .

”We had a deal , remember ?! ” said Helios .

”I remember and I never go back on my word but today is impossible . In the deal we clearly said that I would help you win the case but not particularly participate in it myself, furthermore I have my own things to take care of too . ” said Aria in a strict voice .

”Fulfill your promise first !” said Helios.

”In terms of fulfillment I have done more than enough but it's your department's fault who cannot protects the evidences well !”

Helios kept drawing near and Aria kept distancing herself till there was nothing except the wall behind her . Helios blocked Aria's way with his arm and looked straight in her deep brown eyes which's color resembled that of a caramel chocolate . Aria also looked straight in Helios's blue eyes which resembled the sea and the sky . She thought that they were like blue clear diamonds stuck in his flesh .

”What is so important that you refuse to help us so much ? Is it a date ?” asked Helios a bit angry which ruined the nice atmosphere that was created a few seconds ago .

”Is dating the only think your brain is capable of thinking ?!! ” said Aria in an annoyed tone while sighting.
