Chapter 17 - She kept her promise (1/2)

It still took three minutes before the seance could begin . Bekora was hardly keeping himself from panicking. He started to even sweat. Just the thought of Aria not coming was stressing him out .

”Bekora you're overreacting bro ! ” said Helios through the headphones that Bekora had worn . He wanted to know all that was going on and even register it so he ordered for small cameras to be put on the guard and on Bekora .

”It's easy for you to say ! You're comfortable staying in your office while I have to deal with your company problems . You owe me a prime star luxurious vacation for all this pressure ! ” said Bekora anxiously .

Helios kept a cool expression but he was feeling the same way Bekora was . This seance started to sound like a bingo game where the winner can only be determined by fate .

The uneasiness didn't miss in him but he felt some kind of security when he thought of Aria . Even though he didn't believe it even himself , he trusted that Aria would arrive any time soon and this whole thing would end in their favor .

”Your honor ! We are here waiting for some time now but mr Bekora's lawyer didn't even bother to show up . This is not a fitting behavior for a lawyer ! It's useless to continue waiting, so I would suggest to continue on . ” said mr Ben .

Bekora looked at mr Ben with hateful eyes . He wanted to kill him but then looked at the prosecutor . He didn't quite understand what his expression meant but he noticed that the prosecutor refused while moving his head in sign of disagreement.

”There's still three minutes ! If your lawyer doesn't show up mr Bekora then I will continue with the seance in priority to ms Karen . ” said the prosecutor in a serious tone .

”Yes you're honor ! ” said Bekora and then looked at ms Karen with hateful eyes .

Ms Karen and mr Ben were smiling at each other with an evil grin . The situation was in their favor so it was pretty normal for them to be like that . Bekora looked at the door . The only thing he desired right now was Aria's appearance.

The silently pressure that occupied the atmosphere was interrupted again by me Ben .

” I never thought that mr Helios's choice of a lawyer would be so irresponsible . Are you sure your lawyer knows her job ?! ” said mr Ben with an evil smirk .

Bekora was about to explode from anger but in that moment a voice spoke and it was Aria .

”Oh , my ! I apologize for being irresponsible but I can assure you that my I know my job quite well in comparison to others. Never judge the appearance, it may mislead you badly. ” said Aria with a smirk .

Mr Ben remained without an answer and this angered him . Bekora enjoyed mr Ben's expression a lot . Then he looked at Aria . Aria winked at Bekora and headed toward her seat .

”I arrived your honor ! I am Aria Sarehan the lawyer of Kastijo corporation's CEO .” said Aria and then took her bag on the table . She opened the bag and was about to open the files .

”You are late and this is really unacceptable miss Aria . ” said mr Ben the lawyer of ms Karen , Helios's aunt .

”Mr Ben ! Should I help you with a napkin so that you can clean your glasses and look at the time . If you came five minutes early then that's your issue but I came in time so I am not wrong . ” said Aria and then faced the prosecutor .

The prosecutor saw Aria with doubt . She seemed too young and to be able to deal with such an important case that concerns one of the most powerful companies .

Mister Ben was ready to speak again but just one look from the prosecutor made him shut up .

”We shall begin with the first court seance between mr Helios and his aunt miss Karen . Let the trial begin . We shall start with miss Karen first . Mr Ben you have the word . ” said the prosecutor and looked at Aria who was calmly watching. He liked the fact that she didn't make a fuss even thought he gave the rights to speak first to mr Ben . In stead she nodded politely and in a respectful way . Aria then seat near Bekora while mr Ben was preparing the files he would present.

”Thank god you arrived in time . Thanks . ” whispered Bekora .
