Chapter 18 - What I am want in exchange for my help is .. (1/2)
The court seance had begun . Mr Ben was explaining all the faults . Bekora was listening with worry . Everything that was being said was against them and even proved with doc.u.ments. He took a glimpse at Aria to see if she was worried too but to his surprise she was keeping her cool . Bekora remained amazed . They were receiving so much complains and she still acted as if it was just a minor case .
”Aria you sure are calm ! Does that mean that we actually have a chance to win this case ?! ” whispered Bekora .
”We don't only have a chance but we are going to win . ” whispered Aria and then looked at Bekora while nodding her head in a reassuring way .
Even though he had high doubts, Bekora still decided to listen to Aria . He believed that she surely had a solution to this situation.
”In addition your honor I would like to add the fact that mr Helios has stolen the new project plan that belonged to mrs Karen ,proposed by R&B's ceo , marking it as his own .” said mr Ben .
Mr Ben remained really satisfied when he saw Bekora's nervous expression but that satisfaction didn't last soon . He saw Aria who was smiling and then she whispered something in Bekora's ear . After hearing Aria's words,Bekora looked at mr Ben in a revengeful way . That made mr Ben wonder 'what were they plotting ' .
After thinking for a bit he thought of an idea .
”Your honor ! I introduced my client's main problem so I will gladly pass the word to miss Aria . She seems to want to speak in the favor of her client . ” said mr Ben with a gentle smile .
'Who is that snake trying to trick with that fake smile of his ?!' thought Bekora annoyed .
The prosecutor didn't say a thing and turned his sight towards Aria .
”I shall express my thanks for this possibility mr Ben but I will remain silent and listen to you till your turn ends . Since I arrived late according to you then I should do something to mend my mistake, no ?! ” said Aria with a gentle smile .
”Then you will continue mr Ben ! ” said the prosecutor.
”Yes your honor ! ” said mr Ben with a forced smile .
He wanted to discover their plot but it didn't work as planed so he continued from where he left . Mr Ben started to present the other complains . When hearing them Aria remembered the time she and her brother were recuperating the deleted files . All those files were proofs that now had been robbed. Although Aria had them but she didn't save all of the information that was discovered. Also the project problem had arisen suspicions to her . She didn't knew the exact reason why Bekora and Helios weren't telling her but with or without them telling her , she needed to find a solution in this mess .
'How can important people be so stupid ?!! I gave them the files and the proofs right in their hands and in the end someone stole it . That fool who couldn't even guard well a single file of ten papers only ! Now I have to clean up the mess again . In the beginning everything was in our advantage but with this project now it will be difficult to win , the chances are only forty percent. ' thought Aria with a worried expression.
After an hour and a half the prosecutor announced a break of twenty minutes. Mr Ben had finished all he wanted to say and now was Aria's turn .
Mr Ben's expression was irritating Bekora even more . If it weren't for the prosecutor who was there he would go ahead and strangle him .
He calmed himself for a few minutes,and then looked at Aria's expression , which was serious and nervous at the same time .
”What's wrong ? ” said Bekora worryingly.
”I am just wondering if I have a magnet that attracts fools . Nothing has went well for me since that stupid blonde donkey has appeared. ” said Aria sighting.
Bekora remained shocked and could hardly keep himself from laughing.
”Why do you say that ?” said Bekora .
” I personally gave him the most important file with only ten sheets in it and others robbed him . He surely must have hand it over leisurely as if it wasn't an important task . In the end he forgot where he put it and others took the advantage to steal it . I also wouldn't miss a chance like this if I was a burglar, it would be the same as refusing free gold . I don't think anyone can be as stupid as him , apart from donkeys . They are the stupidest creatures on the planet with the most short memory ever . If they didn't have eyes they would bump their head against the wall every thirty seconds . Seriously now we are in big trouble without that file . Apart from all this , now he wants me to find a solution. That blonde donkey ! I want to strangle him !!! ” said Aria angrily.
Bekora was covering his mouth with his hands , trying to keep himself from laughing .
Aria saw Bekora trembling while covering his mouth and thought that it was weird .
”What's wrong with you ? ” asked Aria .
” No , ..nothing ! ” said Bekora while holding his laughs .
' This is hilarious ! I can already imagine that prince's expression now .' thought Bekora .
”Are you done ?!” asked Aria with a serious tone .
” Yes ! ” said Bekora and then became serious.
