Chapter 28 - Depart (1/2)

It was already eight am when Aria had finished the work .

” It's already dark ! I hope to find a taxi ! ” said Aria to herself and then a car blocked her way . Aria remained surprised when she saw it .

A man with the look of a secretary came out of the car .

” Miss Aria , our boss ordered me to escort you home . ” said the secretary man .

Aria doubted a bit but then a text came and it was from Bekora .

' It's late so you better not go home walking . I called the driver to drive you home . Thanks for your help ! Good night ! '

That's what was written in the text .

Aria looked up at the company and thought that maybe not all bosses are as bad as they are described to be .

” Okay ! Thank you ! ” said Aria to the driver then went inside the car . The driver had really good driving skills . He avoided the traffic jam easily and Aria arrived home within two minutes .

When she entered the house she noticed the luggages that were put near the front door . Ace was the first to notice that Aria had arrived .

” You're home pretty late ! Was the work hard ? ” asked Ace .

” Well , there was a lot of work , to be exact , seven months of untouched files about the company's law and tech doc.u.ments . It was a bit hard that's why I am late . ” said Aria .

” And you finished all of it ?! Just expected from a workaholic like you .” said Ace and started laughing at the thought of the Vice President's reaction . He could easily imagine his expression.

” Ha ha ha ! Very funny ! ” said Aria with a dry smile .

” Come ! Mom has prepared a feast for you to eat . ” said Ace .

When hearing the word feast Aria's face showed a big smile and she went straight in the kitchen to eat . Ms Keith , Aria's mom had prepared a lot of dish such as french fraise , cake , strawberry fruit salad with vanilla , spaghetti and a frappuccino for drink .

” Mom I love you ! ” said Aria then went ahed to dig herself in her mom's delicious cooking .

” Glutton ! ” said Ace then went to his room .

After filling her stomach , Aria explained to her mother that they would depart tomorrow at three pm while she would depart after tomorrow due to work issues .

” I understand but .. daughter the two of us have always more like best friends than mother and daughter, you know ! Someone offered to help you call the best doctor for your brother and cover all the expenses of our trip including shopping . You must understand that no one does things like this for free .... Are you sure you haven't gotten in troubles ?! ” asked ms Keith worried .

Aria looked at her mother's eyes that were filled with worry and felt a heartache . She was always against Aria continuing her studies for advanced law and became a prosecutor. It was a luxurious job but also dangerous.

” Don't worry mom , I am completely fine ! You just focus on enjoying the trip and stop worried about thing that don't exist . ” said Aria while hugging her .
