Chapter 61 - Im looking for a book (1/2)
After locking his office , Helios went outside . He walked for a bit till he arrived at the entrance of the library . When seeing him the guards bowed and cleared the path for him to pass . The guard who he met earlier was still in front of the door . With just a glance from Helios he understood that he had to leave and open the door for the prince .
The guard left quietly after opening the door . When Helios entered in he saw that Aria was still reading . The pile of books that he saw in the morning had become twice as big , the white board was filled with notes and different files were prepared .
' She looks childish but she does a really good job ! ' thought Helios when seeing how much she was able to do within a day .
Aria was so focused on the book that she had forgot to eat both lunch and dinner . Helios saw that the plates were left untouched on the table .
' Now I understand why she fainted after closing our case at the court's entrance , she barely eats anything when she is focused on her job . ' thought Helios when seeing her write on a paper .
” You sure have worked hard ! ” said Helios .
Aria realized that Helios was in the library only after hearing his voice .
” You ?! What are you doing here ?! ” asked Aria surprised .
” Look at your food ! It's cold now only because you didn't eat in time ! ” said Helios avoiding Aria's question .
Even he himself didn't want to admit that that he was a bit worried about her .
” If you didn't mention it , I would have forgotten about it . ” said Aria when looking at the food .
In that moment her stomach started to grumble which embarrassed Aria a little . Helios laughed at her cute expression and stomach noise . The more he laughed , the more she wanted to hide herself from embarrassment .
' Why now ?! ' thought Aria to herself while her stomach continued to make noise .
” It seems like your stomach is reminding you that he's hungry . ” said Helios .
Aria sat down and started to eat . Helios also sat in front of her and looking at her with a smirk .
” What are you doing ? ” said Aria when she saw that he was looking at her with an interrogative look in his eyes .
” I was just wondering why you're a bit chubby and not fat with how much you eat . You must have a good metabolism . I bet you must have been a fat baby girl when you were born . ” said Helios with a laugh .
” You....really ! I was....now I'm not....Can't you just shut up and stay quiet ?! Don't you have anything to do ?! Why have you come here ? ” said Aria annoyed .
” I was staying quiet . You were the one who asked me what I was doing so I answered . ” said Helios with a smile .
” This blonde donkey ! ” murmured Aria annoyed that she couldn't talk back .
” What do you want here ? ” asked Aria .
” I am here because I need a book . After I find it I will go back . ” said Heios .
” Really ?! I will gladly help you find it . If we search together we will find it faster then you can go and finish your own work . It's not good to leave the work unfinished . ” said Aria with a super happy expression .
' She repeated the word ' finish ' so many times and her big smile , convinces me that she is trying to get me out of here as fast as possible . ' thought Helios .
” Wow , thaks beforehand for the help . Unfortunately I forgot the name of the book I was searching for . ” said Helios with an innocent voice .
” Are you kidding me ?! Who forgets the name of the book he needs to work with ?! ” asked Aria a bit shocked .
” I just forgot it's name but haven't forgotten the book's cover . ” said Helios with a proud tone .
” I should say that the fact that you remember the cover it isn't something to feel proud of . ” said Aria with an emotionless face which made Helios laugh a little .
” I really wonder who's short sighted enought to hire someone like you ?! ” said Aria annoyed when she saw him laughing .
” Oh now that you're telling me ! The both of us have an agreement . Today is the last day ! Have you figured up what my job is ? ” asked Helios seating comfortably while waiting for Aria to finish her food .
” Being a nuisance to me ! ” said Aria with a non caring tone .
” Are you serious ?! ” asked Helios a bit startled from her reply .
