Chapter 116 - Opppsss ! (1/2)
Mana and Aria arrived at the new apartment within seven minutes . Mana realized that it wasn't that far from the royal palce . When the driver stopped the car , they got off the car . Aria kept holding Aden's hand and trying to keep him close to her . She looked at the apartment and thought that it was perfect . She had forgotten to tell Bekora about Aden's huge obsession with elevators and high places but luckily without even telling him , he had found a place on the second floor and without elevator . They building had three floors which were connected only by stairs .
' I feel so relieved in knowing that our apartment is on the second floor and that this building doesn't have an elevator . Lucky me ! ' said Aria with a relieved face .
” Are you okay Aria ? ” asked Mana when she realized that Aria was feeling relaxed for a second then looked restless .
” No nothing ! I am alright ! ” said Aria and smiled in a nervous way .
The driver went with them to deliver the luggages inside the apartment . After helping with the lugage , the driver looked at Mana . She made him a signal that told him to go and then he took his leave without disturbing them anymore .
” Okay , now that the lugages are here we can start unpacking . ” said Mana .
” Please don't bother yourself with stuff like this . You're my guest ! ” said Aria and took the luggage from Mana's hands .
” Oh come on ! We're friends ! ” said Mana .
” Precisely because we are friends that I don't wanna bother you with useless work like this . ” said Aria and started to unpack .
” Then what should I do ?! ” said Mana and started to look around .
” If you wish to help me then.....can you please look after Aden ?! I need to prepare the place for tonight . ” said Aria .
Mana looked at Aden and saw that he was playing with his IPad quietly .
” Sure , no problem ! ” said Mana with a smile .
Aria smiled and fastly unpacked the luggage . After finishing she went to the living room where Mana and Aden was . They were playing with their phones and staying quietly .
” Mana , I saw a supermarket near here . I am going to buy something then come . ” said Aria .
” Okay ! I'll be waiting here with Aden . ” said Mana and waved at her .
Aria smiled and took her wallet then went out . When she went at the entrance gate she realized that the gate was half broken because it opened with difficulty .
' Guess this door needs to be repaired . ' thought Aria after finally passing through it and then went on her way .
' I better go and buy some dishes at the restaurant . It would be better to buy them rather than make them . My mom has always told me that the kitchen is a forbidden place for me since I was never able to make food that can actually be eaten . ' thought Aria with a serious expression .
She looked around and noticed a restaurant nearby .
' Perfect ! Solved the food problem . ' thought Aria and entered the restaurant then bought the food .
It didn't take long and Aria arrived back to the apartment . When she came in holding five boxes which contained ready made food .
” Aria ?! ” asked Mana surprised when she saw her .
” I wasn't late , was I ?! ” said Aria and took the boxes with food on the table .
” No you weren't . I simply was surprised to see you holding already made food . Aren't you gonna cook ? ” asked Mana .
” I must confess that I am a total disaster when it comes to cooking . I have tried to learn cooking before but it was useless . ” said Aria with a serious expression .
” Really ?! You don't know hiw to cook ?! I don't believe that . ” said Mana with disbelief since she knew that Aria studied abroad for four years and she should have learned how to cook .
” It's the truth . While I lived in France I always took fast food or other thing which were ready at the supermarket .” said Aria .
” Why don't you try and cook again ?! Come on ! ” said Mana and Aria looked at her with a forced smile .
” Out of the question ! Each time I cook I either destroy the kitchen or end up developing a new poison . ” said Aria and took the plates out then started to wash them .
” Okay ! ” said Mana and didn't insist any longer when she saw Aria's expression .
” Mana , how about you watch some tv till I finish washing the dishes and mopping the floor ? ” said Aria while washing the dishes .
Mana nodded and went to the living room to watch tv with Aden . Aria finished washing the plates and started to mop the floor . While Aria was taking care of the chores Bekora was at the company , in Helios's office .
” This was the last file . Finally finished ! ” said Bekora relieved .
” I heard about the news of AN's family , great job bro ! ” said Helios with a smile .
” Hahahahaha ! I knew you would like it ! Our tastes are similiar when we take action . ” said Bekora with a laugh .
He put the files on Helios's desk and then looked at the time . He realized that he had to hurry and go to Aria's house .
” Since I finished my work , I better get going . ” said Bekora and took his coat .
” Where are you going ? ” asked Helios .
” I told you that Aria invited me for dinner . ” said Bekora .
Before Helios could speak , Bekora's phone ringed . He saw that Mana had written a message asking him to come soon .
” It seems like Mana is there too . ” said Bekora and started to write her back .
” Mana is there too ?! ” asked Helios .
