Chapter 138 - Extra work (1/2)

” Yes.....there were no red ones so I took the blue ones . No.....I mean the red roses were the only ones left....so I took them . ” said Aria .

' She really is a terrible liar ! ' thought Helios with a light laugh .

' Oh please , elevator ! Arrive at the top floor fast , this guy is just too scary ! ' thought Aria troubled .

After a few minutes, they arrived at the top floor .

” I will go to work now president , have a nice day ! ” said Aria and rushed out of the elevator towards her office .

Helios went out and headed towards his office . When he opened the door he saw that Alan was waiting for him in his office .

” Bro good morning ! ” said Alan with a smile .

” Morning ! ” said Helios with a grumpy tone .

Alan felt a chill when Helios passed through him and went towards his working table .

” ...Bro , everything alright ?! ” asked Alan .

” Nothing ! Prepare the files , we are heading to the meeting with the American ambassadors . ” said Helios and glanced at Aria who had a relieved and dreamy expression while looking at the roses , then got up from his seat after taking the doc.u.ments needed for the meeting .

” Yes ! ” said Alan who fastly prepared the files .

” How many files are left to be reorganized ? ” asked Helios while glancing at Aria again .

” Thanks to Aria's speed in doing this , there are only seven hundred files left . The archives staff is taking care of reorganizing them . They managed to finish a hundred files yesterday ” said Alan .

” I bet the archive staff must be tired , they deserve a break ! Seeing that miss little tigress doesn't have anything better to do , send them to her and tell the staff of the archives to take care of tidying up the place where the files will be placed . ” said Helios with a devilish smirk .

' His bad mood is most likely related to Aria . I don't have the heart to tell her that she has to reorganize another six hundred files . ' thought Alan , feeling pity towards Aria .

” Go tell her now , then we can leave for the meeting . ” said Helios with a devilish smirk .

' Why must I be the one to deliver such a news to her ?! ' thought Alan and forced himself to nod with a smile .

He went out of Helios office and headed towards Aria's office .

In the meanwhile , Aria was looking at the flowers with a dreamy look .

' Such gorgeous flowers ! Such a beautiful shape ! Such a nice aroma.....I bet it will make a very delicious rose-flavored cake......There are so many roses in this giant bouquet...I will use half of them for a very relaxing bath.....Just the thought makes me feel so happy . Florence was so kind to get me such a nice present . It was a nice morning , if I don't include the meeting with the grumpy president.....Anyway , fortunately I was able to escape from him on time . I wonder why was he so mad ?!...Maybe there was something wrong with work ?! ' thought Aria and looked at the bouquet again with a happy expression .

The door knocked and Alan came in .

' Looking at his expression , that grumpy president must have frightened the poor guy to look pale like this . ' thought Aria when she saw Alan's anxious expression .

” Good morning Alan ! ” said Aria with a smile .

” Morning Aria ! What beautiful flowers ! ” said Alan .

” Thanks ! They're a gift from a friend of mine I met before coming to work . Don't tell that grumpy president ! I lied to him and told him that I personally bought these roses . ” said Aria with a serious look .

” Grumpy president ?! ” asked Alan .

” Yeah ! He's been in a very bad mood all since when I saw him at the entrance . To avoid more unnecessary talk with him, I lied saying I bought the flowers . ” said Aria .

” Why did you lie ? It's not forbidden to bring roses or flowers in the company .” said Alan .

” I am pretty sure that you're aware of that guy's trusting issues which are quite serious . I am pretty sure that if I told him a friend gave these flowers to me as a gift , he would order people to check if there are any cameras placed inside . ” said Aria with a serious tone .

” I agree that he overreacts when it comes to trysting issues but believe me Aria , he is right to act this way . It hasn't been easy for him .” said Alan with a serious tone .

” What do you mean Alan ?! ” asked Aria curious .

” I am sorry but this is confidential information . You can ask the president himself . If Helios wishes to share it with you , he will tell you everything . ” said Alan with a smile .

” I see...okay . Why did you come Alan ?! said Aria with a smile .

' From what Alan said , that donkey must have been through something...I wonder how serious it was that he still has trust problems . ' thought Aria concerned .

” He ordered me to tell you that there're still six hundred files left to be reorganized . The staff will send the boxes in your office . Now there's an important meeting which I have to attend with the president . Have a good day Aria ! ” said Alan and hurried to go out of Aria's office without waiting for her to answer .

' I am sorry Aria but I really am afraid of him giving me extra work . ' thought Alan .

' You.....damn...Blonde Donkey...Bastard.....Jerk ! ' thought Aria super angry .

” Overworking someone just because you enjoy it is illegal ! I really hope that you meeting fails ! ” said Aria in a very angry tone .

Helios was looking at her from the window and enjoying her angry expression .

' Hahahaha ! It looks like you didn't enjoy my second task that much ! Don't worry my dear little tigress you'll like the third task a lot more . ' thought Helios with a devilish smirk .
