Chapter 255 - Grumpy Old Man (2/2)

” Aren't you the one who's supposed to plan the ' hang out ' ? ” said Helios .

” ...True !.....Hmmmmmm...What can we do ?....You mentioned that you have a cinema here . Shall we watch a movie ? ” said Aria .

” .....I would prefer something a bit more challenging . ” said Helios .

” Aaaaaa ! The....The boss wants things to get more challenging . ” said Aria with a devilish smirk .

” Yes ! ” said Helios getting closer to her .

” What's in for this game ? ” said Aria with a grin .

” I haven't decided it yet but....we will definitely put a prize . ” said Helios .

” Now , you are being logical . ” said Aria with a smirk .

” .....What do you propose ? ” asked Helios .

” You have a basketball yard in your giant garden . How about a match ? ” said Aria .

” Hmmm...is it a good idea ? ” asked Helios looking at Aria .

” What do you mean ? ” asked Aria .

” You are so short . Will you be able to catch up with me ? I am worried you won't . ” said Helios with a smirk looking at Aria's height .

” Pfffhhhh !.....So what ? Napoleon Bonaparte was short too but he ended up becoming a king . Instead of worrying about my height , you should worry about yourself . ;Aren't you afraid that you are gonna lose ? ” said Aria looking straight at his eyes .

” .....What makes you think that I will lose ? ” said Helios with a smirk walking near her .

” Because....once the gap between boss and ȧssistant disappears , I can kick your ȧss without any worry at all . You'll lose ! ” said Aria with a smile looking straight at Helios's blue eyes .

Their faces were really close but both of them had a challenging look on their face . Helios on the other hand was also attracted by Aria's fighting spirit .

” Okay ! It is decided . ” said Helios with a smile then walked ahead as Aria followed him from behind . ;

Helios walked towards the windows and opened a door that was directly connected with the garden where the basketball yard was . When they stepped out , Aria looked at the yard amazed . She had seen it through the window but now that it was in front of her , she found it even more amazing . There was nothing missing . The balls were all lined up and cleaned , the first aid kits were also there , there were two fridges with transparent glass showing bottles of water and lemonade . There was also a giant closet and five big changing rooms . Aria stepped inside the yard shined by the lights on top of the chain wall surrounding the yard stunned . ;

' Wooooaaa ! ' thought Aria amazed . ;

” Do you like it ? ” asked Helios when seeing her eyes checking the whole place . ;

” .....It's good . ” said Aria as if she wasn't amazed by it at all . ;

” Let's put comfortable clothes first . ” said Helios and walked towards the closet then took out a ;female set of clothes then gave it to Aria . ;

” You have even have female sets of clothes ? ” asked Aria surprised . ;

” The female set clothes is an essential must . ” said Helios with a naighty smirk ;. ;

” Ewwww ! Did you give the used pair of one of your...crazy fan lovers ?!!!! ;” said Aria checking the clothes in a freaked way . ;

” He he he ! I would give anyone the used set of clothes except you . ” said Helios making Aria look at him confused . ;

” Except me ? ” said Aria confused . ;

” You aren't my crazy fan lover , aren't you ? ” said Helios with a smirk . ;

” Of course not ! ” said Aria with a firm and determined tone but deep in her mind , she couldn't deny the admiration that had started to blossom inside her for him . ;

' Of course not cause you aren't like those other girls . You aren't my plaything but my ally . As much as I am tempted by you to cross the line , I will never do it.......Especially when I am not serious . ' ;thought Helios with a bitter expression as he watched Aria's back . ;

He didn't want to change things . He wanted to continue remaining like that with her but he wasn't sure whether he would be able to do that . ;

When walking towards the changing rooms Aria noticed a pool right next to the basketball yard . ;

” Isn't the pool at the other sose of the house ? ” asked Aria who had seeen the pool previously from the window . ;

” I have two pools . ” said Helios with a calm tone . ;

Aria looked at him dumbfounded then looked at the pool . ;

” What a useless expense ! ” said Aria .
