Chapter 14 - The Documents Got Stolen
n
n
nHelios , Mana and Aria were waiting in the hall while Bekora went to get Aria's usb . Mana was still trying to keep herself from laughing . Aria and Helios turned their back at each other . They took the phone out of their pocket at the same time and started to stare at it .
nMana though that it was quite a nice show to watch these two .
nMeanwhile Bekora arrived at the top floor where the president's office was . He entered the office and noticed that Aria's usb was in Helios's desk standing next to the cv documents of Aria .
n
"She sure has caught his attention, hasn't she .
" said Bekora .
nBefore he could leave the office the lawyer entered in fast speed .
n
"President ! Emergency ! said the lawyer in a panicked state .
n
"What's wrong ?!
" asked Bekora .
n
"Vice President ! The documents brought here by that girl who interrupted the meeting that day are missing . Without those evidence we can't be present in the today's court seance or we will certainly lose . We have tried to call the court and request to postpone it .
" said the lawyer even more worried than before. If they didn't win this case then he would be fired . The president's words were clear and everyone knew his temper . Mistakes weren't allowed in this si situation.
n
"WHAT ! Missing ! Have you checked carefully ?!! How can papers just disappear ?!!!
" said Bekora worried .
n
"I ... doubt.. they were.. stolen Vice President .
" said the lawyer in a low and scared voice .
n
"Stolen !!! Where were you ?! What do we pay you for ?! Mr Jakob , you better search everywhere for the documents and find them otherwise all the law department will be fired was I clear .
" said Bekora in a serious and angry tone .
n
"Yes , Vice President !
" said the lawyer whose face had turned blue from fear .
nMr Jakob went out of the office in a hurry leaving Bekora in a deep mess .
nNow everything would be over without those proofs. Bekora glanced at Aria's usb and thought that the only person who could help them right now that was her .
nOn the other hand in hall A7 Mana , Helios and Aria were still waiting for Bekora . Aria kept looking at her watch . She had to go get Aden's medical report in the hospital .
nThe silence was interrupted by Bekora who opened the door with a face full of worry. Aria run towards him to get the usb he was holding in his hands . Bekora wasn't letting go of the usb .
n
"What's wrong Bekora ?
" asked Aria .
nMana and Helios immediately noticed that something was wrong with just a look at Bekora's face . Bekora looked at Aria .
n
"Bekora can you give me my usb now ?
" said Aria . Bekora came to his senses when he heard Aria .
n
"Aria , can I ask you to stay and help us today at court, please ?
" said Bekora in a desperate voice .
n
"No I can't, today I have an important job to do .
" said Aria and tried to take the usb from Bekora's hand but he wasn't letting it go .
n
"Please Aria !
" said Bekora.
n
"What's going on ?
" asked Helios and Mana at the same time .
n
"The files that Aria found last time are missing. Without those proofs we cannot go to court or we will lose . The law department has looked everywhere for them but can't find them . They .....suspect someone may have stolen them .
" said Bekora looking at the ground and lowering his voice at the end .
nHelios was about to explode from anger but kept himself under control. Mana was terrified by Helios's look right now .
n
"I am sorry but I really can't help . I have to go and I am already running late .
" said Aria and extended her hand waiting for Bekora to give her the usb . He realized that it was useless to try convincing her so he gave up and was ready to give her the usb .
n
"Wait !
" said Helios and took the usb from Bekora's hand . Aria remained surprised at how he treated him . She thought that Helios should show respect to Bekora since he was his superior but instead he acts as if he is the boss . They started to be a bit suspicious in her eyes .
nHelios understood that what she was thinking . He looked at Mana and Bekora .
n
"Apart from Aria , the others , please leave .
" said Helios in a serious tone .
nBekora and Mana went out without saying anything to defy Helios . The hall was left in a quiet atmosphere. Aria and Helios kept looking at each other .
n
"You aren't just a simple worker here , are you ?
" asked Aria looking straight at Helios .
n
"Maybe !
" said Helios and went towards Aria with slow steps . The more he approached her the more she walked backwards to distance herself from him .
n
"I will tell you who I am if you help us .
" said Helios , continuing to approach Aria .
n
"Why would I care to know who you are ? As long as you don't interfere with my job then I don't care at all .
"
nIn these words Helios noticed that Aria must have faced some trouble in finding jobs even though her academic performance is outstanding .
n
"We had a deal , remember ?!
" said Helios .
n
"I remember and I never go back on my word but today is impossible . In the deal we clearly said that I would help you win the case but not particularly participate in it myself, furthermore I have my own things to take care of too .
" said Aria in a strict voice .
n
"Fulfill your promise first !
" said Helios.
n
"In terms of fulfillment I have done more than enough but it's your department's fault who cannot protects the evidences well !
"
nHelios kept drawing near and Aria kept distancing herself till there was nothing except the wall behind her . Helios blocked Aria's way with his arm and looked straight in her deep brown eyes which's color resembled that of a caramel chocolate . Aria also looked straight in Helios's blue eyes which resembled the sea and the sky . She thought that they were like blue clear diamonds stuck in his flesh .
n
"What is so important that you refuse to help us so much ? Is it a date ?
" asked Helios a bit angry which ruined the nice atmosphere that was created a few seconds ago .
n
"Is dating the only think your brain is capable of thinking ?!!
" said Aria in an annoyed tone while sighting.
