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.
