Chapter 1 - A Messy Meeting
Chapter 1 - A Messy Meeting
"Okay now that I arrived at the airport I can relax a little since there's two hours left before the plane's departure . I better go and take a cappuccino. " said Aria while looking at her phone.
Everything was perfect for her now that she had just graduated from university . It had already been four years since she last went to her country. The four years passed in France went away in the blink of an eye so now it was time to return to her homeland , England .
After getting her cappuccino Aria decided to look in the stores for some souvenirs . She thought that it would be nice to get some presents for her family members . When she entered the store she started to look around and then saw a suspicious person . He was wearing a black hat and jacket,grey jeans with holes and he also had had three earrings in his left ear . He approached a middle-aged lady and in the blink of an eye stole her purse from the bag she was carrying .
"A thief , catch him , he stole my purse !" said the lady in a very desperate tone . Aria decided to run after him .
"How dare you steal a lady's money ! " said Aria with an angry tone and went after him .
While running she accidentally bumped into a tall man who was accompanied by two other guys who looked like bodyguards . At first sight , she thought he was very handsome . Aria saw that he was carrying a weird statue in his hand then she thought of an idea .
" Sorry for bumping into you . May I use this object ? " said Aria with a polite smile .
Without even hearing his answer she runs after the thief and left him with a shocked look on his face . She threw the mini statue like a basketball and hit his head . He immediately fell down losing consciousness . Everyone around started to praise her courage and aim . The police came to take the thief away and thanked Aria cause they were looking for him for so long but still couldn't catch him . Then she returned the wallet to the middle-aged lady who was thanking her with tears in her eyes . Aria knew how it was like to be left without money so she was really happy she helped her .
" Again thank you very much !" said the old lady with a grateful smile .
" Don't mention it ! It was my pleasure to help you . " said Aria with a happy smile .
Aria parted with the lady after getting her luggage and decided to go on her way again . The moment she made the first step , she felt a chill behind her back and the place became a bit dark . Aria didn't understand what was going on and turned around to see the source of that black atmosphere.
" You ! "
Aria heard a voice and it was the owner of the statue who she bumped into a few minutes ago . She couldn't understand why he was so angry.
" Sir what's...wrong ? " asked Aria with a confused expression .
" Hey hero girl ! Now that you got the merits thanks to my statue who was broken by your unnatural strength you expect me to let you get away with this ?! " said Helios with a serious expression .
When she looked carefully at the statue she realized that it was damaged and was quite surprised.
" Don't you think it's weird for a statue to break so easily ? Maybe it's fake ?! Plus it can be repaired right ! Why make it a big deal about something so unimportant ? " said Aria with a normal tone .
"You know ! I just paid 89 million to get this statue and you dare to say that it is fake ."
Aria couldn't believe her ears when she heard him .
' Eighty nine million for a statue ?! He must be nuts !!! ' thought Aria for a moment then looked carefully at the statue.
"Are you trying to trick me ? Who is stupid enough to buy an ugly statue that costs so much ?! If you want me to fall for this stupid joke than continue to dream ." said Aria with a determined expression .
Helios showed Aria the bill . When she looked at it she was terrified . The look on her face was half dead .
" Is this thing made of pure gold or diamond ?! " said Aria shocked and holding the statue in a much more careful way than before .
In the faces of the bodyguard looking guys a smile showed up but it didn't last long . It took just a look from Helios for their faces to became blue .
"Hey girl ! I suggest you better stop with your nonsense and find me a statue like this or pay for the damage. " said Helios who was running out of patience .
" I'm sorry for breaking your statue but even if I work for a lifetime I can't make that much money . If you could let me have a look at it then I may be able to fix it . " said Aria with a guilty tone .
Before Helios replied he received a message and ordered from the guys behind to pass him some documents. Accidentally two sheets fell on the floor and Aria decided to pick them up . She started to read a little and understood that it was a court case about the shares of Castejo company , one of the most known companies which has extended even abroad gaining a lot of fame . Aria thought for a moment and decided to offer him her help in this case as compensation for the damage .
"Give it here ! " said Helios in a harsh voice.
" From what I read you're in a tight spot. Party B requires shares with a minimum of eighty-five percent. By the evidence accumulated it will be hard for part A to win this case even if it hires the best lawyer in the city. " said Aria with a serious expression .
While hearing Aria talking Helios's face became doubtful. How could an airhead looking girl like her with unnatural strength know about law issues.
" That hasn't got anything to do with you . " answered in a cold tone Helios.
" I know but I have to do something in order to repay back the debt . So if I help you win this case and fix your weird statue can you not ask for compensation ?! " said Aria with a bright and polite smile .
Even though in doubt Helios agreed but if she couldn't find an answer than she would have to pay ten more millions. He stared at her face and there was no trace of fear and that made him wonder if she was really just an airhead. In the end, he handed over the documents to Aria .
" These are all . If you need more data just contact this address and the company will give them to you . Remember if you fail you will have to pay ten million more for lying . Got it ?! " said Helios in a serious tone .
"Got it ! Your boss won't have to worry and if I succeed I want those ten million as compensation for your arrogance . Got it mr worker ?! " said Aria with an annoyed expression .
Helios was left without words to say when he heard the word 'worker '. At that moment Aria's phone began to ring. It was her mom .
