Chapter 199 - Speechless
" Anyway....He asked me for 89 million because his statue was broken...although the broken part was a small piece , even unnoticeable . I told him that I don't have all that money . While discussing some papers fell from his hands on the ground and I took a look at it . It was a law issue with the Castejo company . I offered my help in compensation for the damage I had caused to the statue . He told me that I had to pay him another ten million if I couldn't do it and that makes a total of 99 million . Can you believe it professor ?! " said Aria and professor Benjamin looked at her with a serious expression while drinking tea .
The queen was listening to the story with quite an interested look in her eyes while sitting on the couch and looking at both of them .
" I told him that if I won he would have to pay me ten million as psychological compensation . " said Aria .
" Psychological compensation ?! " said professor Benjamin confused .
" For a famous and wealthy person like you professor , this may be nothing much but for me , a poor girl who has enough struggles with her school fee and other expenses...it is a huge psychological shock when I hear 99 million . I nearly fainted when I heard him about the statue . I thought he was joking with me until he showed me the bill . " said Aria with a serious expression .
" That's typical of you . Go on ! " said Professor Benjamin .
" We made a deal and after some difficulties, I managed to solve the issue . " said Aria with a smile .
" You ?! Shouldn't you say ' we ' ?! " said Helios and looked at her surprised .
" Of course I will say ' me ' because I did most of the work or I should say , 95 percent of the work ! I gave you the information that could save your company right in your hands yet you lost it and I had to find another way to give you the information again . Now you even want me to say ' we ' ?! " said Aria with a sarcastic tone which made Helios admit it with an annoyed expression .
' It looks like Aria doesn't know who he is... ' thought professor Benjamin with a troubled expression .
" After I helped him save his company I donated the money I won from our bet back to him so that he could go to a re-education school but now I am regretting not accepting the money because no re-education school can fix this guy's character . " said Aria .
Professor Benjamin and the queen almost choke when they heard her words .
' This idiot little tigress's straightforwardness will give people a heart attack one day... ' thought Helios with a troubled expression .
' I couldn't expect less from her ! ' thought queen Margrethe .
" Cough....cough...Aria , did you know mr Helios's identity at that time ?! " asked professor Benjamin with a shocked expression .
" Identity ?!.....Oh , about him being the president of the Castejo company . I had no idea ! I only found out recently.... " said Aria with a guilty conscience .
" i think I haven't punished you enough ! " said Helios with a serious tone while staring at her .
When Aria looked at him , she remembered the files she had to organize then changed her facial expression into a smiling one .
" But...After I met him , I realized that it was my fault for not recognizing him . He is a hard-working boss who's respected by everyone . His intelligence has no limits and he is also handsome . I feel lucky to work for him . " said Aria with a forced smile and saw at Helios who was looking at her with a shocked expression .
' I am not used to hear her praise me . It feels weird ! ' thought Helios with a surprised expression .
" O...Okay ! " said professor Benjamin surprised that she didn't know who he was despite him having big fame .
" I started to search for a special doctor for my brother's condition . That's how I came here in Denmark . I didn't have enough money and I came here thanks to mr Helios's cousin , mr Bekora . When we came here I passed by the royal library and remembered the homework that you gave me professor . I tried to enter but the guards didn't let me enter so I sneaked in by climbing through the wall . That's how I met madam Margre....I mean , queen Margrethe and helped her with a corruption case of the minister of the environment . " said Aria with a serious expression .
" Oh , she also saved my granddaughter from being kidnapped by fighting back those evil kidnappers . She is both smart and skilled . " said queen Margrethe and professor Benjamin looked at her with a shocked expression .
" What a pity that she isn't obedient and cute ! " said Helios with a smirk .
" Truthfully speaking , I feel glad that you don't consider me cute since I will be safe from the hands of a playboy like you . " said Aria with a relieved smile .
" Hmph ! " said Helios with an annoyed expression and lazy smile .
" Well.....I really didn't expect this . It seems like you have a special talent for getting yourself in trouble . You only left school for nearly two months , yet you managed to put yourself in trouble . Really !.....I am your professor and I worry about you putting yourself in trouble . I can't imagine how worried your parents feel about leaving you alone . " said professor Benjamin when he heard Aria and looked at her with a serious look .
" Is this all ?! " asked professor Benjamin .
" Yes ! " said Aria .
" You must be kidding , right ?!.....I am asking you the reason , why you dropped out of school Aria ?! " said professor Benjamin a bit angry .
" It's because... " said Aria and suddenly the scream of a child could be heard .
' Is it Aden ?! ' though Aria with a worried expression and rushed out of the room .
" Aria !.....This girl ! She has lost complete senses since she came back to visit her parents . She shouldn't have left the university at all ! It was thoughtless of me to give her a break ! " said professor Benjamin with an angry expression when he saw her leaving in a messy way.
" She has taken her little brother here today . " said Helios and kept looking towards the door .
Helios ordered the maid to go and see what was going on . The queen looked at professor Benjamin with a serious expression .
" I don't think Aria would leave like that without a good reason . " said queen Margrethe .
Professor Benjamin looked at her with a serious expression and kept thinking about Helios's words .
' She didn't tell why she quit school.....could the reason be related to her little brother ?! ' thought professor Benjamin .
When Aria went downstairs she saw that Aden was yelling and crying . He kept pushing Ramolo who tried to approach him .
' He is too agitated . What happened ?! ' thought Aria with a worried expression .
" Aden ! " said Aria with a worried tone .
Aden wouldn't listen to her and continued to cry . Aria looked around to see what was making him feel so agitated . While looking around she noticed that there was a golden elevator .Aria understood why Aden was like that and immediately went towards him .
" Aden ! Calm down ! We wuill go to the elevator together . Alright ?! " said Aria with a calm tone .
" Dadadada !!!!! " yelled Aden and pushed Aria with his full strength .
