Possessive love by powerful billionaire CEO

Chapter 61 - I'm Looking For A Book

After locking his office , Helios went outside . He walked for a bit till he arrived at the entrance of the library . When seeing him the guards bowed and cleared the path for him to pass . The guard who he met earlier was still in front of the door . With just a glance from Helios he understood that he had to leave and open the door for the prince .

The guard left quietly after opening the door . When Helios entered in he saw that Aria was still reading . The pile of books that he saw in the morning had become twice as big , the white board was filled with notes and different files were prepared .

' She looks childish but she does a really good job ! ' thought Helios when seeing how much she was able to do within a day .

Aria was so focused on the book that she had forgot to eat both lunch and dinner . Helios saw that the plates were left untouched on the table .

' Now I understand why she fainted after closing our case at the court's entrance , she barely eats anything when she is focused on her job . ' thought Helios when seeing her write on a paper .

" You sure have worked hard ! " said Helios .

Aria realized that Helios was in the library only after hearing his voice .

" You ?! What are you doing here ?! " asked Aria surprised .

" Look at your food ! It's cold now only because you didn't eat in time ! " said Helios avoiding Aria's question .

Even he himself didn't want to admit that that he was a bit worried about her .

" If you didn't mention it , I would have forgotten about it . " said Aria when looking at the food .

In that moment her stomach started to grumble which embarrassed Aria a little . Helios laughed at her cute expression and stomach noise . The more he laughed , the more she wanted to hide herself from embarrassment .

' Why now ?! ' thought Aria to herself while her stomach continued to make noise .

" It seems like your stomach is reminding you that he's hungry . " said Helios .

Aria sat down and started to eat . Helios also sat in front of her and looking at her with a smirk .

" What are you doing ? " said Aria when she saw that he was looking at her with an interrogative look in his eyes .

" I was just wondering why you're a bit chubby and not fat with how much you eat . You must have a good metabolism . I bet you must have been a fat baby girl when you were born . " said Helios with a laugh .

" You....really ! I was....now I'm not....Can't you just shut up and stay quiet ?! Don't you have anything to do ?! Why have you come here ? " said Aria annoyed .

" I was staying quiet . You were the one who asked me what I was doing so I answered . " said Helios with a smile .

" This blonde donkey ! " murmured Aria annoyed that she couldn't talk back .

" What do you want here ? " asked Aria .

" I am here because I need a book . After I find it I will go back . " said Heios .

" Really ?! I will gladly help you find it . If we search together we will find it faster then you can go and finish your own work . It's not good to leave the work unfinished . " said Aria with a super happy expression .

' She repeated the word ' finish ' so many times and her big smile , convinces me that she is trying to get me out of here as fast as possible . ' thought Helios .

" Wow , thaks beforehand for the help . Unfortunately I forgot the name of the book I was searching for . " said Helios with an innocent voice .

" Are you kidding me ?! Who forgets the name of the book he needs to work with ?! " asked Aria a bit shocked .

" I just forgot it's name but haven't forgotten the book's cover . " said Helios with a proud tone .

" I should say that the fact that you remember the cover it isn't something to feel proud of . " said Aria with an emotionless face which made Helios laugh a little .

" I really wonder who's short sighted enought to hire someone like you ?! " said Aria annoyed when she saw him laughing .

" Oh now that you're telling me ! The both of us have an agreement . Today is the last day ! Have you figured up what my job is ? " asked Helios seating comfortably while waiting for Aria to finish her food .

" Being a nuisance to me ! " said Aria with a non caring tone .

" Are you serious ?! " asked Helios a bit startled from her reply .

" Well , apart from annoying me I have never seen you do anything else . " said Aria .

" You aren't even a bit interested in knowing what's my job ?! " asked Helios even more startled .

" Not really ! If I were to put it in numbers I would say minus a hundrend percent disinterested ! Not even zero but minus a hundred percent . " said Aria and finished the last bite .

' This girl can't be for real ! ' thought Helios with a neutral expression .

She wiped her lips with the napking next to the plate in the tray and then got up . Aria got another book from a bookshelf and walked to the table where she was working .

" Now that I ate , I need to focus on my work . Since you don't even remember the book's name I would suggest you to continue and work tomorrow cause it will take a lot of time before you find it . I would have helped you if you knew the name but now I can't , I need to focus on my own work ! " said Aria and then sat .

" You have been in the library since morning and looks like you haven't rested at all ! Aren't you tired ? " said Helios looking at the empty plates .

" Yes , I am tired but I need to focus on this case and make sure to analyse each information carefully . I can't let anything go unnoticed ! " said Aria holding another file in her hand .

" Why did you accept madam Margrethe's case ?! In my case it was because you damaged an ancient statue and it's understandable that had to take this case . In the end it resulted a success and you even asked for extras which you deserved....In this old madam's case , I really can't see you earn any profit . " said Helios .

When hearing this Aria showed a soft smile .

" Do you really think people do things like this for free ?! I have my own profit in this mess . " said Aria .

" I knew you wouldn't do it just because you're kind . You even made Bekora agree to your request about covering up your expenses . Now that you helped Mana...are you gonna ask her to fulfill a request of yours ? " said Helios with an evil smile .

Aria laughed a little and closed the book she was reading then looked towards Helios with determinded expression .

" I am the type of person who never wants to owe others anything and that't precicely why I am working on this case instead of spending my free time with my family . About Mana's case , I really did help her out of kindness without expecting something in return . " said Aria with a smile .

" I don't believe you . " said Helios with a serious expression .

" You can think whatever you want . " said Aria and opened the book .

' She expects nothing in return ?! Who's she trying to fool ?! She knows how to play the innocent part well . I will go along with you and wait till you expose your true thoughts . I don't believe that you can keep your acting for long . You will sooner or later reveal your intentions ! ' thought Helios .

' Hmmm....kindness ! Ridiculous ! ' thought Helios with a dry smile .

Aria was continuing with her work without paying any attention to Helios . Although his presence made her a bit uncomfortable , she still tried to not derivate her mind elsewhere . Helios got up from the table and went to get a book from the bookshelf since he had nothing better to do . Despite being tired Helios decided to stay at the library and look at Aria while she was working . Ocassionaly they would throw glances at each other . Aria wanted to tell him to leave but she was sure that he wouldn't .

' It's realy hard to understand this guy ! Why is he suddenly in a bad mood ? ' thought Aria a bit nervous of his bad mood aura .

Two hours passed , Helios finished the book he took and then looked at Aria again . He noticed that Aria had fallen asleep . On the computer's screen he saw that there were some little papers attached in which some numbers were written . Helios could tell that they were the numbers of the files Aria had been working on for the whole day . When he looked at the flowers , he took a glimpse of Aria's sleeping face . She had such a calm and peaceful expression .

' Hard to believe that this little tigress can be so calm . Guess she's only calm when she sleeps...her sleeping face is cute . ' thought Helios while slightly poking her cheeks .
