241: I will call you by your name when you call me by my name !

I will call you by your name when you call me by my name !

" Kindness is always repaid in some ways ?!.....Never heard about this before and I don't think it makes sense .  " said Helios with a laugh .

" For the first time , I am not surprised by your answer . Of course , it may look like a silly thing to a lord of your caliber but to some.....it's the only branch of hope on which they can hang on . " said Aria with a serious expression .

Helios remained a bit surprised when he heard her talk informally , with a serious tone .

' When she speaks like this , she reminds me of the first time we met . Fearless and not respectful at all . Since she learned that I am the CEO of the Castejo group she has been careful yet bold when speaking with me . ' thought Helios with a smile .

" You are right ! I don't understand such things . " said Helios .

" I hope one day you can be miserable enough to find yourself in need to grab on something . That arrogance of yours can only be fixed once you experience hardships . " whispered Aria annoyed .

" Who told you that I haven't faced any hardships ?! " said Helios .

Although Aria was whispering , he was still able to hear her and showed a smirk .

" I....I.....didn't say anything . " said Aria .

" If you intend to play the fool , then you shouldn't have said it in the first place .  " said Helios as he looked at the embarrassed face of Aria .

" Everyone has hardships ! Your hardships are considered no less than mine .  " said Helios .

" Sorry but I don't believe that ! You must have been a spoiled brat and now you have grown up to an annoying person . " said Aria . 

" You are half right and half wrong . I had everything I could ask for but at the same time...I never had what I needed . " said Helios and his expression changed into a melancholic one .

Aria was about to ask him the meaning of his words but remained silent as she saw him .

' .....Should I ask him ?...No.....It has nothing to do with me . ' thought Aria and decided to remain silent .

The silence in the car lasted until they arrived at Aria's house . Helios was about to help her with the security belt but when he saw the Aria had already taken it off he showed a forced laugh .

" Why do you have to be so.... ? " whispered Helios and bit his lip with half a smile .

" Thank you for taking me home , boss . " said Aria .

" No problem , little tigress ! " said Helios .

When Aria heard him , she felt a bit annoyed .

" Boss ! " said Aria .

" Yes , little tigress ? " Helios with a smirk .

" Why do you keep calling me little tigress ?! I am sure that I told you , I have a name ! " said Aria with a serious tone and forced smile .

" ....Hmmmmm......Now I remember ! " said Helios acting as if he had forgotten .

" Can you please stop calling me little tigress and start calling me by my name now that you remember  ?! " said Aria .

" Okay ! I will start calling you with your name when you start calling me by my name . Both at work and in daily life ." said Helios with a smirk .

" You are my boss and it wouldn't be considered polite if I called you by your name . " said Aria refusing immediately .

" Since you agreed to be part of my team , your status has upgraded . " said Helios with a smirk as he wore his sunglasses .

' Calling him by his name would certainly make me the enemy of all the females in the company . The pink media said that more than half of the female population were after this donkey . I would literally be posting a killing warrant for myself if I called him by his name . Not to mention that rumors about him spread like the wind . ' thought Aria .

When he saw Aria burdened , he could guess what was on her mind right away and laughed a little .

" I need to go now . Tomorrow I will come to get you and show you , your other job . Also your teammates . " said Helios with a smile .

" Okay ! Goodbye ! " said Aria with a fake smile as she waved at Helios , who left with his car . 

' Annoying donkey ! For the sake of becoming a rich independent person , I will keep up with you . ' thought Aria .

As she walked up the stairs she heard the door of her apartment open .

" Dadada ! " said a voice .

" I could recognize my little brat's voice everywhere . Aden ! " said Aria with a smile when she saw him hiding behind the wall .

" Dadaddaaa ! " said Aden again and hugged Aria .

" Aden , did you go out again ?! You !.....Oh , Aria ! You came ! Welcome home ! " said Kejt with a smile .

" I am home mom ! " said Aria with a smile .

Only when she saw her mother at the door and Aden welcoming her with a warm hug , she realized how much she had missed their presence in the years that she studied abroad .

" Mom ! " said Aria .

" Yes , dear ! " said madam Kejt .

" I am glad you came here ! Thank you ! " said Aria holding Aden's hand .

Kejt went to her daughter and hugged her tightly .

" Silly child ! I am also happy that I get to be with you again . " said Kejt with a caring tone .

" Aren't you angry with me anymore ?! " asked Aria a bit confused .

" You know that I am only angry with you for a day since I love you so much ! Just try to not get hurt and we are fine ! " said Kejt .

The both of them laughed whole Aden looked at them confused . She entered the room with her mother and brother then noticed that her dad wasn't on the couch watching TV .

" Where's dad ? " asked Aria .

" He is washing the dishes ! " said Kejt .

" Dad ?!.....My father ?!......The one who helped in my birth....Your husband......is washing the dishes ?!!!! " said Aria with a shocked expression .

" Yes , sweetie ! " said Kejt .

" What the...... " said Aria with a doubtful expression and took a sneaky look inside the kitchen .

She remained beyond shocked when she saw her father washing the dishes . Her father was the type of person to do everything on his own but never the type of man to wash the dishes or help his wife with cooking , cleaning , or taking care of kids .

" Mom...has a ghost possessed him ?! " said Aria who still couldn't believe it .

" Just what are you saying . I do admit that it is shocking but not that much . " said Kejt .

" Mom , are you kidding me ?! Either he bumped his head somewhere or else he would never do this . You are even married to him . You know it best that he is not his normal self when he is like this ." said Aria .

" Kejt , the meat is ready . " said Karl from the kitchen .

" Coming .......Aria , go change and come to eat dinner . " said Kejt with a smile .

" You know mom.......I will just get some sleep . I am tired from cleaning all night and working all day . " said Aria with a tired expression .

' The dinner at that luxurious place cut my appetite . I can't even eat just by thinking of tomorrow's events . Teammates , plans , works........I have to sleep in order to be prepared and ready for everything . No one would help a normal commoner become a millionaire for nothing . Whatever that donkey has in mind , it's probably not good ! I have a feeling that I will be using ninety percent of my nerves on that blonde donkey........ ' thought Aria with a tired expression .0

" You don't wanna eat dinner ?!!! Now , you are being even weirder than your dad . " said Kejt surprised .

" I am just tired mom . That's it....Goodnight ! " said Aria and headed to her room .

" Goodnight........Both father and daughter are shocking me tonight ! " said Kejt with a super confused expression as she looked at her daughter going into the room . 

Aden decided to continue watching TV and waiting for dinner instead of joining his sister for a good sleep .

Aria changed her clothes then went to the bed . After covering herself with the blanket she stared at the ceiling for a while thinking about tomorrow . The fact that Helios made the job sound mysterious and dangerous made her curious even more .

' What could that job possibly be ?!........He was being so sneaky and asking me several times whether I was sure about my decision or not . I can't deny that I really want to accept such a tempting offer . Despite all the troubles and dangers that come along with it , I think it is worth a shot but.......what if this implicates my family . What should I do then ?!......Oh , Lord ! Please , help me make the right decision and protect my family . ' thought Aria before she fell asleep .

The anxiety that Helios left in her wasn't for the purpose of scaring her . He wanted to tell her that there was no turning back if she dared to take one step ahead . Aria understood this well even without him explaining it to her in details .
