Chapter 147 - How You Met ?!
" My name is Florence . Nice to meet you , president Castejo ! " said Florence with a calm smile .
" What job do you do Florence ? " asked Helios with a noncaring tone while drinking whiskey .
Helios was acting as if he didn't know him . Aria considered it a normal thing but in the world of the rich, it was considered as if he didn't have that big of an influence . The rich people often used this method to deal with the annoying people of the industry and right now Helios was using it towards Florence .
' I have never meet president Castejo before but it seems like he doesn't like me . I wonder why ?! ' thought Florence and peeked a bit at Aria who was looking at Aden .
" I'm a successful surgeon . " said Florence with a polite tone .
" A surgeon , it must be a tough job ?! " said Helios .
" It is but it's also nice to save people's lives . " said Florence .
" Yeah , you're right but I personally think that working on the desk and deal with marketing is better . It's an easier and more comfortable job compared with being a surgeon . Plus you can earn much more . " said Helios with a smirk and implying that Florence's job was a hard , not well-paid job while he had an easy and comfortable well-paid job .
' Helios , didn't I tell you that his wealth is comparable with yours already ?! ' thought Ramolo while looking at him with a serious look .
' What's his problem with Florence ?! ' thought Bekora with an awkward smile .
Florence was patient but he couldn't hold himself any more about this matter .
" True it is a harder job compared with working on a desk and looking at contracts of marketing products every day but I find more pleasure in seeing a happy smile from my patients rather than dealing with only papers . It's boring if you can't chat with others and just focus on work . Recently I have received working offers from different kingdoms , including the royal family of Denmark . Also , I assure you that my payment is only seven or eight million less than yours . " said Florence, and Aria looked at him shocked .
' Working with royals ?!!!!! Florence is this rich ?! ' thought Aria shocked when realizing that she actually had a blind date with a big shot .
" Oh , well since they're the same , it must be a matter of preference about the field which people like the most . " said Helios with a smile .
" I totally agree with president Castejo on this ! " said Florence with a polite smile .
" Please , call me Helios ! " said Helios with a dangerous smirk .
" Have you decided which offer to accept ? " asked Ramolo while looking at Florence with admiration .
" Actually , I haven't decided yet ! The pay is high but....I gotta try and see where I feel more at ease. In which state or kingdom I feel more comfortable cause once I sign the contract , I will spend the rest of my life at that place . " said Florence with a polite tone .
" If you were to choose Denmark then , I assure you that you will be treated just as high as the royal family itself . " said Ramolo trying to convince him but then Helios glared at him .
" Adada ! " said Aden .
Everyone turned their head towards him and saw that he got up from his place then took Aria's hand .
" Aden , sweetie ?! " asked Aria surprised .
" Dadada , mamde ! " said Aden and took Aria to the couch where Helios , he and Alan were staying.
He pushed Alan away and sat Aria down then took Aan's hand and made him seat with Florence . Helios and Aria looked at each other while the others were impressed by his actions .
" He wants his sister near even though she tried to take him out of here . " said Ramolo .
" He's a very clever child ! He stays near Helios because he knows that Helios won't send him away and at the same time he takes Aria to the seat next to him because he feels safe near her . " said Bekora with a smile .
Florence liked the fact that Aden was more intelligent than the usual children with autism but he found it bothersome that he kept approaching Aria with Helios .
' This little kid is very smart ! I am liking him even more now . ' thought Helios and looked at Aria's nervous smile and troubled expression .
Before Helios could speak Mana took the glass of wine in her hands and called out to Aria .
" Hey Florence and Aria ! I am really curious to know how you guys met each other . Mind sharing it with us ?! " asked Mana with a very interested expression .
Aria and Florence looked at each other and smiled in a bit of a nervous way . Aria still couldn't forget the fact that she called Florence a stalker .
' Oh , Aria ! I have no words to describe your stupidity ! Do you even have a brain ?! How could you call the most wanted surgeon between the royal families of different countries , a stalker ?!!!!! You seriously don't think at all before you speak . ' thought Aria with a dejected expression .
" Are you talking to yourself ?! " asked Helios with a devilish smirk when he saw her funny reaction .
" What ?!.....No...why should I talk to myself . You must have drunk a lot of whiskeys that you've become drunk and spouting nonsense . " said Atia in a fast way cause Helios caught her off guard .
' I am pretty sure that she was talking to herself and teaching a lesson to herself about knowing before speaking . I am very curious about what kind of torture did this guy suffer when he net her . ' thought Helios with a little laugh and waiting for someone to tell what other stupidity , Aria had said .
" Okay.....shall I tell them how it went ?! " said Florence and looked at Aria who nodded her head reluctantly in embarrassment .
" We....met through my father . His name is Flaubert and he was Aden's doctor in charge in London . One day , when Aria came to get her brother's analysis , my dad told her about the doctor here in Denmark and who's hard to get an appointment with. He promised to reserve an appointment for Aria with that doctor if she went on a blind date with me ." said Florence and Helios opened his eyes wide open when he heard this . Not only him but everyone in the hall .
" A blind date ?! " said Mana and looked at Aria with a smirk .
" Aria agreed and we met at the cafe near the hospital . We couldn't recognize each other at the beginning....anyway.....a lady inside the cafe suddenly fainted and Aria gave her a professional first aid . Thanks to her , that lady is alive today . I went to help her and together we sent the lady to the hospital then Aria left towards the cafeteria again . After half an hour I went to the cafe and my dad sent me Aria's photo so that I could recognize her but before I could look at it , the two of us bumped into each other again and my phone fell on the ground . When Aria got the phone to give it to me while apologizing for making me fall , she took a peek at her photo then she saw me with an angry expression . She was very angry and even called me a maniac and stalker . " said Florence with a little laugh and looked at Aria who wanted to hide her face .
Everyone started to laugh out loud except Helios who laughed with a normal tone .
" Aria , you really are funny to the core ! " said Bekora while laughing .
" Aria...pfffff....hahahahahaha ! " said Mana when looking at her .
" I thought it was only in our case but it doesn't seem like it . " said Ramolo while remembering Helios and Aria's first meeting at the airport .
" Aria , hahahahaah......did you really call him that ?!.....hahahahaha ! Other girls would love to have this guy as their stalker . " said Alan while laughing .
" Indeed , it's little tigress's style ! " said Helios with a calm tone while looking at her puzzled expression .
" After that ?! " asked Mana with curiosity .
" After that , we discussed and cleared the fact that we wanted to remain friends . Aria was very honest and told me clearly that she doesn't have time for a relationship and that she only came to meet me because of my father . My father wants me to get married and quickly give him grandchildren . That's why I have been forced to go to many blind dates . Out of all the girls, I have met , Aria left the deepest impression on me . She was very honest and kind , and those are the two qualities that I like the most . For the first time ever I was glad that I listened to my father and went on that blind date cause I got the chance to meet a great person like her . " said Florence and looked at Aria with a warm smile which started to piss Helios off .
" Thank you Florence ! I am also glad to have gone to that blind date cause I got the chance to meet you . " said Aria with a warm smile too .
Helios was burning from anger and the others didn't dare to speak when seeing him like that .
' Eouu.....eouuuuu ! ' thought the four of them , forcing themselves to not notice Helios's bad mood .
