Chapter 18 - What I am want in exchange for my help is ..

The court seance had begun . Mr Ben was explaining all the faults . Bekora was listening with worry . Everything that was being said was against them and even proved with doc.u.ments. He took a glimpse at Aria to see if she was worried too but to his surprise she was keeping her cool . Bekora remained amazed . They were receiving so much complains and she still acted as if it was just a minor case .

"Aria you sure are calm ! Does that mean that we actually have a chance to win this case ?! " whispered Bekora .

"We don't only have a chance but we are going to win . " whispered Aria and then looked at Bekora while nodding her head in a reassuring way .

Even though he had high doubts, Bekora still decided to listen to Aria . He believed that she surely had a solution to this situation.

"In addition your honor I would like to add the fact that mr Helios has stolen the new project plan that belonged to mrs Karen ,proposed by R&B's ceo , marking it as his own ." said mr Ben .

Mr Ben remained really satisfied when he saw Bekora's nervous expression but that satisfaction didn't last soon . He saw Aria who was smiling and then she whispered something in Bekora's ear . After hearing Aria's words,Bekora looked at mr Ben in a revengeful way . That made mr Ben wonder 'what were they plotting ' .

After thinking for a bit he thought of an idea .

"Your honor ! I introduced my client's main problem so I will gladly pass the word to miss Aria . She seems to want to speak in the favor of her client . " said mr Ben with a gentle smile .

'Who is that snake trying to trick with that fake smile of his ?!' thought Bekora annoyed .

The prosecutor didn't say a thing and turned his sight towards Aria .

"I shall express my thanks for this possibility mr Ben but I will remain silent and listen to you till your turn ends . Since I arrived late according to you then I should do something to mend my mistake, no ?! " said Aria with a gentle smile .

"Then you will continue mr Ben ! " said the prosecutor.

"Yes your honor ! " said mr Ben with a forced smile .

He wanted to discover their plot but it didn't work as planed so he continued from where he left . Mr Ben started to present the other complains . When hearing them Aria remembered the time she and her brother were recuperating the deleted files . All those files were proofs that now had been robbed. Although Aria had them but she didn't save all of the information that was discovered. Also the project problem had arisen suspicions to her . She didn't knew the exact reason why Bekora and Helios weren't telling her but with or without them telling her , she needed to find a solution in this mess .

'How can important people be so stupid ?!! I gave them the files and the proofs right in their hands and in the end someone stole it . That fool who couldn't even guard well a single file of ten papers only ! Now I have to clean up the mess again . In the beginning everything was in our advantage but with this project now it will be difficult to win , the chances are only forty percent. ' thought Aria with a worried expression.

After an hour and a half the prosecutor announced a break of twenty minutes. Mr Ben had finished all he wanted to say and now was Aria's turn .

Mr Ben's expression was irritating Bekora even more . If it weren't for the prosecutor who was there he would go ahead and strangle him .

He calmed himself for a few minutes,and then looked at Aria's expression , which was serious and nervous at the same time .

"What's wrong ? " said Bekora worryingly.

"I am just wondering if I have a magnet that attracts fools . Nothing has went well for me since that stupid blonde donkey has appeared. " said Aria sighting.

Bekora remained shocked and could hardly keep himself from laughing.

"Why do you say that ?" said Bekora .

" I personally gave him the most important file with only ten sheets in it and others robbed him . He surely must have hand it over leisurely as if it wasn't an important task . In the end he forgot where he put it and others took the advantage to steal it . I also wouldn't miss a chance like this if I was a burglar, it would be the same as refusing free gold . I don't think anyone can be as stupid as him , apart from donkeys . They are the stupidest creatures on the planet with the most short memory ever . If they didn't have eyes they would bump their head against the wall every thirty seconds . Seriously now we are in big trouble without that file . Apart from all this , now he wants me to find a solution. That blonde donkey ! I want to strangle him !!! " said Aria angrily.

Bekora was covering his mouth with his hands , trying to keep himself from laughing .

Aria saw Bekora trembling while covering his mouth and thought that it was weird .

"What's wrong with you ? " asked Aria .

" No , ..nothing ! " said Bekora while holding his laughs .

' This is hilarious ! I can already imagine that prince's expression now .' thought Bekora .

"Are you done ?!" asked Aria with a serious tone .

" Yes ! " said Bekora and then became serious.

" Good ! Now , there are still ten minutes before we begin the seance . I sent my brother a message . He has prepared some important informations and has put then in a USB . He is at the company right now . Call someone who is trustworthy and tell him to bring it immediately . " said Aria with a serious tone .

" Sure ! " said Bekora and then opened his phone .

On the other hand Helios and Ramolo were watching them . Helios was surrounded by a murderous aura while Ramolo could hardly keep himself from laughing.

" That stupid shorty , tiger like temper is indescribably foolish . I won't be called Helios if I don't teach her a good lesson . Wait till this finishes I will make you pay for sure ! " said Helios with an evil grin .

" Well boss .... she is right at some point . I am not telling that this is excusable for calling you ' blonde donkey ' but still .... " said Ramolo trying to sound serious .

" Ramolo, shut up , if you don't wish to have a forever vacation in the Australia's villages . " said Helios with killer eyes .

' Boss sure is angry this time ! Better not interfere if I wish to continue living here . ' thought Ramolo while flinching .

Ramolo's phone started to ring and it was Bekora . He ordered Ramolo to go and get the USB from Aria's brother and to bring it immediately at the court .

Helios listen to everything and ordered Ramolo to do as Bekora said .

Ramolo went out of the president's office and hurried to the secretary in the first floor where Ace was waiting for him .

As soon as he arrived he encountered Ace at the door . Ace told him that it was of mass importance to not lose it otherwise they would lose .

Ramolo nodded in sign of agreement and took the USB . He hurried to the car and in five minutes he managed to arrive at the court .

Bekora and Aria were waiting for him outside the courtroom .

"Will he make it ? " asked Aria worried.

" Sure ! He is truly a master at his job so don't worry! Neither will he lose it or be late ! " said Bekora with a reassuring tone .

Bekora noticed that Ramolo was coming their way and smiled .

"Told you ! " said Bekora .

"Here you go , bro ! " said Ramolo and handed the USB to Aria .

While looking at the USB Aria noticed that Aden had put a sticker on the surface .

On that moment the conversation that she had with doctor Flaubert came to mind .

Aria looked at Bekora and Ramolo who were waiting for her so that they could enter and then she took a step behind .

" You really think that I will help you for free . " said Aria with a forced smirk .

" Aria ?! " said Bekora surprised.

When Ramolo heard her he remembered Helios's words about her wanting something from them in order to help them . Aria was a really good girl from the information that he had personally collected and people he asked . It was hard to believe that she could be a gold digger .

" Mr Bekora ! I think I have done more than enough to pay back my debt to the president. The other part of help is not for free . If you want me to save you then I have to ask something in return. " said Aria .

Bekora was someone who wasn't easy to get along with but still he believed that she wasn't a scrupulous woman so he thought that there must be some reasons behind her behavior .

" You're right ! You have done more than enough. Please state what your requirement is and we will fulfill it ."said Bekora with a serious tone .

Aria looked at him carefully and then started to talk .

" What I want in exchange for my help is .....
