Chapter 28 - Depart

It was already eight am when Aria had finished the work .

" It's already dark ! I hope to find a taxi ! " said Aria to herself and then a car blocked her way . Aria remained surprised when she saw it .

A man with the look of a secretary came out of the car .

" Miss Aria , our boss ordered me to escort you home . " said the secretary man .

Aria doubted a bit but then a text came and it was from Bekora .

' It's late so you better not go home walking . I called the driver to drive you home . Thanks for your help ! Good night ! '

That's what was written in the text .

Aria looked up at the company and thought that maybe not all bosses are as bad as they are described to be .

" Okay ! Thank you ! " said Aria to the driver then went inside the car . The driver had really good driving skills . He avoided the traffic jam easily and Aria arrived home within two minutes .

When she entered the house she noticed the luggages that were put near the front door . Ace was the first to notice that Aria had arrived .

" You're home pretty late ! Was the work hard ? " asked Ace .

" Well , there was a lot of work , to be exact , seven months of untouched files about the company's law and tech doc.u.ments . It was a bit hard that's why I am late . " said Aria .

" And you finished all of it ?! Just expected from a workaholic like you ." said Ace and started laughing at the thought of the Vice President's reaction . He could easily imagine his expression.

" Ha ha ha ! Very funny ! " said Aria with a dry smile .

" Come ! Mom has prepared a feast for you to eat . " said Ace .

When hearing the word feast Aria's face showed a big smile and she went straight in the kitchen to eat . Ms Keith , Aria's mom had prepared a lot of dish such as french fraise , cake , strawberry fruit salad with vanilla , spaghetti and a frappuccino for drink .

" Mom I love you ! " said Aria then went ahed to dig herself in her mom's delicious cooking .

" Glutton ! " said Ace then went to his room .

After filling her stomach , Aria explained to her mother that they would depart tomorrow at three pm while she would depart after tomorrow due to work issues .

" I understand but .. daughter the two of us have always more like best friends than mother and daughter, you know ! Someone offered to help you call the best doctor for your brother and cover all the expenses of our trip including shopping . You must understand that no one does things like this for free .... Are you sure you haven't gotten in troubles ?! " asked ms Keith worried .

Aria looked at her mother's eyes that were filled with worry and felt a heartache . She was always against Aria continuing her studies for advanced law and became a prosecutor. It was a luxurious job but also dangerous.

" Don't worry mom , I am completely fine ! You just focus on enjoying the trip and stop worried about thing that don't exist . " said Aria while hugging her .

After easing her mother's mind she accompanied her to the bed and waited till she fell asleep.

Ace who was passing by noticed that Aria went to the balcony . She always kept her worries for herself and apart from her mom no one else could give her the answers she wanted . After leaving home for a long time she learned how to keep her words to herself . The balcony was usually the place where she could actually complain to someone or better say , to something.

" Watching the stars ! " said Ace from behind .

" Haven't you gone to bed ? Little boys should sleep . " said Aria with a laugh .

" I have passed that age , thank you !"said Ace and sounded a bit annoyed then both of them laughed .

" Well we better go to sleep now ! You have a long trip to make and I a day filled with work . For tomorrow , I leave them in your hands ." said Aria then went to her room after seeing Ace nodding in agreement.

' Now then I better write to mr Flaubert about the blind date tomorrow . ' thought Aria then wrote a message to mr Flaubert.

Unexpectedly she received an immediate reply saying

' Aria , finally I was waiting ! Don't worry I have already arranged your meeting with the specialist doctor! About the date my son will come tomorrow at the hospital's cafeteria and wait for you there . Good night ms Aria ! '

" He sure is a unique father in his kind but at least he is thousand times better then mine . He is caring . " said Aria then went to sleep .

The next morning Aria woke up from the immense amount of noise her family was making .

" I always wondered how come they are so recharged every morning just like alarm clocks . Aghhhhh !!!!! " said Aria while covering her head with a pillow .

She wanted to continue her sleep but when she saw the time it was already ten o'clock and it was late .

She woke up and went straight in the bathroom to wash up and get ready for her blind date . The whole house had become a mess this morning .

When Aria was leaving the bathroom the doorbell rang and she saw some people who were wearing suits and understood that they were here from Bekora's orders .

" We will help you with the luggage and accompany you to the private jet . It takes some time to arrive there that's why we need to go now . " said one of the persons there .

He looked at Aria and when she nodded in sign of agreement he started to take the luggages . She did hear Bekora mention something in regard to their arrival but she wasn't paying much of attention to him because of work .

Aria's family was a bit surprised by this . She went downstairs and explained then . After the luggages were transported in the two cars they had taken with them it was time to say to greet .

" Bye everyone ! I love you so much . Have a safe flight ! We will see each other after three days ! " said Aria and hugged everyone before they left .

" Now that it is quiet I better prepare for the blind date ! Let's see how it goes ! " said Aria and then went to her room . While taking the stairs that lead in her room she noticed that the house was a true mess .

" It looks like there was a war here . I will clean it after I come back . " said Aria and hurried to get ready .
