" Did you just say that you were fat ?! " asked Helios with a smirk .

" No , I didn't ! Let's go inside . " said Aria and walked ahead .

" You walking ahead means that you are willing to pay the bill of today's lunch , right ?! " said Helios .

' With my parents here , I need to be extra careful with spending money on stupid things . ' thought Aria when thinking about the future daily expenses she would have .

" You can't afford it , can you ?! " said Helios with a devilish smirk when he saw her looking her with a pensive expression .

" Who says I don't dare ?! " said Aria without thinking twice .

" Fine then , I will make sure to order only the best today . " Helios with a smile .

" b....But still , you are the president . Shouldn't you be the one paying for this lunch ? " said Aria when she heard him say that .

" Just like you said I am the boss and you are my loyal employee . You should at least be able to do this much for your boss , right ?! " said Helios with a smirk .

" Yeah , right ! A loyal employee ! " said Aria trying to keep her anger inside her .

" Let's go ! " said Helios .

" Actually.....I am not feeling that hungry now . " said Aria .

" I never thought that I would hear that from you one day . " said Helios with a smirk .

Aria looked at him with a calm and serious expression but she didn't expect her stomach to make a huge noise .

" It seems like your stomach is telling you that he wants to eat . " said Helios .

" Hehehe.....I.....must have been too focused on work and forgot to eat . " said Aria with an embarrassed smile .

" Fine then ! I will pay , but since I will be the one paying , we will go where I decide . " said Aria .

Helios climbed the stairs and went near Aria looking at her with a satisfied expression .

" We are already here and there's no point in going to some lame restaurant . Follow your boss ! " said Helios with a chuckle and the two of them entered inside the giant castle-like restaurant .

After walking inside , Aria remained amazed at the paintings and the special architecture the place had . That castle , not only looked luxurious but also traditional and full of history . In the middle of those paintings , there was a painting that caught Aria's attention . She remained for a couple of minutes staring at the painting . Helios looked at her who was focused on the painting and went near her .

" The famous painting of Adam and Eva . " said Helios when he looked at the two people portraited in the painting .

" They were quite daring , weren't they ?! " said Helios .

" Yeah ! Two fools who would give up eternal life just to embrace each other . How can Eva be so sure that he won't betray her one day ?! How can she be so foolish and give up everything for Adam ?!... " said Aria with a serious expression when looking at the painting .

" Have you heard their complete story ? " asked Helios .

" I have learned it when I was in university . The story of Adam and Eva was concluded at the moment when they ate the forbidden fruit...they became mortals . Even though Eva became a powerful person , she still couldn't let go of her love for Adam . When she saw him with other girls , she tried her best to remain composed , cool, and a strong woman like she had always been but she couldn't always ignore his mistake and close an eye to them . " said Aria with a serious tone at the end of the sentence .

" What do you think about their love ?! " asked Helios .

" ....They.....are simply two idiots who couldn't wait to mate . Look at them , where they live . Such peace and tranquility ! Why in the world would I refuse an eternal life like that just for someone else . It makes me often wonder if love is as magical as it seems . " said Aria with a serious expression .

" Shouldn't you girls know the magic of love better than boys ?! " said Helios a bit confused .

" I don't know but I have seen some girl be the way that you just said . They looked like puppies . I have no intention of becoming a fool like that for a guy . It's a waste of time to stay here . Let's go in and have a good meal that can fill our stomachs . " said Aria with a noncaring expression and went ahead to the restaurant's entrance .

' This girl is the weirdest one among all . So unladylike ! ' thought Helios with a pleased smile .

When they walked inside , Aria looked at the sake and the beautiful chandelier hanging on the ceiling .

' Never in my life would I have thought that I would see such luxuries . I have been to fancy places but this one is really beyond expectation . ' thought Aria with an amazed expression .

Helios noticed the shiny look in Aria's eyes and went near her .

" Do you want to stay indoors or go to the balcony .

" Eiter way is fine ! " said Aria .

" I think we should stay indoors . It's a bit windy today . " said Helios and a waiter came in front of them .

" Welcome monsieur , mademoiselle ! " said the waiter .

" We would like a table indoors . " said Helios .

" Please do follow me . " said the waiter and the two of them followed him .

The waiter took them to a nice table that had red couches as chairs .

After they sat down the waiter gave them the menu .

" What would you like to order ?! " asked the waiter .

" I am craving for some seafood . I want spaghetti with seafood , thank you . " said Aria .

" Bring me a plate of seafood spaghetti too . Also , white wine . " said Helios and gave him the menu .

" Right away monsieur , mademoiselle ! " said the waiter and left to prepare the order .

Helios looked at Aria who kept looking the place around .

" Do you like this place ? " asked Helios .

" Yes ! It is really a beautiful place . I will make sure to bring my family here one day . " said Aria .

" It is beautiful but it is also expensive ." said Helios .

" I know ! But it doesn't matter . I will use my personal savings to bring them here , especially my mom . " said Aria .

" I have seen your mother for two times already and I think she is too harsh on you . Shouldn't she be a bit nicer to you since you are helping them financially ?! " asked Helios .

" I love my mother more than anything in this world . Even though she is harsh on me , she is like that because she worries about me . Back then when I went to France.... " said Aria and the waiter came bringing them their order .

" Here are the two spaghetti with seafood and your white wine . " said the waiter with a smile and poured the wine on their glases .

" Thank you ! " said Helios .

" My pleasure ! Bon appetite monsieur , mademoiselle ! " said the waiter then left .

" Then....what happened when you went to France ? " asked Helios .

" I....well , it doesn't matter much . My mom is always the type to worry too much for us . She is always worried about Aden too.....I can totally understand why she is harsh on me . I , too , am a bit reckless . " said Aria .

" A bit ?! " said Helios with a laugh .

" Okay , a lot ! " said Aria .

" You are saying that the worry that you cause your mother is compensated by doing house chores , right ?! " said Helios .

" Yes ! As long as it can make her less worried then I don't think it is bothersome . I really do hate house chores though . " said Aria while eating the spaghetti .

" I remember the time when you came to my house . Seriously , I have never seen anyone cook worse than you so or clean in a weird way that you do . " said Helios with a laugh .

" Although I hate to admit it , it is true . That's why , I will become a millionaire one day and hire a lot of workers to do the house chores . My family can also live a comfortable life that way . " said Aria with an encouraging smile .

" Then , what about you ? " said Helios a bit curious .

" Me ?! I admit that I wanna buy myself fancy cars and sports outfits . " said Aria but Helios stopped her .

" Shouldn't you say, fancy dresses and jewels ?! " said Helios .

" I don't want things like that . Those are really uncomfortable ! I like comfortable stuff . You boys may not understand it but being a girl is too hard . " said Aria .

" I have never seen someone like you who is so confident that she will become a millionaire . How will you do that ?! " asked Helios a bit intrigued .

he liked how confident she was but at the same time he was a bit worried over her carelessness .

" I will work hard and achieve my goal . That's the sole reason why I am studying so hard . " said Aria .

Helios looked at Aria with a serious expression then put the fork and spoon down .

" ....There's an easy way to get what you want . " said Helios .
