' Dangers ?!......Form one corner of my heart , I always wanted to have a bit of an adventure for myself . Looking at his serious expresison , he is clearly telling me that I may encounter unpleasant situations . He also talked about betrayal......What happens to those who commit such a ting ?!.....Does he get rid of them completely or allows them to live a life of misery ?!.....I am not sure but I can tell for certain that this guy is not the type to forgive such a thing as betrayal...........He said that this is an important job . I am sure that he wouldn't ask for a truce and discuss this with me before including me in it if this job wasn't dangerous or difficult . What makes me doubt his words is the fact that he needs someone like me . I have no power , no diploma , no money and no social circle . I have a lot of abilities but not the necessary abilities that a billionaire like him needs . ' thought Aria with a serious expression .

" Can I ask you something , first ?! " said Aria .

" Please do ! As long as it isn't information related to the job then I am glad to answer . " said Helios .

" Why are you telling me this ? I mean.....why are you asking me to join your group ?! You are a billionaire who has much more talented people around you . It's not like you lack resources . I can even say that you may be able to gather the geniuses of all the world to join you and help you . Why are you specifically choosing me , a simple girl who has left university , to aid you with such an important task ?! I really don't understand it . " said Aria .

Helios looked at Aria and smiled lightly . It was normal for her to feel as if there was something fishy in this matter . She was an ordinary and naive girl who didn't mix herself with unnecessary matters nor tried to put her nose where it didn't belong . After months that the two of them spent together , Helios became sure that Aria would be loyal but at the same time be a big help to him .

" True ! There's a pool of people who are much better than you and waiting for me but those people are really sneaky . They can help me from the surface while sneakily taking the information and spreading it around behind my back . I don't trust them . " said Helios .

" Doe that mean you trust me ?! " said Aria with a surprised expression .

" I have told you before that I trust you when we were at my villa . " said Helios .

" I.....thought that it was only superficial trust . " said Aria .

" I hate to admit it but you are a pretty good ally . " said Helios .

" Ohh ! I should have recorded that phrase . " said Aria and the both of them laughed lightly .

" Okay ! Seriously speaking , I know that you are not the type of person to betray others , even though you like money . You may not have graduated but you didn't graduate because you didn't want to but because you choose the happiness of your loved ones over yours . Such a person......is hard to find . Although you aren't perfect , I am sure that the upcoming difficulties will help you become the person you truly aim to be . Also.....Who said that you can't help me ?......You are naively stupid but you are smart when it comes to law and other matters . You are quite handy too . Having someone like you would make me feel much more at ease than having some of those so-called geniuses . " said Helios .

" I really didn't expect to hear this from you . " thought Aria without even realizing that she spoke it out loud .

" Pffffftttt ! This is precisely why you are the more qualified . You can't even lie properly . " said Helios as Aria looked at him a bit annoyed .

" So , what do you say ?! It's a good deal , isn't it ?! " said Helios .

" Will the reward be satisfying and worth the risk ?! " asked Aria with half a smile .

" Even more than satisfying , once everything is finished that is ." said Helios with a smile .

" Okay ! I agree ! " said Aria with a smile .

Helios was surprised to see her agree so easily . After all the danger that he told her, she would face , she still agreed in a careless way with a relaxed smile .

" Why are you looking at me like that ?! Didn't you hope that I would agree ? " asked Aria .

" I hoped but....I wanted to be fully sure that you really agree . I am telling you that this is not a joke but serious business . " said Helios .

" I know how to make the difference between important stuff and nonimportant stuff . " said Aria .

" Good ! Since you agreed , there's no way you can back off now . " said Helios .

" I am not the type of scared girl that would run away from her responsibilities . " said Aria and ate another spoon of spaghetti .

' That's why I choose you ! I don't need someone who clings to me but someone who helps me . ' thought Helios with a smile .

" I have a condition though.... " said Aria whose facial expression became serious .

" What condition ? " said Helios a bit curious when he saw her so serious .

" Whatever happens or whatever danger that we may face , my family must remain untouched . That is the only thing that I request . " said Aria with a serious tone leaving the spoon down and crossing her hands .

Helios remained silent as he looked at her . He knew that it wouldn't be easy and his enemies may even try to hurt her . If Aria were to join the group , she would inevitably become a target of the enemy and the enemy would likely use her family to threaten her .

" Mr Castejo ! Despite your offer being very tempting.....No ! I even dare call myself stupid for refusing such a good offer but......I will never accept if my family isn't safe . I don't care if I have to work all my life , without achieving my dream , as long as my family is safe and living happily with me . For as far as you have known me , you know that I am a person who cherishes her family , even though it isn't a perfect one . " said Aria .

' Cherishes it ?!....Really.....Where does all this love of hers come from ?.....Her family is only a big trouble on her shoulder and a hindrance to her career . Someone who has the possibility to shine , refuses such a chance for people who aren't worth it.......What have they done for her that she has such a big obligation towards them ?!.......It's been so long since I last remember my parents being affectionate towards me . After that incident , they only look at me coldly . From that moment , I was left alone to face things that were too much to bear for a child . Heh......I can't understand her . I want to know where this love of hers comes from . They were cold to me but thanks to them I was born in a world filled with jewels and richess . A world that was destroyed by that damn Karen !.......What do I say to her ?! Do I lie to her ?!...... ' thought Helios with a troubled expresison .

He didn't want to tell her that her family wouldn't be in danger but at the same time, he couldn't bring himself to tell her that the risk for them was high .

" They will be safe ! Don't worry ! " said Helios with a fake smile .

' I will make sure they are well protected . ' thought Helios .

" If that's so , I will join you . Tell me what I have to do and I will do it . " said Aria with a smile .

" You seem strangely happy . " said Helios .

" Of course I am ! I was afraid of my family being involved but , knowing that they won't be involved , I am happy to have the chance and do something about myself . The prize that you offered is very satisfying . " said Aria enjoying her dish .

" Good to hear that , miss Sarehan ! " said Helios with a smirk .

After talking things throught , Helios and Aria continued to enjoy their meal . When they finished , Aria looked at her phone and noticed that it was time to go back to work .

" It's almost time for the lunch break to end . I need to go back to work . " said Aria .

" Let's go to the company then . " said Helios with a smile .

The waiter came to their table with the bill in his hands . Helios opened his jacket to get hos wallet but Aria took the bill from the waiter's hands and looked at it . She opened her wallet and gave the waiter the payment for their lunch along with the bill .

" Here you are ! The food was delicious . " said Aria with a polite tone and smile .

" Thank you miss for your compliment ! " said the waiter with a smile .
