" Still , mr Helios ! As a father and a man , I find it very hard to believe that you would come here only for the project . " said Karl looking at him with a fierce look .

    " Dear ! " said Kejt , pulling her husband''s shirt as he looked at Helios with an angry expression .

    Helios looked at the balcony and found it troublesome that Aria and Florence were taking so much time to finish their talk .

    " I need to use the toilet for a bit . " said Helios and got up .

    When Kejt entered , she looked at all the rooms and even the kitchen and toilet .

    " I will show you the way ." asked Kejt in a polite tone and was about to get up .

    " No need madam ! I know where it is ! " said Helios with a polite smile .

    " Ou.......Okay then ! "said Kejt surprised and helios got up then went to the bathroom .

    The bathroom was near the balcony and he was curious to know what was taking Florence and Aria so long . In reality, just eight minutes had passed but to Helios, it felt like more than half an hour . He decided to go to the bathroom to see what they were up to .

    '' Is that bastard thinking of something weird ?!.....If he is , I will kick his ass and throw him from the balcony , that way he won''t disturb the little tigress and he won''t start working for my grandmother ! Kill two birds with a stone !......That evil aunt of mine is already enough of a headache . I don''t need other headaches ! '' thought Helios with a serious expression .

    In the meantime at the balcony , Aria and Florence were looking at the dark sky filled with shiny stars . They would often peek at each other and at the same time they were a bit reluctant to talk .

    " There are a lot of stars in the sky , it seems like it will be a good day tomorrow ! " said Florence with a smile .

    The petal roses , the candles, and the other decorations that Florence prepared caught Aria''s eyes from up the balcony .

    '' He has put so much effort into all this . I feel so bad that I have to say no........I don''t have the courage to say no !.....He is an extremely good guy and I like him a lot but not to the point to be with him in a romantic way......What should I do ?!....... '' thought Aria with a sad and troubled expression .

    " What''s wrong ?! " asked Florence when he saw Aria''s face sad .

    " It''s just......Florence I.......... " said Aria with a forced tone .

    " Shhhh !!!...... Listen to me first ! " said Florence with a smile as he placed his finger on Aria''s lips .

    " Aria , I like you ! No, I love you ! From the first moment we met, I thought you were interesting . Spending time with you has been fun . I haven''t had fun in a while due to my job . Don''t take me wrong , I love my job and taking care of people but I don''t really have any real fun . " said Florence with a smile .

    " I know ! That''s what makes you shine so bright and be so amazing . " said Aria with a warm smile .

    " Anyway........Mmmmmm...... You are smart , cute , kind , generous . I am extremely lucky to have met you . To have fallen for you...........I...I wish to be with you . " said Florence .

    " ..........Florence , I.... " said Aria with difficulty . She felt like she was suffocating right now .

    " Also........I have another confession to make ! " said Florence as he took a deep breath .

    " I........The day we got drunk........i......kissed you in a passionate way . I...my feelings took over my reason and I was a bit drunk too since I found the courage to kiss you...the point is , I kissed you without your permission and I am extremely sorry for what happened . Please believe me when I tell you that I love you with all my heart . Please be my girlfriend Aria !.......No ! Please be my wife ! " said Florence and bowed his head in front of her .

    '' He...He did what ?!...We kissed ?!...Damn ! I don''t remember anything ! '' thought Aria with a troubled expression .

    She was a bit mad that he had kissed her without his permission but at the same time she felt a bit relieved because she believed that she had repaid his affection towards her .

    '' I will never owe anyone anything in my life , the same goes for feelings . His love , his affection..........I would like to believe that it is repaid just like in fairytales...He was sincere enough to admit his mistake . If it was another guy , he would act as if he did nothing . '' thought Aria with a smile .

    " Aria.........Are you angry ?! " said Florence with a reluctant tone thinking whether it was good to ask her or not .

    " I am not ! " said Aria with a smile then took his hand and looked right at his eyes .

    " Thank you for this beautiful surprise and for all the other things that you have done to me . I like you too Florence but........like and love aren''t the same . I like you.....only as a friend . " said Aria with a serious expression .

    " Aria..... " said Florence then Aria held his hands tighter .

    " Please listen to me ! " said Aria and he nodded his head .

    " You are one of the few friends that are kind to me . Although I may be a cheerful girl , I must confess that.......I don''t have a lot of friends . For most of my life, I have been studying and working only . I haven''t been out much and I don''t have any experience with guys . This situation is a bit difficult for me . " said Aria .

    " ......Even if you don''t know anything , we will learn it together step by step . trust me ! I will never let you down ! " said Florence with a determined tone .

    " Dating and love.........are a luxury to me ! I don''t have the time to even think of it let alone do it . Even if it were someone else I would still refuse them because I.....don''t have time , nor do I wanna be in a relationship before achieving what I want . you said it yourself , that you know me well.........I am sure that you knew what I would say even before you decided to prepare all this . " said Aria with a smile .

    Florence looked right into Aria''s brown eyes and smiled in a defeated way .

    '' .........She is right !........I am a kind person , a genius surgeon , a noble winner doctor , a wealthy young man who''s handsome too........with all these , I hoped inside me that maybe the answer might change . I knew it..... that she would refuse me . My heart was prepared for it but......somewhere deep in my heart.......I hoped with all my might that something may change between us . That we could be something more than simple friends . I guess.........I didn''t take into consideration the fact that she was too focused on creating a stable career for herself . She has worked so hard , if she were to focus only on love , she would lose her concentration . She is someone who would put her all even in a relationship.....rather than her career , there seems to be another reason behind this . she doesn''t seem worried........she seems a bit scared every time love is mentioned . '' thought Florence with a serious expression .

    " Are you sure that.......this is all ?! " asked Florence .

    " ....Yes !....You are successful and don''t understand what I am saying . You were born and raised by rich and kind people then you became even more successful yourself . You didn''t exactly start everything from scratch because your father helped you a lot . I haven''t received any help at all and started from zero to arrive where I am . I can''t let my hard work crumble more than it already has Florence . As fellows of great minds which think alike , you definitely understand the meaning behind my words . " said Aria with a smile .

    Florence realized that there wasn''t any room left for a positive answer . Although he felt his hopes crushing and his heart aching a little , he looked at her in a warm way, and tried to smile despite feeling hurt .

    " Hmmmm.............You seem to be more relieved . Is it because I told you that I kissed you and you used that to lessen your conscience after hurting me ?! " said Florence with a smirk .

    Aria understood that he was trying to cheer her up and smiled at him .

    " Well , I said that a kiss is something important , at least for me !.........I wouldn''t kiss anyone easily , you know ! " said Aria with a smile .

    " You broke my heart and mended only half of it with that kiss........Since you broke it , you should fix the whole heart , not only half ! " said Florence with a smirk and looked at Aria''s red cheeks .

    " What ?! " said Aria surprised .

    At that time Helios was behind the door of the balcony . He didn''t approach too much because he was afraid that he would be discovered .

    '' Damn ! I can''t hear a damn thing no matter how much I try ! '' thought Helios with an annoyed expression .

    He looked at the window of the balcony again and saw Aria and Florence hugging each other in a loving way . Helios opened his eyes wide from the surprise and gritted his teeth with anger .
