Chapter 212 Guests Arriving

"I will take a shower now, and later I will come down from my room." Aurora said as she started walking away from the kitchen.

"Okay, they will arrive at 6:30 pm, so you can come down at that time." Theo replied as he watched his sister exiting the kitchen.

Theo and Ayia continued cooking dinner while the snow descended upon Elffire City.

"Sylph, light up the living room's fireplace." Theo asked out loud.

One of the most used areas used by Theo and Aurora was the huge room on the ground floor where the kitchen, dining room, and living room were placed.

The three ambients were placed together without any partitions.

And Theo decided to have the party in this area as it was snowing outside and they could not be there because of the cold weather.

And the fireplace could give a cozy feeling to the guests who were arriving.

From the kitchen, Theo and Ayia saw the fireplace lighting up and they admired it with dreamy eyes.

The fireplace was one of the most beautiful features of the house as it seemed as if a huge tree was carved out and the fireplace was placed inside of the trunk.

When the time for the guests to arrive neared, Aurora descended from her bedroom.

She was dressed like Theo.

Blue jeans and a pink sweater that had a Kakashi image on the front of it.

The only difference from Theo was that she was wearing pink bear slippers.

Her hair was tied in a ponytail and she was wearing light makeup that highlighted her features.

If her classmates saw her now, they would be frozen in admiration at her beauty.

"Ready?" Theo asked with a smile when he saw her entering the kitchen.

"Yeah!" Aurora replied with another smile.

"Aurora-chan! That sweater is so cute! Is it from the merchandise that Theo is going to start selling?" Ayia exclaimed with shining eyes.

Last Monday, when she and Theo had a 'date', he gave her some products, but she did not see the pink sweater that Aurora was wearing.

"Oh, it is. When big brother got the sample products I took all the pink products." Aurora giggled as she gave a little spin to show the sweater.

She heard from her brother that he gave Ayia some products, so she immediately understood Ayia's doubt.

"That's not fair, Aurora-chan!" Ayia faked an angry shout.

But she could not act long enough and started giggling.

"I will empty the stocks of the store when the website opens tomorrow!" Ayia exclaimed with determination.

Theo and Aurora just laughed when they saw her antics.

The three of them were chatting happily when they heard Sylph's voice.

"Master, there are people at the door." Her lively voice sounded in the kitchen.

"Who?" Theo asked as he looked at the clock.

It was indeed the time he agreed with his friends.

As soon as he said that, the screen attached to the kitchen's wall lit up.

They could see 2 cars in front of the car gate as the shiny snow reflected the street lights.

"It is Samantha, Sayuri, Shizuka, and June." Sylph's voice replied.

"Oh, let them in." Theo replied when he heard that.

As soon as he said that, the three of them saw through the screen the car gate opening.

One car entered when the gate opened, but the other car didn't.

A long-legged stunning girl got out of the car and walked towards the walking gate.

Because Ayia came earlier driving her car, Shizuka decided to use the driver employed by the family to drive her to Theo's house.

If she didn't do that, Shizuka and Ayia would drive two cars when they went home later that night.

"Oh, Shizu-chan took a ride with the driver of the family manor." Ayia commented when she saw her sister getting out of the car.

"Sylph, open the other gate to Shizuka." Theo asked as he saw the girl walking through the white floor covered with snow.

Ayia had shining eyes as she observed the interaction between Theo and Sylph.

She wanted a Sylph for her too!

A while later, three women entered the kitchen.

Each of them was beautiful with its own characteristic features.

They were young but they exuded a feeling of maturity.

The blonde girl had deep blue eyes and a beautiful face, but she seemed to exude a confident feeling as she walked.

The short red-haired girl had a tomboy look, but her boyish style made her features even more beautiful.

The third woman did not look like a woman at all, she looked like a teenage girl. If someone looked at her for the first time, they would think she was a 15 yeard old girl. But even though she seemed young, she was the oldest of them all. But that did not diminish her beautiful features.

They were Samantha Walker, June Collins, and Haruno Sayuri.

And curiously, the three of them were big bosses under Theo.

Each of them was the boss of a company owned by Theo.

But even with their work relations, they still treated each other as close friends.

The three women valued Theo's friendship deeply.

They knew that it was their luck to meet such a great boss like Theo.

They would not be in the position of power they were without Theo believing in their work.

That's why they were deeply grateful for Theo's belief in them.

"Hey, girls!" Theo greeted them with a warm smile.

"Hey, Theo!" Sam smiled.

"Hey, boss!" June also smiled.

"I'm smelling something good, Theo!" Sayuri exclaimed as she sniffed the air around.

"Ayia-san! You arrived early!" June exclaimed when she saw Ayia cooking with Theo.

The other two girls' eyes lit up when they saw Ayia.

After Theo's public display of affection when he hugged Ayia in front of everyone in the kitchen of his restaurant, the word traveled fast.

Everyone enjoyed talking about juicy gossip.

And everyone had their ears tingling when they heard about Theo and Ayia.

Even though they respected Theo and Ayia's privacy and would not intrude on their relationship, that did not stop them from being curious.

So, when they saw Ayia arriving earlier, they could not help but get curious.

"Yeah, I figured that Theo would cook alone for all of us, so I came to help him." Ayia replied with a small smile.

The girls were a little disappointed that they could not get anything else from Ayia.

But it was at that moment that the sound of the elevator's doors opening came from the hall.

They looked back and a black-haired girl entered the room.

"Shizu-chan!" Ayia exclaimed happily as she waved for her sister to come to her.

"Hey, Shizuka." Theo greeted her.

"Big sister Shizuka!" Aurora also greeted her.

"Hey, guys!" Shizuka greeted everyone calmly with a small smile on her face.

She would not admit it openly, but little by little she was starting to enjoy their company.

She was starting to see them as close friends.

And that was an amazing feat because no one before aside from her family was able to make Shizuka see them as friends.

Theo and the girls were chatting happily as Theo and Ayia finished dinner when they heard Sylph's voice.

"Master. there are people at the door." The AI Butler said.

"It must be Kimiko and the rest." Ayia commented.

"Show us." Theo asked.

Shortly after, they saw through the screen at the side Kimiko, Lauren, Max, and the rest at the gate of the property.

"Let them in." Theo gave the order.

A while later, the rest of the guests arrived in the room.

Everyone greeted each other with happy smiles on their faces.

Being between friends was something that warmed their hearts on that cold night of snowy autumn.

But what night would have been reserved for this group of friends?
