The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective - Volume 2: Their Paths Cross Again Chapter 285 285: We Meet Again

Elle was in a bad mood when she arrived at their office this morning. She was still fuming in rage as jealousy filled her heart. She could still vividly remember the scene she had witnessed last night.

After her work yesterday, she decided to see Erick at the headquarters. She knew that Erick was always going home late. She learned that after following him for these past two weeks.

She was waiting for him outside their headquarters, hiding from a corner, when Erick and Selena appeared at the entrance of the building.

Selena became more charming and pretty since she last saw her. She was cheerfully conversing with Erick. Though Erick’s expression was neutral, he was acting like a gentleman when he opened the glass door for her.

Erick was about to go separate ways with Selena when suddenly Selena grabbed his arm to stop him. Elle’s face darkened when she saw Selena’s hand on Erick.

She had the urge to run in between them and yank his arm away from Selena. Fortunately, she was able to restrain herself from doing that.

Elle had just calmed herself down when Selena did something that put Elle on the verge of bursting in fury. Selena kissed Erick on his right cheek.

Elle clenched her fists as she watched that scene with her bloodshot eyes. A murderous aura was emanating around her. Her eyes were clouded by hatred, anger, and jealousy.

Trying her best to control her raging fury, Elle saw the trash bin which was made of steel beside her. Wanted to vent her anger, Elle kicked the trash bin very hard, producing a loud sound that caught the attention of the two persons.

When she heard the footsteps coming in her direction Elle realized her mistake. Erick was now walking towards her. Felt alarmed that she might get caught, Elle quickly ran and left as fast as she could.

Though she was itching to tell him that she’s alive Elle couldn’t reveal to him that she was Elle. Catseye and Elle were both dead in the eyes of everyone.

It was better to leave it that way. She didn’t want to put Erick in a difficult situation just like before where he needed to choose between love and duty.

She didn’t want to become his burden nor a source of guilt by trying to protect her in the authorities. She didn’t want him to face a difficult decision once again where he would be forced to catch his own wife for the sake of his duty and responsibility as a man of justice.

After she got separated from him, Elle realized that life is too short just to waste her time being punished for her crimes. Because she knew that if she remained Elle then Erick would have to catch her and put her into prison.

She was not a saint nor an angel. She was not also a self-righteous person who would always choose the right thing. This time she wanted to be selfish in a positive way. To have a fresh start with Erick while having her new identity as Aliyah Ross.

Elle was gone but Aliyah appeared to make a comeback to his life. She wanted to do it after finishing her last mission but now it was impossible.

Elle couldn’t stand to see other women trying to covet her man. Her flower was very beautiful that it attracted a lot of bees. Elle smiled from that thought. Did she just compare Erick to a flower?

It’s been two weeks since she returned to City Z. For these past few weeks, she had been watching Erick from a distance. She missed him a lot. It took her two years to come back because of her medical condition.

The day she bumped into him at RC Convention Center was really unexpected. It was pure coincidence. She had no idea that Erick and his team would be there. She was there as Aliyah Ross, doing her job as a professional reporter.

She had not prepared mentally for that surprise encounter, that’s why she almost blew her cover and made a mistake when Erick suddenly hugged her.

She was yearning to be wrapped again in his strong arms so subconsciously she hugged him back. Her heart ached for him when she saw his tears. There was a gleam of longing and sadness flashing in his dark brown eyes.

She was not able to control herself. She immediately wiped his tears and she almost called him Mr. Detective when she was trying to comfort him.

“Mr. Handsome. Don’t cry, I am not dead…yet!”

Those were the words that her mind could come up at that moment as she wanted to ease his pain and sorrow. Deep inside she was glad. She was afraid that Erick had already moved on and had forgotten her.

But seeing him acting like that, she found out that Erick was still thinking about her. She was wondering if Erick had suffered a lot for these past two years because of her absence. Because if he did, then Elle had a lot of things to do to make it up for him.

With a resolution in mind, Elle stood up from her cubicle and proceeded to their Line Manager’s office. She needed to make a move or else her man might be stolen from her by another woman.

Several minutes later, Elle left their superior’s office with a bright smile on her face. She immediately approached Sandy who was talking to Josh, their assigned cameraman.

“Oh, Ali! Where have you been?” Sandy asked her as soon as she saw her.

“From our manager’s office,” She simply replied to her.

“Hmm. It seems like you are now in a good mood. Your expression is now a little bit better compared to this morning. You looked like you’ve eaten a lot of bitter gourds when you arrived. You were wearing a bitter and ugly expression. Hahaha.” Sandy didn’t forget to tease her.

Elle rolled her eyes skyward. ‘Her blabbering mouth is much worse than to someone I know. If she has just an idea of what I did to those people who irritated me before, using their talkative mouth, I bet she wouldn’t dare to tease me like this.’

Then Elle suddenly remembered Charles. ‘I wonder how he is doing now. Is he living just fine? I missed him too.’

“Hey, penny for your thoughts. You are spacing out again Miss Ross. What are you thinking?” Sandy said as she waved her hands in front of Elle’s face.

Josh just looked at Sandy helplessly. He somehow pitied Aliyah for having a partner like Sandy who had no break when it comes to speaking. Truly, she’s worthy of being a reporter. This job suited her well.

With her remaining patience, Elle just ignored Sandy’s teasing. Then she raised the doc.u.ment in her hand.

“Good news! We got a new assignment!” Elle said to them cheerfully.

Sandy immediately snatched the paper in Elle’s hand. She scanned it for a few seconds. After that, her expression changed.

“What is this? DOC.U.MENTARY? No Aliyah! I will not do this! It’s too boring! This is what I hated most!” Sandy complained to her. Now, she was acting like a spoiled brat princess.

“Whether you like it or not, I will do this.”

Without allowing her to voice out another objection, Elle signaled Josh to bring his camera. They would go somewhere. Sandy had no choice but to follow them.

After the twenty minutes drive, Elle, Sandy, and Josh were now standing in the entrance building of the XXX Crime Investigation Bureau.

“Eh? What the hell are we doing here? Josh, did you put the wrong address in your car’s GPS?” Sandy said exasperatedly.

“This is the address instructed to me by Ali!” Josh replied to her as he scratched the back of his head.

Sandy turned to Elle. “Ali, we are supposed to feature Senator Mondragon in this assignment so please enlighten me why we are here in a Crime Investigation Headquarters instead of Mondragon’s residence?”

Elle just smiled and shrugged at her. Then she entered the building without waiting for them.

Meanwhile, Erick and his team were currently having a meeting at his office when they heard a knock outside the door.

“Come in!”

After a few seconds, the door was opened and a slender figure of a woman came into their view. The moment she entered that room everyone was stupefied.

“Holy Sh!t”

“Am I seeing a ghost!”

“!”

“Catseye?!”

“Hello. We meet again!” Elle said as her eyes lingered on Erick’s face.
