The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective - Volume 2: Their Paths Cross Again Chapter 296 296: Another Bee

“The two of you. You are fired!”

The two guards didn’t expect to lose their jobs because of this incident. They begged Diana and asked her to give them a second chance but she was firm with her decision.

Mistake or not, she didn’t care. Diana fired them not because she totally believed Sandy’s story but because she knew how Erick was so mad and upset with the two guards.

She wanted to impress him and showed the others that she was the boss here. After fixing the situation, Diana’s socialite friends called her. They waited for several minutes.

Diana invited Erick’s team and Elle’s team to go inside the villa and come with her. Everyone entered Mondragon’s Villa. Others were amazed to see the surroundings inside. It looked like a combination of a resort and a hacienda.

There were pools, golf course, ranch, and a mini forest. The mansion was located in the heart of the villa. It took them a ten-minute drive to reach the house. If you are inside you wouldn’t think that it was located in the city but in the countryside instead.

You would feel very refreshed seeing the vast green area, flower gardens, and tall trees. No wonder, Senator Alex Mondragon’s advocacy focused on environmental protection.

Diana and her circle of friends were planning to do horseback riding today that’s why her friends were there with her. She asked them to go first while she would entertain Erick’s team and the reporters.

“Please sit down first. I will call Dad and inform him that you are here.” Diana said to them.

Diana excused herself to them.

“Unfortunately, April and Rose didn’t come with us today. I am sure they will be happy to see this place. So wonderful!” June commented.

“Yeah, the scenery is so beautiful.” Bryan agreed with him.

Meanwhile Josh and Sandy were peering the enormous house. They couldn’t help but admire the interior design wherein they felt like they were in a medieval period.

On the other hand, Erick’s attention was fixed to the lady sitting beside him. He held her arm, checking if she was hurt or got some bruises after the guard dragged her a while ago.

Erick was still enraged every time he would remember that scene.

“Chief Lee what are you doing?” Elle said awkwardly as she watched Erick checking her arm.

Erick heaved a sigh of relief when he made sure that she was not hurt. He ignored her question as he rubbed her arm.

Elle didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Erick’s overprotectiveness was to the highest level.

“Chief Lee this is so awkward. Can you stop doing that?” Elle said to him in a low voice.

Erick complied as he heard that.

“Are you sure you’re just fine?” Erick asked her worriedly.

“Yeah. Thank you. I really appreciate your action.”

‘If you didn’t interfere then I might have beat that guard already.’ Elle wanted to add but she just kept it in her mind.

“You don’t have to thank me. It’s my responsibility to protect you.” Erick said in a very serious tone.

When Sandy saw Erick and Elle sitting together, she immediately sat down in between them, pushing Erick aside. The two were startled by Sandy’s sudden action.

‘This girl really knows when to ruin the moment.’ Elle sighed helplessly at that thought.

After a while, Diana went back.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. Dad is still in an important meeting. It will take time before he can go home.” Diana informed them.

“Miss Aliyah and Miss Sandy, I think you can go back next time. Don’t worry I will personally set the schedule for your interview with my Dad.” Diana reassured them.

“Okay, Miss Diana. We understand.” Sandy replied to her. She was a little bit disappointed. After that trouble a while ago, in the end, they couldn’t do the interview with Senator Mondragon.

Then Diana turned to Erick.

“Chief Lee, you and your team can wait for Dad. I will accompany you for a while until he comes back. You can also share with me the updates of my father’s case.” Diana said to him with a charming smile on her face.

Elle frowned after hearing that.

‘Wait, something is not right here. She wants us to leave but let Erick’s team stay. What a biased treatment?’

“Do you want a tour with the villa? We can do that as we wait for Dad.” Diana suggested to Erick’s team.

“Yes, we love that!” June promptly responded. His eyes were brimming with excitement.

Elle couldn’t tolerate this. At first, she wanted to turn a blind eye but this was too much. Diana was clearly showing her interest in Erick. Diana’s secret motive didn’t escape Elle’s observant eyes.

Elle had observed how Diana’s attitude changed every time she would talk to him. How her blue eyes lingered on Erick’s face with so much admiration.

“! There’s another ‘Bee’ here.” Elle mumbled.

“Huh? What Bee?” Sandy asked her confusedly.

Elle didn’t answer. She just remained silent, thinking.

“Ali, let’s go,” Sandy said as she stood up.

Erick felt disappointed. He didn’t want to be separated again with Elle. He wanted to spend more time with her. It’s been three days since he hadn’t seen her. He missed her so much. Elle was also avoiding his calls for the past three days.

That’s why he was glad to see her there. He thought he would be able to talk to her. He wanted to confront her and asked her the reason why she was ignoring him for these past three days.

“Hey, Ali? What are you waiting for? Don’t just sit there. Come here. We are leaving!” Sandy called her out once again.

Elle finally stood up but she didn’t take a step.

“We are not leaving,” Elle said firmly.

Everyone looked at Elle strangely.

“What do you mean, Miss Aliyah?” Diana was the one who asked her.

“Miss Diana, I am sorry. But we must do this interview today. That’s why we can’t leave. We will also wait for Senator Mondragon. This doc.u.mentary program is also very important. It can also help boost Senator Mondragon’s popularity.”

Elle paused for a moment as she gave Sandy and Josh a warning look that says ‘Don’t talk. Just let me handle this.’

Sandy: “…”

Josh: “…”

“We also have deadlines. And next week our schedules are full. If we can’t do this today then there will be no more opportunities. Our manager might also give up this program and just let us feature another person. I think he is also planning to feature another presidential candidate.”

“So Miss Diana, will you let us stay and wait, or do you want us to just…leave?” Elle asked Diana as she gave her a meaningful look.

‘This girl! I can’t figure out what she is planning to do here? She is obviously spouting nonsense. What a good liar!’ Sandy thought to herself as she looked at Elle with disbelief.

But Sandy just kept quiet and played along with her. She didn’t have the heart to reveal her friend’s lie in front of these people.

Meanwhile, Diana was also hesitant to make them stay. She just thought of them as mere reporters who were not worthy to be her guests. Erick’s team was the only one she wanted to accommodate.

‘Well, my father does not need this program anyway. He is already famous enough. He is the strongest candidate and quite popular with the people. Does this girl think I care about this doc.u.mentary program? She is wrong about that.’

Diana was about to say no when Erick suddenly spoke up.

“I think Senator Mondragon is already popular. Others would think that doing this doc.u.mentary program is not necessary.”

Diana couldn’t suppress her smile after hearing Erick. They were thinking about the same thing.

On the other hand, Elle was taken aback by Erick’s statement. Her face became frosty as she shot him a sharp glare.

‘Erick Lee! Are you betraying me?! You also want me to leave so that you can flirt with this princess?! How dare you oppose me!’

Elle was trying her best to control her anger when Erick spoke up once again.

“Senator Mondragon is very humble I guess this time he needs to step up and flaunt to the people all the good things he did in the past. All his accomplishments. So this doc.u.mentary program is also not a bad thing. What do you think, Miss Diana? Do you agree with me?”

K.O!

Since Erick already shared his thoughts Diana had no other choice but to let the reporters stay or else it would look like she didn’t agree with Erick’s statement. She didn’t want to look bad nor oppose Erick’s idea.
