The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Who would have thought that Elle and Erick would still be able to date during this surveillance operation? Erick thought that spending an equivalent amount of his one month salary was all worth it.

Every smile that he could see in Elle's face and every second he spent with her were all priceless. He couldn't contain the happiness he felt as of this moment.

However, they were not there just to enjoy the day. They had a purpose. They were there to accomplish a mission. And it was time to make their moves.

Elle and Erick received a cue from Carl. He was about to do the first scenario. A few seconds after they got the signal from Carl, a loud voice could be heard in the hallway just outside their Hotel room.

That angry authoritative voice came from Carl. He was currently scolding the hotel staff who was assigned to deliver food in his room.

"I couldn't believe that the staff here are very clumsy and careless! See… you ruined my thousand-dollar suit!"

"How will you pay for it, huh? And the food you served! [email protected]! Are you planning to poison me? How dare you serve me food with c.o.c.kroaches floating in the soup?!" Carl continued lashing out at the poor hotel staff.

"Call your owner! I want to talk to him, right now!"

'Sorry, dear. I have to do this.' Carl thought to himself, feeling guilty towards the staff who was being roasted by his fake anger.

Carl was the one who intentionally bumped into the hotel stuff thus staining his suit with the red wine. He was also the one who put dead c.o.c.kroaches on the soup.

The hotel staff was looking so tense and problematic right now. He thought that he might lose his job today. He was just silently looking down, accepting every angry word Carl threw at him.

All he could do was to apologize to their 'VIP guest' while praying that he would not get fired today.

After a while, the hotel manager arrived.

"Sir, please calm down. We are sorry about this. We will try our best to compensate you. We also investigate our kitchen staff for what happened today." The manager tried to appease Carl.

"Call your hotel owner. I heard he is here. I want to talk to him. Do you think just a mere manager could solve this issue?" Carl insisted on seeing their big boss.

The hotel manager was reluctant after hearing Carl's demand.

"Sorry, sir... Mr. Sy is quite busy today. He sent me here to fix this problem." The manager said.

'Miss Aliyah was right. They won't allow their Big Boss to be hassled by this.' Carl thought to himself.

That's the time Elle came out of her hotel room. Erick was behind her. He was wearing a mask and a cap, pretending that he was her cameraman.

"What's happening here?" Elle asked them curiously.

"Oh, I am glad that another hotel guest is here. May I know your name, Miss? I want you to be my witness. I want to make a complaint about their hotel services." Carl said, moving closer to Elle.

"I am Aliyah Ross, a reporter from Morning Star Media Network. What's the problem here, sir?" Elle emphasized that she was a reporter.

"Wow….that's nice. I am Carlos Russell, the CEO of the largest Telecom Company at City K. I came here in City Z for a business meeting. I didn't expect that the famous five-star hotel in this City has bad services. I am quite disappointed."

"Miss Aliyah, can you do me a favor? You are a reporter, right? Why don't you write an article about their bad services? I am willing to be interviewed by you. I think this is a big scope for you." Carl said with his sly smirk.

Carl pulled her towards the food cart. "See this, Ms. Ross. There are c.o.c.kroaches in the food that they served to me. I can forgive the clumsiness of their staff for ruining my suit but this one is unforgivable."

The hotel manager felt alarmed after hearing that. It seemed that their VIP guest won't just accept their apology and compensation. He wanted to ruin the name and reputation of their hotel.

"Sir please, let's talk this out first. We are willing to compensate you." The manager said desperately, trying to convince Carl.

"Talk? Hmm… I will only talk to your hotel owner! If not, then I will let the country know about this incident. Miss Aliyah, could you please help me with that?"

Before Elle could respond, the hotel manager butted in.

"Alright sir, come with me. I will bring you to Mr. Sy's office."

Carl and Elle exchanged meaningful glances with one another. Their first move was a success.

"Alright! But the reporter will have to come with us." Carl said, secretly winking at Erick and Elle.

"Alright, sir. No problem." The hotel manager replied promptly.

Soon, the four of them headed to Samuel Sy's office. When they were about to enter the room, Elle halted on her steps. She didn't know if she could maintain her cool once she saw Samuel Sy.

'I think tagging along with them is not a good idea. What if I suddenly break down again once I see him?'

Elle wanted to turn and walk away. She clenched her fists. She was afraid of what she might do during this face to face.

Erick noticed the troubled expression of Elle. He knew she was hesitating and worrying about something.

Suddenly, Elle felt strong arms holding her waist from behind. It was Erick. Then she heard him whisper something to her ear.

"Don't be afraid. I am here with you." Erick murmured to her.

His words immediately washed away her worries. His presence gave her a sense of security. She felt very safe.

Because of that, Elle found her courage to take a step. She had nothing to worry about. She wouldn't let her demon overpower her as long as Erick was with her. Finally, she entered the room, feeling at ease.
