The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

It was already late morning when Elle woke up. Supremo let her sleep all her wants. Because she got enough sleep she was feeling better now.

Supremo took care of everything this morning. Though he didn't know how to cook he still prepared breakfast for Elle. He did that by buying food in a restaurant near Elle's apartment.

He was glad that Elle looked very well now. She was not pale and her color went back to normal. However, she still had the cough. 

Supremo and Elle ate breakfast together. She looked at him worriedly. She could tell that Supremo stayed up all night by just looking at the dark circles under his eyes.

"You should go to your place and sleep. You look like a big panda now with those big eyebags." Elle said, trying to start a conversation with him.

Supremo just let out a husky laugh for her teasing words.

"It's alright. I am still handsome. Just a few dark circles could not make me less attractive, you know." Supremo said to her with a cheeky smile.

Elle rolled her eyes exasperatedly due to his arrogance.

"Whatever." Elle shrugged her shoulders and just continued eating.

Supremo erupted into another peal of laughter. He also missed her annoyed expression.

After their breakfast, Supremo stayed at her place for a while. He was reluctant to leave her. He still wanted to spend more time with her. 

Though Elle was always bringing up the topic of sending him off, Supremo just ignored her. He was treating Elle's apartment as his own place. 

He even asked his right hand man to bring him a set of clothes at Elle's apartment. The man was surprised to know that Supremo headed straight at Elle's apartment instead of going to his own place.

Upon giving Supremo the clothes, his subordinate immediately left Elle's place.

Elle got tired of convincing him to leave so she just let him be. Besides, she knew how much of a stubborn fellow he really was. 

It was already noon time when Supremo decided to take a shower first. It did not take long when Elle the buzzing sound of her doorbell. 

Elle thought that the person outside might be Sandy. In her mind, she was thinking that Sandy dropped by her apartment to make sure that she's just fine.

Without further ado, Elle approached her main door and opened it. But the sight that came into her view outside made Elle freeze on her spot, eyes wide open and her mouth gape.

'ERICK??? F*ck! What is he doing here… why come today?!'

Elle's mind started to panic. Her body immediately released cold sweats, her racing heart was very loud in her ears. She's very nervous and uneasy. 

Reflexively, she turned to look inside, checking whether Supremo was in the back. She sighed inwardly when she didn't see his figure.

Meanwhile, Erick was silently observing Elle's strange behaviour. Her expression was also weird. 

"How are-" Erick was about to ask her when Elle suddenly spoke up thus interrupting him.

"What are you doing here?"

Erick frowned after hearing her. She sounded like she was not happy to see him right now. 

'Is she still mad at me?' Erick pondered as he remembered her attitude towards him yesterday.

Erick was clueless about what Elle was thinking. He misinterpreted it. Elle was not mad at him nor unhappy to see him. She just felt like she was a wife who was about to get caught by her husband cheating with another man.

'No! No! I'm not cheating. Erick is the only man I love.' Elle mumbled to herself as she corrected her prior thoughts.

"I received the article you wrote that's the reason why I came here." Erick lied.

The reason why he dropped by her apartment was to check on her. He heard that she was sick.

'Forget that [email protected] Article! Why do you have.to come today just because of that?' Elle lamented inwardly.

Elle was contemplating whether to send him off or not. She couldn't let him in and talk about that article. Erick must not know that there was another guy right now inside her apartment because of several reasons.

First, Erick didn't need to see the guy in her apartment right now or else she would not know how she would explain to him her relationship with Supremo.

Second, Erick was a very jealous man. Though he already believed that she was not Elle, she couldn't afford Erick to misunderstand everything. Well...not for now. She's not yet ready for that.

A deep frown creased on Erick's handsome face. He was waiting for Elle to invite him inside, but instead of doing that, she pulled the door closer to block his view inside her apartment.

Elle also noticed Erick's suspicious look. She cursed herself inwardly. She couldn't invite him inside and at the same time she didn't want to send him away.

With a resolution in mind, Elle grabbed Erick's hand as she stepped outside, closing the door behind.

Erick looked at her in confusion. 'What is she trying to do?'

Without saying a word, Elle dragged Erick away from her apartment's door.

"Did you bring your car?" Elle asked him, continuously pulling him.

Erick didn't protest as he followed her lead. "Yes, I do."

"Great, let's go somewhere." Elle said.

Then suddenly Erick halted on his steps, also stopping Elle. When she gazed up she saw Erick peering at her from top to bottom.

"Are you going to go out with those clothes on?" Erick said unhappily while raising his brows.

Elle was just wearing white plain shirts and shorts that exposed her long flawless legs. At her foot, she was wearing her comfy faux fur home slippers.

Elle bit her lower lip. 'I don't care about my get-up as long as we get out of here quickly, that's what really matters to me.'

Elle faced him putting her arms to the sides of her waist. "What's wrong with my clothes? Detective Lee! Don't be so picky. This is called Fashion! My Fashion Style!"

"Besides, don't you find me cute and attractive with these?" Elle added. She put on a pitiful face while pouting at him with her beautiful puppy eyes look.

Erick: "..."
