The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

On the same night, Charles went clubbing because he was not in a good mood recently. He went to the same Night Club where he accidentally met Sandy. In that place, he accidentally stumbled again with Sandy and Josh.

It just so happened that Sandy also invited Josh to have fun tonight since she was happy that Team Alpha Cinco denied Aliyah's request to cover the story about Catseye's case.

She was overjoyed and relieved. At least, a dangerous scope was removed to their work. She wanted to invite Aliyah but for an unknown reason, she couldn't contact her.

She was thinking that maybe she was together with James. She heard from Josh that James had returned to City Z. She always thought that Aliyah and James were a couple. In the States, she often met him with Aliyah as he was always accompanying her wherever she went.

That's one of the reasons why she couldn't believe Aliyah when she didn't complain against the Chief Detective after hugging her twice. She even suspected Aliyah of two-timing the two men.

Little did she know that the person whom she was trying to contact since this afternoon was currently having a passionate session with the handsome Chief Detective, not James.

And as for Josh, he decided to tag along with Sandy for two reasons. First, he didn't want to upset her and wanted to curry her favor. 

Besides, Sandy was still a friend of their Queen. He didn't want to offend her by rejecting her invitation or else he would receive another hard punch from her.

For the second reason, he wanted to unwind and have a break because he was put under a lot of pressure and stress for the past few days because of their mighty Supremo and their Queen.

They had been drinking for two hours now. After having enough drinks, Sandy dragged Josh on the dance floor. They'd indulged themselves in the loud Disco music while dancing freely and wildly.

While the two were enjoying their dance, there was someone who was silently drinking in the bar counter. The person was Charles. He looked like he was having deep thoughts. Something was bothering him.

The lonely feeling started to sprout again inside him. He felt that something was missing. It was Elle. He couldn't forget her.

'I f*ck up. Why is it I am missing you more each day? Returning here at City Z, all I could see was your memory… our memories together.'

His lips twisted into a wry smile. After saying those words, he took the glass of whiskey and lifted it to his lips, threw back his head, and drank it with just one gulp.

An unknown amount of time passed, Charles just continued refilling his glass with whiskey while drinking it non-stop. He wanted to drown himself so that he could forget his sorrow and pain. But he was still sober. Now, he had a strong tolerance for alcoholic drinks.

'Elle… you are so unfair. I thought we were partners… but why did you leave me first?' 

Charles was ranting his sentiments on his mind when suddenly someone smacked his back so hard, enough for a soft grunt escaped his mouth.

"Hey, Charles! My dear Savior! You are also here. I am glad to see you again."

Charles became soberer when he heard that familiar voice. When he turned around, he saw the woman whom he shared a steamy make-out session inside his car.

"You?!" Charles exclaimed with disbelief. He didn't expect to see her again. 

"Yes, it's me. Sandy. Did you forget me already? Remember… you and me… in your car~"

"Stop! Stop! I know you! I didn't forget." Charles promptly said, interrupting Sandy for saying the rest of her words.

He couldn't believe this girl. How could she mention that thing as if it was just a natural happening that they could talk to in the public? She was the girl so she must be more reserved than him when talking about those things. But it was exactly the opposite.

'She talks non-stop without a break. Does she not care about her reputation? She's a reporter too. Now I know why she chose that job. It suits her very well.' 

"Oh, by the way, this is Josh. Josh, this is Charles." Sandy introduced the two men from each other.

That's the moment Charles realized the existence of Josh who was standing behind Sandy.

Charles nodded at Josh and then turned back to Sandy.

"Hmm, Is he the one? Did you finally find a decent guy, now?" Charles asked while eyeing Josh from top to bottom.

Sandy let out a soft giggle before answering him.

"Nah! He's not a pure decent guy." Sandy promptly said, shaking her head.

Josh's brows knitted into a frown. 'What is she talking about? Me? Not pure decent? Why?'

"Don't be deceived by his good looks. He is just half decent because he secretly spied on my friend. So I beat him up." Sandy explained to them.

Charles's lips twitched in disbelief. "For real? You couldn't even beat the guy who was harassing you at that time. I had to interfere just to save you. And now you are telling me you beat this guy who was spying on your friend. Should I believe you."

Josh: "..."

'Hello, guys! I am still here. I am the one you two are talking about. Am I invisible in the eyes of the two of you?' Josh lamented to himself as his gaze darted back and forth between Charles and Sandy.

Sandy giggled once again. This time she sat down on the vacant chair beside Charles.

"Yeah… because I was a hundred percent sober when I beat him." Sandy proudly said to Charles.

Josh also joined them as he sat down next to Sandy.

"Hey, did you forget that I am still here? I could hear you." Josh complained to Sandy.

Sandy rolled her eyes and said, "I know. I am intentionally doing this so that you will feel ashamed after going behind our back, you fool!"

Charles just looked at them helplessly.

"Hmm, you know what… the two of you match together. Hehe." Charles forgot his troubles after entertaining Josh and Sandy.

Josh laughed out loud while Sandy shot him a sharp glare causing him to stop laughing right away.

"Anyway, do you mind if we join you here? Let's drink together. The more the merrier." 

Sandy didn't sound like she was asking permission. She just said that for formalities but she already decided to drink with him. She was curious about her savior. She wanted to know more about him.

Charles agreed. The three of them had a little chit-chat while having their drinks. They got along very well up to the point where Sandy invited Charles for a lunch tomorrow.

"Hey, let's meet again tomorrow. I will introduce you to my friend. I think she will like you too. Are you free?" Sandy blurted out suddenly.

"Tomorrow? Hmm sure. I am free." Charles said.

"Give us your number. Put it here." Josh was the one who initiated to get Charles number. He gave him the phone so that Charles could type his number himself.

Charles accepted his phone and registered his number. After a few seconds, he handed it back to Josh.

"So Bro, let's see each other tomorrow," Josh mumbled after getting his phone back.

"Sure. Just tell me the place for our meet-up."

"Yeah! We will." Sandy promptly said.

Sandy clapped her hands in excitement. She was eager to introduce her savior to Aliyah. She just wanted to brag that her savior was cool so she wanted her to meet him.

After the last round of drinks, Charles bade them goodbye. He was a little bit tipsy now but he could still manage to drive. Josh also convinced Sandy to go home. They still had work tomorrow.

Josh was thinking that he should have enough rest since Elle had given him the task to guard and monitor Chief Detective Lee. He could only sigh deeply whenever he would remember Supremo and Queen.

'Why do I have two superiors? They gave me two different tasks. [email protected]! I should be careful not to be found out by Supremo.'

After a while, the three of them went separate ways. Josh would drop Sandy in her apartment while Charles would drive his car.

When Charles arrived at his place, he was shocked to see Elena sitting outside his balcony. She was waiting for him.

"Elena? What are you doing here? It's almost midnight. How long had you been waiting here?" Charles had the urge to scold this girl in front of him.

"Brother Charles!" Elena's eyes lit up when she saw Charles. 

She stopped calling him 'Boss Charles'. The last time they saw each other, Charles told her just to call him Brother Charles just like how she was calling Brother Yu and Brother Lu before.

"I came here to visit you. I brought dinner. But by the time I arrived, your house was still locked. So I just waited here, thinking that you will return home soon."

'What should I do with this innocent girl? Why did she have to wait for me if she could just leave?'

"Alright. Let's go inside first?" Charles said, unlocking his door.

"Brother, did you drink?" Elena asked him the moment she smelled his manly scent mixed with the strong scent of whisky.

"Just a little." Charles lied.

In fact, he was already feeling dizzy and lightheaded. He even puked several times while on the way to his place.
