The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

When Erick and Bryan arrived at the XXX Crime Investigation headquarter, they caught people's attention inside. Something was off between them. They were also puzzled why those two were so late today. Erick and Bryan went inside their office. Team Alpha noticed that there was something amiss with those two.

"What happened with those two? Are they fighting?" Rose asked April. They were both observing Erick and Bryan's action.

April just shrugged. She didn't have idea as well. "Yesterday before they left the office, they were just fine."

"Let's just ask them later." June suggested to them. They nodded in agreement.

Erick was now leaning on his chair. He closed his eyes while massaging his temples. He was suffering from headache cause by hang over. Furthermore he was still bothered by his thoughts. Now he couldn't forget that vision a while ago. It felt so real.

"This is so wrong. Why am I thinking about that. I should be thinking about protecting her and not taking advantage of her." he scolded himself.

But his other self was wishing that it was real and it really happened. He was thinking how would it really felt by kissing Elle's soft delicate lips. He shook his head, trying to brush the thought off out of his mind. He needed to focus on work right now!

At the same time Bryan felt dejected. He was not in a good mood. He didn't know if Erick accepted his explanation a while ago. Erick seemed to be occupied by something when they arrived and Erick never talked to him again.

April, Rose and June approached him. They were observing the gloomy expression of Bryan.

"What's wrong between you and chief? Did you get into fight? Rose directly asked him.

Bryan gave them a cold glare and giving them a warning look saying that he was not in the mood for gossips right now.

"Why did you came late?'' It was June who asked him ignoring his glare.

"You did something wrong right?" April started to interrogate him too.

Bryan couldn't take them from pestering him now. He wanted to be alone. He stood up and said "I Did Nothing Wrong!" he emphasized every word before he walked out and escaped from them. The three people were left speechless. ''Where is he going? He had just arrived."

At Erick's Place

Elle was thinking whether to visit Charles today or not. She needed to talk to him and ask him about his action yesterday. She was also have something to tell him about her next moves. She was about to leave the house when someone suddenly appeared. It was Bryan.

'What is he doing here? He and Erick just left for work an hour ago.' Elle was bewildered seeing Bryan in front of her.

"Did you forget something?" she asked him while looking at his gloomy expression.

"Elle I am begging you please help me explain to Chief Lee what happened last night." Bryan asked her in a desperate and pleading tone.

"What are you talking about?" Elle looked at him so confused.

"I think Erick had misunderstood something. I think he was mad at me. He saw us last night in that position. Why on earth did you do it? Why?" Bryan lamented to her. He was blaming her.

'Of course I did that to give you a lesson.' Elle thought to herself.

Hearing no response from Elle, Bryan continued to convince her. " Please explain to Erick. I have nothing to do with that. I am not taking advantage of you. You are the one taking advantage of me! You are the one who approached me first! Do you like me? Do you have crush on me? I know you are pretty but sorry Elle I don't have feelings for you! I like someone else." Bryan spoke spontaneously.

Elle:"....."

Elle was dumbfounded with the last four sentences of Bryan. She didn't know if she would cry, get mad or laugh. 'There was really something weird from the way Bryan's speak and think. How could he say that straight from my face without getting embarrass. He was also shameless thinking that I like him and telling me that he like someone else.'

She shook her head. She really needed to clarify something before Bryan's thought became more wild and imaginative.

After a few seconds, Elle spoke up. "Alright! Alright! Calm down first! Please keep quiet first then let me explain." Bryan nodded in agreement and he finally shut up.

"First of all, the feelings is mutual between us." Elle said that made Bryan frown. "What do you mean?"

Elle rolled her eyes. It was really hard to speak with this talkative person. She said to him to keep quiet for the mean time then now he was talking again.

"I mean, I don't have feelings for you. I am just teasing you last night since you didn't answer my question right away. I didn't expect that Erick would suddenly appear and saw that. Don't worry I will explain to him. Did he really get mad? But he looked like he was fine last night." Elle was confused.

Bryan felt relieved after hearing that. He knew it, Elle was just playing and teasing him last night.

"Please don't do that again. You might kill me from a heart attack!" Bryan complained to her. Elle just let out a giggle and soft chuckle.

"Don't laugh, it's your fault that Erick got upset with me." Bryan scolded her.

"But he doesn't look upset to me." Elle refuted.

"That what you think since you never experience how he was giving me a cold treatment since last night. That was a first time he looked frightening to me." Bryan shivered from the mere thought of it.

Elle raised her brow looking so interested 'Hmm is that so?'

"I want to see what he looks like if he is mad and angry." Elle said feeling delighted. She wanted to see Erick mad since every time she saw him he was very calm and compose and always smiling. She flashed her cunning smile.

Bryan gave him a doubtful look. " Elle you are creeping me out with your smile. What are you thinking? You are really weird. If I were you I wouldn't want to see Erick get mad and serious." Bryan said to her honestly.

"Relax, I am not planning anything. You are overthinking. Ahem By the way, you said you already like someone. Who is she?" Elle changed the topic.

Bryan froze when he heard her question. 'Crap, did I really said too much?' Elle was now pressuring him with her stare. Bryan face turned red. "Are you referring to Selena Arison?" Elle asked him again.

"No! It's not her.... She is one of our colleagues." Bryan admitted.

Elle burst into laughter after hearing that. Bryan gave her a questioning look "What's funny?"

"Then I have to warn you, If you don't want to be misunderstood by someone especially by the girl you like, stop talking about how beautiful other girls are. Last night, when you described Selena Arison, your eyes couldn't hide your admiration to her. I thought she's the one you like. " She gave him an honest advice. Bryan was left speechless. Elle had a point.

"Alright, leave now! They might be looking for you now. What would Erick think if he knew you came here alone without telling him." Elle teased him while she let out a soft chuckle. Bryan eyes widened as he realized something then he quickly bade her a goodbye.
