The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

"Yeah she is Elle my girlfriend."

"Am I right Love?"

April's world crumbled upon hearing those words coming from Erick. Her heart immediately got broken. Her expression changed. The light in her eyes disappeared. Rose observed April's reaction.

Rose turned to Bryan and gave him a sharp glare.

Bryan felt nervous seeing those dangerous glare she was giving him.

'Why are you looking at me like that. I have nothing to do with their revelation.' Bryan thought to himself.

A smirk appeared on Dr. Gomez face. 'Hmm, so this is the answer to my question before. Hmm It sounds interesting.'

Captain Jason coughed to clear the awkward atmosphere.

"Cough! Cough! Cough! Alright! so Chief Lee and Elle please have your seat now. You both have just arrived but it seems like you are planning to stuff us with dog food tonight. Hehe" Captain Jason said while teasing the couple.

Elle just nodded and gave them an awkward smile while Erick let out a chuckle. "Sorry Captain."

They were now sitted in the middle of Dr. Gomez and Bryan. Erick was on the left side of Bryan while Elle was on the right side of Dr. Gomez.

Some of them were still quiet and hadn't recover yet from the shocking news that Erick just told them a while ago. Erick stayed low profile about his private life. They didn't heard about him dating or courting someone.

And tonight, he just suddenly brought a gorgeous lady and introduced to them as his girlfriend. They were still giving Elle and Erick a strange look.

Erick was so attentive to Elle. He was giving her food, asking her what she wants. He was so accommodating and never let her feel that she was an outsider.

Some people were envious just seeing them, some were amused how Erick was so caring about his 'girlfriend', some were uncomfortable seeing their sweetness.

'Gosh, If I didn't know the truth, I would really think that they were a couple. They are so good in acting. Are they really acting? It looks so natural.' Bryan was silently observing from the side feeling so amazed.

As times goes by, April didn't look so good. She lost her appetite. Her cheerful mood a while ago already disappeared. Rose was looking at her with worries and concerns.

Bryan also noticed April's indifferent. She was so focused in drinking beer. Bryan frown.

"Hey, are you okay? You haven't eaten much and you are now drinking too much.'' Bryan asked April with concern.

"Just mind your own business!" She said to him with an annoyed tone. Bryan just kept quiet and shut his mouth. He didn't want to annoy her more. He knew that she was not in a good mood.

Elle excused herself and she went to the comfort room. Bryan decided to follow her. He needed to talk to her.

When Elle got out from the comfort room, she was surprised when she saw Bryan standing outside. It seemed like he was waiting for someone. Bryan's eyes brightened when he saw her.

"What are you doing there?" she asked him.

"Waiting for you?" he said honestly

Elle frown at him "Why?"

"Want to talk to you about something." He replied

"What is it?"

"Can you act like you don't know me?" Bryan asked her pleading.

"Why should I do that?"

"I don't want my colleagues to know that I already knew you. They will be pestering me if they knew that I know something about you." Bryan was pleading at her desperately.

Elle looked at him with her brows raised "Hmm, so that's the reason why you only greeted Erick a while ago and pretended that you didn't know me at all."

Bryan nodded vigorously.

"Okay, I know what to do." Elle said. Bryan felt relieved after hearing that. He didn't see the evil smile appeared on Elle's face.

They both returned to their table. Bryan was about to sit down when Elle called him.

"Hey Bryan, it's been a long time, when will you come and have dinner again with us together with Erick." Elle was smiling widely.

Bryan:"..."

Bryan froze on his spot. A cold sweat instantly covered his body. Everyone in the table was now giving him a suspicious look.

'What the heck! Elle you f*cking traitor!' Bryan gritted his teeth. He shot Elle a sharp glare. Elle just gave him a teasing smile.

"Chief Lee, stop me. I might do something to that fake girlfriend of yours." he mumbled to Erick.

Erick gave Elle a questioning look. Elle just returned it with a shrug. She cheerfully sat down to her seat.

"What is that all about?" Erick whispered to Elle.

"Don't mind him. I just give him a lesson."Elle replied with a soft chuckle. Erick just shook his head helplessly. Elle had her childish side sometimes.

Bryan should prepare after this. He would surely be put in a hot seat, being interrogated by his colleagues. He regretted asking Elle that favor. He didn't expect that she would sell him out just minutes after they talked.

'Elle just you wait! I will make sure to punish you!' Bryan was cursing inside. He turned to look at Elle.

Upon noticing Bryan's glare, she gave him a cold sharp glare also. She was challenging him. Later on, a cunning smile appeared on her face.

Bryan looked away first. He shivered from fear. He didn't know why but Elle could be really frightening sometimes.

Then he changed his mind. 'Never mind. If I can't do it, I will just let Chief Lee do the revenge for me. Elle just you wait! I will make sure that Chief Lee will give you the punishment you deserve!'

Other members of Eagles were now having a casual conversation with Elle and Erick. They were interested to know how they became couple.

Bryan was just sitting and drinking there silently, not in his mood since Elle just betrayed him a while ago. Dr. Gomez was also silent on the side, so interested to hear the couple's responses. Rose and April were also quiet and just listening to them.

"How long have you known each other?" Carl asked them.

"More than a month I think." Elle answered truthfully.

Everyone was confused after hearing that. They just knew each other for just one month?

They looked at Erick feeling so amused.

'How he was able to court this lady in that short period of time while they were busy handling Catseye's case?'

Then a realization came to them. 'Is that the reason why Erick was leaving from work so early, why he was late sometimes and why he was rushing and leaving without telling them.'

Erick just gave them an awkward smile. He knew that his team were imagining and overthinking right now.

"Elle, if you don't mind. Can you tell us how Chief Lee courted you?" Marie asked her enthusiastically.

"Hey that question is too personal. You don't need to answer that.' Erick complained. He was a little bit embarrass. He didn't know how Elle would answer that beside no courting happened between them.

Everyone laughed at Erick's reaction.

"Actually, he doesn't know how to court so I am the one who make the first move." Elle said and let out a soft chuckle. Yes, it was true. She was the one who really made the first move. She pretended first to be his girlfriend.

Everyone was dumbstruck with her bluntness. Bryan almost spat out his drinks.

Dr. Gomez nodded in agreement. He also believed that Erick didn't know how to make a move for girls.

Erick's face turned red from embarrassment. Elle noticed him and she burst out into laughter.

"Oh no, your face is heating up my Love!" Elle teased him.

"See, I told you so. He looks like he is the girl between us. My Detective Lee is blushing!"

Everyone in the table laugh at them except April. Rose smiled awkwardly. She couldn't take it anymore so she stood up and excused herself. Rose followed her.

Erick became the center of teasing. He felt helpless. He turned to Elle who was enjoying the moment. He needed to do something to boost his reputation now. This girl beside him was intentionally making fun of him in front of his colleagues.

"Stop making fun of me or else...." He warned her with a serious tone but it didn't sound threatening.

Everyone stopped laughing, observing the couple.

"Or else what?" Elle challenged him with a teasing smile.

"I will kiss you, right here right now, in front of them!" he emphasized every words to her with a husky and seductive voice then a playful smirk appeared on his face.

The smile on her face disappeared. This time, Elle's face turned red like a tomato. The devil was blushing! The other persons in the table were now dumbstruck, where their eyes and mouth were wide open.

They regretted teasing this couple in front of them, now they were eating dog food. They saw another side of Detective Lee that they seldom see.

Every woman who could see this side of him would really fall for him immediately, no need of flowers, chocolate or any kind of courting.
