The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

Erick was now feeling better compared last night. He could still remember how Elle comforted him by lending her shoulder for him to lean on. If only him could decide he wanted that moment not to end.

Then a thought suddenly flashed on his mind. He was sleeping in his study for the past few days now. He missed sleeping on his bed together with Elle. He sighed deeply as he remembered that one time he slept together with Elle. It only happened once when Elle had a nightmare. He was wondering if Elle would allow him again to share the bed with him.

Erick shook his head and laugh to himself. He knew it was impossible. He was in this thought when Elle entered the kitchen. She saw him cooking breakfast but he seemed like his mind was occupied by something.

"Hey, the food will gonna burnt if you keep doing that." Elle said to him that caught his attention. Erick's eyes widened as he realized his mistake. He immediately turned off the stove.

Elle frown at him. She moved closer to Erick and put her hand on his forehead trying to check his temperature. Erick was astonished with that sudden action. His face automatically turned red and his temperature rose up suddenly.

"Are you not feeling well? You are hot!" Elle said to him with a concern voice.

Erick:"....."

'It's your fault.' Erick thought to himself as he stared at her with disbelief.

Erick immediately removed her hand and said "I am fine. It's nothing." He gave her an awkward smile.

Elle was looking at him suspiciously. She knew that something was bothering him since last night.

As he noticed her doubtful look he spoke up again. "I'm fine, I am just tired from work and I haven't got a good sleep for the past few nights." he said as an alibi.

Elle realized something after hearing that.

'Maybe he was not used sleeping at his study and he would be more comfortable sleeping on his own bed.' She felt guilty towards him.

Erick smiled as he saw her looking convinced with his explanation.

"Let's have a breakfast. You also have work today. I'll call Mom and Dad to join us." Erick said before leaving the kitchen to call his parents.

After breakfast, they both left the house. Erick would drive her today going to her workplace. He really insisted today so Elle had no choice but to agree.

She was just a little bit worried about Erick meeting Charles today. Hope that Charles would not blow her cover. She would really punish him if he do so.

During their journey, Erick noticed her uneasiness so he asked her.

"Are you okay? Is there something bothering you?

Elle turned to answer him."No, I am just worried about you. Are you sure you are going to work today? You seemed like you are not feeling well a while ago. You should rest at home." She also felt worried about him since last night.

Erick's eyes turned more gentle when he heard that. He was glad that she was concerned about him.

"Ahmm, I am happy that my girlfriend shows some concern about me. If you really worried about me can you update me what's happening on your end in order to lessen my worries. You are the one giving me a headache just thinking about you being in danger." Erick said to her with a teasing tone.

Elle just rolled her eyes hearing him. Erick chuckled seeing her reaction.

"Then why don't you hired some bodyguard for me if you are really concerned about my safety? He could follow me around all the time and would report to you just to make you at ease." She said to him sarcastically.

"Why should I hire someone if I can do that myself. Hmm do you want me to resign on my current job and to apply as your bodyguard?" Erick said to her while joking. He was grinning at her.

Elle couldn't tolerate this shameless guy beside her. She didn't want to lose and need to fight back.

A cunning smile appeared on her beautiful face."Hmm, well my dear are you really sure you can do that for me if I really ask you to resign at your work? I would be really happy if you do that. I will have to spend more time with you." She played along with him.

This time Erick was left speechless. He stopped the car as he saw the red light was on. He averted his gaze to see Elle smiling widely at him.

She was rejoicing as she saw him became speechless. She thought she won the argument since she knew how Erick was serious when it comes to his work.

Erick smirked at her. "Really my dear? If you just told me before then I should have done it long time ago. I should have really made you happy. Hmm spending more time with you is a very great idea. I would love to do that also."

This time Elle was the one who was dumbstruck with his reply. Elle was mistaken. Erick didn't became speechless when she asked him to resign from work but because of the last sentence she said.

Elle looked away immediately and she turned to look at front. "Okay you win! Let's forget it." Erick burst out into laugh. Elle glared at him. She couldn't win once Erick used his shamelessness. Elle just shook her head.

Erick couldn't stop laughing. He was really amused everytime Elle was trying to get even at him but in the end she would end up the one being annoyed.

"Hey stop laughing! Green light is on. Move!" Elle reminded him and he complied but Erick continued laughing. Elle got infected with his laughters so in the end she couldn't help herself from laughing also.

"Hey stop laughing already!" Elle hit him on his shoulder.

Erick tried his best to stop "I am sorry. I couldn't help it. It's your fault. You are very cute while looking so annoyed."

"Do I look like a clown to you?" Elle looked at him with disbelief. She frown at him.

Erick was able to contain his laughters. He stopped laughing already. He averted his gaze to Elle and look at her intently.

"No my dear. In my eyes, you look so beautiful whatever expression you wear." He said to her softly while his eyes was full of gentleness and admiration.

Elle's heart skipped a beat after hearing it and seeing his intense gaze that he was giving her. Her face turned red and now blushing. She immediately extend her hands to cover his eyes that was looking at her.

"Hey..."Erick complained

"Stop looking at me!"

Erick stopped the car and held her hands.

"Hey, why did you do that? I am driving. We might get into an accident." Erick said to her with a questioning look.

"Then stop staring at me. Put your eyes on the road and just focus on driving!" Elle complained to him.

Erick let out a chuckle. "All right! Just don't do that again. What if you get hurt if accident happened? I will blame myself." he softly said to her and then he squeezed her hand that he was still holding.

"Okay. I am sorry." Elle said as she realized her mistake. She was not thinking right. She acted on impulse. Erick sighed and gently tapped her head.

He was not blaming her.

"It's alright. Don't misinterpret, I am not blaming you." Erick assured her. Elle just nodded.
