The Devilish Assassin Meets The Angelic Detective

At Charles' Place

Someone was walking back and forth in his own living room. He was uneasy. He regretted his action yesterday. Now, he didn't know how to face Elle. He overreacted yesterday. Now he was having a headache for the possible consequences.

Charles also reprimanded himself yesterday. He realized that he left Elle without giving her the money. He was supposed to pay for their bill. Actually he went back to the restaurant however Elle already left and she was able to pay their bills.

He was so guilty for his action. He didn't know how to justify and explain it to Elle.

'If I could just turn back time.' he thought to himself.

''How can I pacify the devil? I know she was mad right now. Arhhh, Damn! I can't think clearly!"

He was in that crisis when he heard someone ring the doorbell. He walked over in order to check who it might be. He thought it was just another delivery from Master Phantom.

When he opened the door, the beautiful face of Elle wearing her most sweetest evil smile greeted him. Charles froze on the spot with his eyes opened wide.

'Sh***t! Speaking of the devil, she is now here!

Charles suddenly dropped on his knees and bowing his head while asking for Elle's forgiveness.

"Elle I am really really sorry about yesterday! Please let me get away this time. Please give me another chance."

Elle smirked while observing Charles who was pleading on his knees.

"You should have thought that before leaving me and not paying for our bills."

She walked towards him and she hit him on the head.

"Alright, stand up. As long as you already reflected on your mistakes."

Charles was bewildered by Elle's action. He thought she would beat him to death this time but she just hit him on his head then he was now forgiven. 'Why is it she was being more gentle these days?' Charles gave her a puzzled look.

Elle entered the house without waiting for Charles. She went to the kitchen and picked some drinks from the refrigerator and then she came back to the living room. Charles was silently observing her. She was definitely in good mood today.

"We need to establish another hide out aside from my place." Elle said to him. Charles sat down on the chair facing Elle.

"Find a space in the City Z where we could put a Cafe. Used our fund to buy more computer sets and monitors. I will be needing it during our operations. Change your number. We will not use our previous strategy from dealing and negotiating with our clients. You will act as my Boss in the newly establish Cafe. We will put a secret hideout on that Cafe." Elle said to him.

"By the way, I will continue staying with that Detective. Skull Gang matter was fixed for the mean time. They won't make a move against us. Now, I will focus my attack on Dark Knight. I should gave them a taste of their own medicine." A sinister smile appeared on her face.

"Okay... By the way... how many days are you giving me to establish a Cafe? What name do you like? Catseye's Cafe? I think It will become popular in just one day and can attract more customers. Eagles and members of Skull Gang and Dark Knight will surely check it out. We can put poisons on their orders. HaHaha" Charles said to her trying to annoy her.

Elle shot him a glare. "Do you like to taste the food first if it will be effective before serving it?" Charles stopped laughing.

"Alright, I am just joking! Kidding aside, what do you want me to name the Cafe?" He asked her properly

Elle also thought for a name. "Falcon Cafe" she simply said but there was a faint light coming from her eyes when she mention the word 'Falcon'.

Charles sighed "Sometimes you are simple-minded also Elle and lack some creativity. Tsk Tsk" He was not satisfied with the name but since it was Elle's decision then he had to follow.

Elle raised her brows "I don't want to waste my precious energy in thinking of a creative name for just a cafe besides you are the one who ask me. I just answered your question."

"Then give me three days. Haha After that I will be your Boss." A sly smile appeared on his face. He was rejoicing inside. He was excited that this time he would get the opportunity to order her around.

After finalizing their plan at Charles' place, Elle went back to Erick's Place. She was 3 meters away from the balcony when she saw two figures standing outside the door. Elle frown and she became alert. "Who are they?" She mumbled to herself.

She was slowly approaching them. She also prepared the items given to her by Erick for protection. Of course, she was not worried. She was fully healed already and very confident with her martial arts skill.

She was now very near at the balcony. She was already mentally prepared to strike any time. But to her surprise, the two persons waiting outside were two middle aged a.d.u.l.ts on their 50's, one was a woman and the other one was a man.

The two persons also noticed her arrival. They were also surprised seeing her. Both of them have a questioning look in their eyes.

"Hello, may I know you?" The middle-aged woman who spoke first. She asked her politely while giving her a gentle smile. She looked beautiful even in her age.

She was caught off guard with that warm greeting and gentle vibes she was giving Elle. Seconds later, Elle finally spoke up.

"Hi, I am Elle." She felt a little bit awkward. The middle-aged man just observing the two ladies.

"Hi Elle, Do you know Erick?" She asked her again.

'Why do I feel that I am being interrogated here. Should I be the one asking them right?' She thought to herself but still she answered her question.

"Yes, I know him." A light flashed to the beautiful eyes of the middle-aged woman upon hearing it.

"May I know what is your relationship with him?" She asked her enthusiastically.

"I am his friend?" Now Elle became more uncomfortable being question by her. The woman let out a soft chuckle. Her gazed focused on the key that Elle was holding.

"Do you live here?" She asked again.

"Yes Maám." Elle simply replied. This time the woman'eyes widened and gasped from her answer looking so shocked.

Elle was now confused 'Wait... did I say something wrong? I felt like I am started to get nervous.'

After the woman recovered from shock. She asked her again. But her last question made Elle to be dumbfounded.

"Are you a girl?" the woman asked her seriously.

'What the heck with that question? Do I look like a man to her? Isn't it obvious that I am a girl? Now I am started to question my physical appearance.' Elle looked at her so confused. This time the middle-aged man nudge the shoulder of the middle-aged woman. It seemed that he was telling her that she asked the wrong question.

The woman burst into laughter. Then she looked at her with a gentle smile while admiring her. She looked so happy. 'Wait...can someone explain what is happening here?' Elle thought to herself. Then the woman spoke to her again.

"You're name is Elle. You know Erick and you said you are his friend. You also said that you are living here. And you wonder why I asked you if you are a girl. Sorry Darling if I gave you a shock from that question. I just want to make sure. From your responses, therefore I conclude that..... You are my son's girlfriend! Nice to meet you Elle! I am Sarah, Erick's mother and your future mother in law!" The woman immediately hugged Elle without waiting for her response.

Elle:"..............?"

'Wait... Wait!! What the heck is happening here!? Did I heard it wrong? What girlfriend? and she.... she's Erick's mother?' Elle was shocked beyond belief. She just answered a few questions then suddenly she became someone else girlfriend and she met her boyfriend's mother who soon to be her mother in law. These kind of logic reasoning seems familiar to her.
