Chapter 392 - 392: Will Do This Together

After talking about their families, Elle and Erick discussed the serious matter about investigating Alfonso Ramirez and the Dark Knight Organization.

"Erick… please let me come with you to City X." Elle suddenly opened up with him.

"I believe that the bio-weapon facility is being hidden in that private compound. I need the antidote as soon as possible. Lu's life is at stake. I want to infiltrate their bio-weapon facility and steal some antidotes as well as to get the evidence that they are making bio-weapon in that area." Elle told him her plan truthfully.

Erick was having conflicting thoughts upon hearing that.

"It's dangerous." Erick promptly said.

"I know! But I can't let Lu die. I will blame myself forever. He's the reason why I am still alive right now. He did all his best in order to save me. Now, it's my turn to do that." Elle's determination was reflected in her eyes.

Erick eventually yielded to her request. He knew he couldn't change her mind about this.

"Okay. But in one condition." Erick said firmly while looking intently at her.

Elle nodded and asked, "What is the condition?"

"We will do it together, infiltrate the enemy's hideout. I am coming with you."

"Okay. We are together in this Mission." Elle said in agreement.

Erick sighed helplessly. He just wished that there was another option in order to save Lu, rather than this dangerous mission.

"Wifey, Mom, and Dad already knew your identity as Catseye and Ma. Belle. They didn't hate you. In fact, they wanted to see you, so badly, especially Mom. Do you want to come with me later and meet them at our Home? Mom missed you a lot. Dad also wanted to see his best friend's daughter. He had been searching for you all these years." Erick relayed his parents' message to Elle.

Elle felt touched when she learned that Raymond and Sarah didn't hate her, instead, they still cared about her despite the fact she was an assassin.

"Okay, Hubby. I will see Mom and Dad tonight. I also missed them both." 

"Mom will be happy because of that. Thanks, wifey!" Erick mumbled before trapping her in his arms again through a warm hug.

"Hubby, I gotta go! I need to go back to our office now." Elle said, planting a soft kiss on his cheeks and lips before getting off his lap.

"Okay. I will fetch you later, after working hours. Wait for me." Erick said before Elle could leave his office.

Elle was already holding the doorknob of his office door. She turned around and waved at him one last time.

"Okay! See you later, hubby."

After saying that, Elle immediately got out of his office.

***At Morning Star Media Network***

Sandy and Josh were now facing Elle who had just arrived in their office coming from the XXX Crime Investigation Headquarters.

"Ali! What have you done today?!" Sandy grimly said to her. Her brows were drawn together in a deep frown. Her hands were placed on the sides of her waist.

"Huh? Nothing. Why?" Elle said, feigning innocence in front of Josh and Sandy.

Josh just shook his head helplessly. He was already used to their Queen's attitude. She would do anything that she wanted. No one would be able to stop her once she already set her mind on something.

"Nothing?! Should I enumerate it with you so that you can remember?" Sandy was looking upset.

Elle rolled her eyes. 'Here we go again. Sandy's ranting and nagging are about to start now. [email protected]! I forgot to bring my headphones.'

"First, you stood us up during our lunch meeting with our friend, Charles. He was expecting to meet you but suddenly you ran away without even informing us nor even showing your face up before leaving us there in the restaurant."

Josh also nodded his head. "Sandy talked a lot about introducing the two of you and so excited for it but too bad, it didn't happen," Josh commented, adding fuel to the fire.

Elle shot him a cold stare that made Josh keep his mouth shut right away.

"Second, I think you had something to do with it. Why suddenly we are back to covering Catseye's case?! Don't tell me you bribe Chief Detective Lee so that he will convince their Head not to reject your collaboration request?" Sandy said exasperatedly.

Elle just blinked her eyes several times while looking innocent. In her mind, she justified her actions against those two remarks stated by Sandy.

'First, you don't need to introduce us. Charles and I already knew each other. It's just that I am not yet ready to see him at that time. The second one, yeah, you are right, I bribe Erick with myself. Hehe. Of course, he couldn't refuse his wife after I satisfied him all night.'

"Don't give me that kind of smile, Ali! It creeps me out! I am damn serious here." Sandy pouted, feeling frustrated.

"Okay...I got it. For the first one, I want to apologize. Don't worry before I left the restaurant a while ago I saw your savior. You're right. He looks cool and awesome." 

Elle was trying to appease Sandy. Fortunately, she was in a good mood today, or else she would not do this.

"For the second statement of yours, I just want you to know that you don't have to be so worked up like this. If you don't want to cover this story then I will not force you. But I will do it myself."

"But it's dangerous! You are putting your life in danger, that's why I am against it. I am just worried about your safety." Sandy complained to her once again.

Elle patted her shoulder and said, "Trust me. Nothing bad will happen to me. Besides, Chief Lee will protect me. I trust him."

Sandy could only sigh deeply. 'Aliyah is stubborn. She's not listening to me.'

Elle just finished explaining her side when Josh spoke up.

"Miss Ali, Spike is here. He is here to pick you up. Supre- I mean sir James wants to see you."
