Chapter 286 - 286: Their Paths Crossed Again (1/2)

After a few seconds, the door was opened and a slender figure of a woman came into their view. The moment she entered that room everyone was stupefied.

”Holy Sh!t”

”Am I seeing a ghost!”

”[email protected]!”

”Catseye?!”

”Hello. We meet again!” Elle said as her eyes fell on Erick's face.

Among the people inside that room, Erick was the one who was greatly affected by the sudden appearance of this unexpected visitor.

It was just a few days ago when Erick had planned in mind to search for her in all the corners of City Z.

'I will find my way back to you!'

Those words coming from Elle lingered on his mind.

That face!

That smile!

That voice!

He had waited for long just to see her face and hear her voice once again. This was the second time around this week. Their paths crossed again.

Though they were not alone in that room Erick's eyes could only see her. He felt that familiar feeling, everything in their surroundings had stopped moving but his world started revolving again as it had seen its source of light.

His numb heart started to beat once again. Not just a normal pounding, it was running wild inside his chest. His empty and dull eyes found their color back. They were sparkling with warmth as he looked at her.

”You're back. You're finally back!” Erick mumbled to himself.

Erick's feet moved on its own accord as he traced his steps towards her. The corner of his lips stretched out forming a soft and gentle smile.

When he reached her, his hand reached out as he touched her face, gently caressing her cheeks using his thumbs. His penetrating gaze lingered on her face for several minutes.

It seemed like two years didn't happen. She still looked the same, very beautiful in his eyes.

And finally, Erick engulfed her into his strong arms, pulling her against his body and hugging her tightly.

June: ”...”

Bryan: ”...”

April: ”...”

Rose: ”...”

The four of them froze in their spots, utterly shocked and tongue-tied as of this moment. Someone who looked exactly the same as Elle just appeared in front of them.

And one more surprising thing was that they saw Erick smile once again. His warm and gentle smile that they missed so much. And his empty eyes which were void of any emotions suddenly changed into those eyes full of life.

They were now on the edge of their wits. A lot of questions running in their mind as of now.

What was happening here?

Is she really Elle?

How is that possible?

If she's Elle then she's Casteye then how come she has the guts to come here at the headquarters?

Is she not afraid to go into prison?

Is she surrendering herself?

Or maybe she is not Elle.

They had not yet recovered from the shock when the girl whom Erick wrapping in his arms tightly also hugged him back. They gasped in surprise.

Then suddenly they heard a loud voice coming from the door.

”ALIYAH ROSS! You are doing this again! Does hugging strangers become your hobby now!”

Sandy came inside in a hurried manner. Dang! She came in time and ruined the moment once again. Her voice served as a wake-up call again for Elle who had forgotten her true reason why she came here.
