Chapter 301 - 301: No Other Woman (2/2)

Then Erick bent down and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. This gesture of his had warmed her heart. It was simple but sweet... and filled with respect.

'He told me that he won't kiss me until I admitted that I'm Elle but why…? A kiss on a forehead? Is this an exception?' Elle couldn't help but ponder.

Erick pinched her nose.

”Aw!”

He chuckled and said, ”That's your punishment for making me jealous.”

”Making you jealous??! When did I do that?” Elle complained to him with disbelief.

Erick was about to reply when suddenly they heard footsteps and faint voices coming in.

Elle and Erick exchanged glances with each other. Then they remembered that they were currently in the lady's comfort room and Erick was not supposed to be there.

'Sh!t. If Sandy will see Erick here then she will really be convinced that Erick is a pervert. Erick's good reputation will also be ruined if other girls will find him inside.'

Elle acted quickly as she pulled Erick inside one of the toilet cubicles. She signaled him to remain quiet. Erick just nodded in agreement. The cubicle was not that spacious, so it's a little bit stuffy inside for the two people.

The three ladies had entered. They were Isabelle, Kisses, and Laura. They were conversing as they fixed themselves, retouching their makeup.

”Hey, I think Jake likes that reporter girl named Aliyah.” Kisses brought the topic up.

”Why do you think so?” Laura probed.

”Did you see how very patient he was while teaching her a while ago? He is not acting like that to us. Remember, when I asked him before to teach me, he even scolded me many times.” Kisses lamented at them.

Erick and Elle could hear them clearly. Then Elle felt a sudden chill in the atmosphere inside. Erick's expression became frosty once again.

Elle could only bite her lower lip as she saw Erick clenching his fist.

'[email protected]! He's mad… he's jealous because of Jake.' Elle just realized the reason why Erick felt jealous.

Then they heard Isabelle's laughter.

”Well, she's beautiful, isn't she? Jake was bewitched by her. But don't worry, she will be the reason why Jake will lose today. Diana and Chief Lee will dominate the game.” Isabelle said with certainty in her voice.

”I agree… they look good together... Erick and Diana. A beautiful couple… right?” Kisses shared her thoughts with them.

”Yeah, obviously, Diana is very fond of the Chief Detective. It is very seldom for her to show her interest with men. She has a very high standard.” Laura commented.

This time Elle was the one emanating a threatening aura. When Erick glanced at her, he saw her smiling. But her smile was quite frightening. There's a gleam of anger in her dark eyes.

Erick shook his head and gave her an appealing look which was telling her that 'Don't listen to them. I am innocent. I have no idea. I have nothing to do with Diana.'

Elle just raised her brows and squinted her eyes at him. 'I don't believe you. You seemed like you were enjoying her company a while ago.'

Erick felt alarmed seeing Elle's reaction. 'Hey, why is she looking at me like that. I am the one who has the reason to be jealous here, not her.'

To pacify his woman, Erick just pulled Elle against his body and wrapped her into a warm hug.

Then he whispered to her, ”No other woman.”

”There's only one in my heart. And you already know who that woman is.”

Elle suppressed her urge to smile. She liked it. She loved to be buried in his chest and be engulfed by his strong arms while Erick was whispering sweet words to her.
