Chapter 304 - 304: Your Master Chef (1/2)

It was already 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon when Elle and her team finished their interview with Senator Mondragon. They also asked him to do a video shoot for this doc.u.mentary program.

They also got his consent and permission to disclose and include some private and personal information about him. They would show them the edited videos and compilations before showing it on the Television. The producers and editors would finalize everything.

”Ali, what are your impressions about Senator Mondragon?” Sandy asked her out of the blue.

Elle paused for a moment. She was recalling their interactions with him.

”Hmm, he has a charm that could easily capture people's hearts. He is also easy to talk to, approachable, friendly, and… has a sense of humor.” Elle said as she enumerated some of his qualities.

Sandy nodded as she agreed with Elle's remarks.

”He is also humble and generous. No wonder, he is considered as the cleanest politician in the country.” Sandy commented.

Elle frowned when something popped up in her mind. She somehow felt strange. She didn't know why but she sensed something more about Senator Alex Mondragon.

”Hmm. But my true impression about him is that… he is a mysterious guy.” Elle had a nagging feeling but she couldn't figure it out yet.

”Huh? Mysterious? Why do you think so?” Sandy asked her confusedly.

”I don't know. It's just my sixth sense… I guess. Hmm… never mind.” Elle simply said as she shrugged at her.

”Hmmm, alright! By the way, Diana and her father have opposite behaviors. I feel like she is quite intimidating and not easy to deal with.” Sandy shared her thoughts with her.

”Hmm. I agree with you. But she's quite capable like her father. She's smart and a very talented woman. She also has a strong personality. In short… I don't like her.” Elle admitted to them.

Josh who was just listening to their conversation, burst out laughing.

”Ali… I think. The feeling is mutual. It seems like she doesn't like you too. You are always contradicting her.” Josh butted in.

Elle just gave him a timid smile as her response.

When they reached the gate, they were surprised to see the three people outside. Erick and his team were still there, in their car.

”Ali… I thought they went back to their headquarters as soon as their talk with Senator Mondragon was done. Why are they still here?” Sandy asked her with disbelief.

”I have no idea,” Elle said. She was also wondering why they were still there.

Then they saw Erick wave at them. Josh stopped the car beside them. He was the one driving while Elle and Sandy were sitting at the passenger seat in the back.

Erick approached their car. He went to the side where Elle was sitting. He knocked at her window. She lowered the car window to face him.

”Hey, Chief Lee… what's up?” Elle said as she greeted him.

”Can I ask a favor?” Erick said to her while grinning widely.

”Handsome pervert! Why are you still here? I thought you have lots of work in the headquarters.” Sandy butted in, interrupting Erick and Elle.

Elle rolled her eyes skyward after hearing Sandy calling Erick a 'handsome pervert' once again.

”We ran out of gas. So I want to ask you for a favor. Can you drop my colleagues to the headquarters… please?” Erick requested.

”Sure, Chief Lee.” Josh was the one who answered.

”Thanks, Josh,” Erick said.

Elle frowned and asked him, ”How about you? You're not coming with us?”

Erick gave her a meaningful look before he responded. ”I will be staying for a while. I am just waiting for someone to deliver some gas. I can't leave my car here.”

Then Elle felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She picked it up and saw a message. A light flickered through her eyes when she read the message.

Meanwhile, Bryan and June got inside the car. June sat down in the front passenger seat while Bryan joined Sandy and Elle at the back passenger seat.
