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

Erick thanked them once again before he returned to his car. Josh just turned on the engine when Elle suddenly stepped out of the car.

”Hey, Ali! Where are you going?” Sandy promptly asked her.

”Go ahead first. I just remember I still have something to discuss with Chief Lee regarding Senator Mondragon's case.” Elle said as her alibi.

She didn't let Sandy speak another word as she immediately closed the car door and left.

Bam!

'What the hell is she doing again this time? She could also ask the two agents here.' Sandy thought to herself as she watched Elle's retreating back.

Sandy just shook her head and heaved a sigh of defeat.

”Let's go, Josh!” Sandy said as she signaled him to drive the car and leave.

On the other hand, Erick was smiling from ear to ear when he saw Elle walking towards his direction. He immediately got out of his car and opened the car door in the front passenger.

Elle let out a soft chuckle before she stepped inside the car. The message which she received a while ago came from Erick.

[ Time to pay me your debt. Let's have dinner tonight. ]

According to Erick, she owed him two meals. So here she was, ready to repay the first one.

”Hmm… Chief Lee… it's still too early for dinner.” Elle said to him.

”You are not coming back to the headquarters? You still have two working hours left,” Elle added.

”No worries. It's alright for me to go home early today. Besides, I've always worked overtime in the past two years. No one will try to complain against me.” Erick said as he started the car.

”Hey, I thought you ran out of gas?”

Erick let out another chuckle. ”I lied.”

Elle couldn't believe this guy. ”You are lying more often Chief Lee. That's not a good habit.”

”Heh… you should tell that to yourself also.” Erick retorted as he smirked at her.

Dang! Another K.O from Mr. Detective. Elle couldn't refute that. She could only glare at him.

”So, where are we going to eat?” Elle asked him.

”Home!” Erick simply said to her.

Elle's heart skipped a beat after hearing the word 'Home'. Two years had passed. She wondered how Erick's place would look like now. When she was with him, she would always feel at home. Erick's side was her true home. And she missed it a lot.

”How can I treat you tonight?” Elle asked him again.

”We will go to the supermarket first. You will be the one to pay for the ingredients. Hmm, if you want… you can also cook for me.” Erick shamelessly suggested to her.

There was a gleam of joy and excitement in his eyes.

”I like the first suggestion but the second one… hmm, let's forget it!”

A husky laugh escaped his lips.

”I knew it. You are not fond of cooking.”

Elle pouted. ”It's not because of that. I am tired. My hands are also hurting because of shooting arrows. Can't cook tonight.”

”Alright! I believe you. I'll be your Master Chef tonight, Ma'am!”

Elle's giggle bubbled up inside the car. She got what she wanted. She missed Erick's cooking. And tonight, Erick would cook for her.
