Chapter 388 - 388: Acting in Front of His Colleagues (2/2)

Everyone was dumbfounded after seeing her expression. They couldn't explain but she was giving off the same positive vibe that Chief Lee had.

Carl frowned in confusion and disbelief. This was not the kind of expression she was wearing the last time he saw her yesterday at the hospital. He thought Erick and Aliyah had another argument yesterday.

'[email protected]! I couldn't figure out these two people. What's happening to them? So weird!' Carl pondered to himself why eyeing Elle strangely.

Meanwhile, everyone greeted her back with a smile though they felt a little bit awkward.

”Hi, Ms. Aliyah! Are you here to see Chief Lee?” It was Bryan who asked her. Others were also curious whether she was here because of Erick.

'Are they going to fight again?'

Elle nodded with a smile, ”Yes, I came to see him. Is he inside?” Elle pointed out Erick's closed office door.

Bryan scratched the back of his head, unsure of what to reply. He was hesitating, afraid that Erick's mood would change if he would see Aliyah.

Others also averted their gaze to Bryan, anticipating his reply.

”Eh--” Bryan didn't finish his sentence because Erick's office suddenly opened and he emerged from the door.

They didn't know if they were just imagining it but the moment Erick saw Elle, his eyes sparkled with delight and his lips turned up into a gentle smile.

But since Erick remembered Elle's request to treat her as Aliyah Ross in front of his colleagues, Erick's soft expression changed in an instant. He was able to conceal his emotions.

Now, he looked calm and composed, his expression was unreadable. But deep inside, his heart was singing with joy. They just got separated for several hours but he already missed her so badly.

His body also reacted the moment he remembered last night's happenings inside his room. He conquered her. He made her scream his name over and over again.

'[email protected]! I want to kiss and hug her now!'

Erick's eyes darkened with l.u.s.t but his colleagues misinterpreted it. They thought Erick was not happy to see Aliyah. The gentleness in his expression a while ago was just an imagination. Now, Erick was wearing a very serious expression.

Everyone inside felt the tension except for Erick and Elle.

'I want to commend my hubby. He also knows how to act and pretend.' Elle laughed inwardly.

”Do you need something, Miss Aliyah?” Erick said with his flat tone.

The room was engulfed by deafening silence. Erick's colleagues were rendered speechless.

'Is Chief Lee acting cold again towards Aliyah?'

Elle suppressed the urge to smile. ”Yes, may I talk to you for a moment?”

Erick nodded and said, ”Okay. Follow me inside.”

Erick signaled her to come inside his office. Erick's colleagues exchanged meaningful glances with each other. They were asking Bryan to do something.

But Bryan just narrowed his eyes at his colleagues as if telling them, 'Why Me Again?!! Why are you pushing all this responsibility to me?!'

Erick's team had no choice but to wait for them outside, hoping that the two people inside would just be fine talking with each other. They wished no conflict would arise between the two of them.

But little did they know, the conflict they were thinking would not happen. The moment Elle and Erick entered his office, he locked the door immediately and pulled her into his arms.

He crushed her lips with his in a hungry kiss. He couldn't get enough of her. He wanted to kiss her forever... every day. He was addicted to her.

Elle giggled in between their kisses. She didn't expect Erick to be this bold and aggressive. He launched an attack as soon as they got out of his colleagues' radar.

With a playful thought in mind, Elle intentionally bit Erick's lower lip until it was swollen. She wondered how he would explain that to his colleagues if ever they noticed it.
