“Huh?”Claudia mutters pretending as if she didn’t hear what he asked.
“I said how do you know I’m a detective?” Elliot Repeated his question.
Claudia thought of what to say, there is no way she could tell him she overheard him and Liam’s conversation when he first came, that will make things for her more complicated.
Flashback
“That’s Claudia”Laila said pointing at Claudia who seemed not to notice their existence in the room.
“Hey”Elliot greets but gets no response from her.
“Ignore her, she is always moody,”Laila explains, earning a glare from Claudia.
“Uhm I’m …”Amelia started but he cut her off.
“Amelia”Elliot chirped out with a grin.
“Oh how do you know Amelia?”Laila curiously asked, staring at him and Amelia suspiciously.
“Well I just know her,”Elliot blurted out, making Laila scoff.
“Really from where?”Amelia nervously asked.
“From your boyfriend,”Elliot grins, making Amelia’s eyes widened.
“Which boyfriend, is it the boss?”Laila immediately asked, making everyone, including Claudia, anticipate Elliot’s answers.
“Uhm”Elliot started feeling a bit awkward as all eyes were on him waiting for him to talk.
“Well from l….”Elliot was cut off by Liam.
“What’s going on here?”He questions from behind as Amelia breathes a sigh of relief.
“Huh nothing, we just welcomed Elliot”Laila explains, gesturing to Elliot.
“Okay get back to work everyone”Liam orders and everyone immediately scattered going back to their various desks.
“You come with me”Liam commands, referring to Elliot.
“Okay”Elliot nods following Liam to his office from behind.
“Gosh this company is becoming more interesting”Laila excitedly squeaks with her hand on her face.
“Get back to work,”Mike tells her from behind.
“I know scumbag”She curses at him.
Liam was staring at Elliot immensely, making Elliot feel awkward by his stares.
“What wrong bruh?”Elliot asked, a bit nervous.
“Were you about to tell everyone I was dating Amelia?” Liam questions with his eyebrows raised.
“Yes, any problem?”Elliot asked, a bit confused.
“Yeah bruh, I brought you here to spy on the workers and see if any suspicious stuff is happening behind my back without announcing my relationship”Liam explains.
“Oh well I didn’t know”Elliot grins.
“Whatever, what did you notice?” Liam asked.
“Well I noticed Laila is talkative and probably gossip a lot, so I will be able to get information about the office from her,”Elliot stated.
“Okay who else?” Liam ushers him to go on.
“Well Mike seems like he doesn’t know much about the office and just love tackling Laila”
“Claudia always moody or rude , she is just strange”
“Miss Cynthia is calm, and Nina is a cheerful soul”
“Oh and Amelia”
Elliot was able to explain about all of them because he already did a background check on them , andhim being a great detective he was able to explain about them just by greeting him.
“What about Amelia?” Liam glares at him.
“Well she is just like an angel, with the way she smiles oh and she is so beautiful, totally my style”Elliot sat on Liam’s desk as he was mesmerised by the thought of Amelia.
“What the fuck bruh!”Liam yells pushing him off his desk.
“Oh Amelia,”Elliot teasingly utters, ignoring his yells.
“That’s it you are fired, get out!”Liam pointed towards the door.
“Ha you can’t fire me”Elliot scoffs, making Liam frown.
“Yes I can, I just did”Liam pointed out.
“Okay, good luck in finding another trustworthy detective that can help you solve the mysterious attack on Amelia”Elliot blurted out and turned to leave.
“Wait!” Liam said, making him halt at his tracks.
“Yes?”Elliot grins.
“Don’t leave”Liam mutters.
“I can’t hear you,”Elliot teasingly utters.
“Don’t leave!” Liam yelled from the top of his voice.
“So loud”Elliot whines receiving a punch from Liam in the guts.
“What was that for?”Elliot Yelp in pain.
“For making me yell”Liam tells him before going back to his seat.
“Dude you yell all the time”Elliot pointed out making Liam scoff.
“So boss brought him here to find out who was behind Amelia attack, oh no that means he suspects one of us”Claudia shivers at the thought of Liam finding out she was the one as she was eavesdropping on Liam and Elliot before walking away.
end of flashback.
Elliot gave Claudia the questioning look, wondering if she was going to tell the truth or lie again.
Elliot POV
Oh Claudia I know you are thinking of what to cook up, You see Claudia they don’t call me a great detective for nothing. I know when someone’s guilty and when someone is innocent and you are definitely not innocent.
Claudia POV
Oh gosh what will I tell this fool now, He keeps staring at me like he knows I’m going to lie or something.
“I don’t know , are you a detective?”Claudia asked, covering her mouth pretending to be shocked.
Elliot chuckles lightly gazing down, he slowly looks up at her and smirks.
“Yes Claudia I am a detective”He admits watching her every reaction carefully.
“Wow that’s so cool by the way I need to go”Claudia immediately left not waiting to hear his reply.
Claudia POV
That was a close one, I need to find a way to get rid of that Elliot because he is becoming a problem.
Elliot watched as Claudia left without saying anything, he knew she was lying to him but decided to keep it on the low until he found enough evidence against her.
Liam was in his office thinking about the time and when Amelia and him talked about him being the father of her kids and how she jokingly refused calling him a pervert.
Flashback
“A vacation”Amelia repeats, unsure of what he meant.
“Yea just you and me together, we nobody around to disturb us”Liam tells her with a wink.
“Uhm that would be great, but I have work to do”Amelia pointed out.
“Well since I’m your boss, I say you can take a break from work and go with your lovely boyfriend on a vacation”Liam declared, making her giggle.
“Sorry but I don’t wanna go on a vacation with my boyfriend boss”Amelia whines.
“And why is that?” Liam raised his eyebrows.
“That’s because he is a pervert, I barely stay safe alone with him in the house and now go on a vacation with him I’m definitely getting pregnant”Amelia blurred out .
“Well being pregnant for him wouldn’t be a bad idea”Liam chuckles.
“But I don’t want to be pregnant yet”She mutters, making Liam frown.
“Why not?”He asked her, a little bit annoyed.
“I don’t wanna get pregnant when I’m not even yet married”Amelia utters feeling uncomfortable.
“Well then you and your boyfriend should get married as soon as possible”Liam announced.
“What no”Amelia glares at him.
“Trust me you will be lucky to have him as your husband”Liam assures her.
“Oh really”Amelia wraps her hand around his neck.
“Yes baby”Liam smirks.
“Baby”She repeats before slapping his cheek lightly. Liam whines holding into his cheek
“What was that for?” Liam groans.
“How dare you call me baby! You are my boss and you are hitting on me, if my boyfriend finds out he is gonna murder you”Amelia jokingly utters still sitting on his lap. Liam was confused on what she was saying, after some minutes he realised and smirks.
“Oh really, so what will your boyfriend say if he finds you sitting on your boss lap like this?” Liam questions her as a wide smirk spreads on his face.
“Oh my goodness!”Amelia squeaked and tried standing up but he held onto her waist.
“Where do you think you are going too?” Liam whispers as his hot breath fan her cheeks.
“Let go of me you perv!”Amelia yells but he doesn’t budge.
“I’m not letting go of you okay, you were the one that got on my lap”He reminds her to tighten his grip around her waist.
“Let go of me, someone could come in”Amelia whispers looking backwards.
“Oh you didn’t know someone could walk in when you got on top of me”Liam scoffs, he puts her hair beside her ear and leans towards her ear.
“You are my teddy, I don’t care if you have a boyfriend or not”Liam whispers with his husky voice before biting on her earlobe gently.
Amelia understood what he was trying to say, he didn’t care that she belonged to Andrew and already claimed her as his. She thought about telling him that she isn’t with Andrew and she remembers her memory when the door came opening interrupting her from speaking.
“Now what do we have here?”Elliot said from behind before entering the office and closing the door behind.
Amelia flinched and tried getting off Liam’s lap but he didn’t let go of her.
“Let’s go ,”Amelia whispers while laughing awkwardly.
“What do you want?” Liam asked Elliot who was looking at the two of them.
“Oh I’m sorry did I disturb you two love birds”Elliot teasingly asked, making Liam scoff as Amelia blushes.
“No you didn’t cause I’m leaving”Amelia announced and stood up but Liam pulled her back down towards him again.
“Really scott you come as clingy”Elliot blurred out as Liam eyes widened at the fact he called him scott.
“Scott”Amelia repeats, Liam gulps feeling a bit hot.
“So what are you guys talking about?”Elliot quickly changed the topic on seeing Liam’s nervous state.
He wonders why he was nervous but decided to ask him later, Amelia stood up from Liam’s lap making a bit scared of what she was going to say.
end of flashback
Liam’s thoughts were interrupted by the door opening revealing Andrew standing in front of him.
“Oh my gosh, this dude really wants me to go to jail”Liam ruffled his hair in frustration, he glared at Andrew.
“Sorry to badge in here like this, but I need to know which hospital Amelia was in”Andrew stated hoping he will tell him.
“Why, So you can go and kill her?”Liam scoffs standing up.
“I will never do that”Andrew frowns.
“Oh but you left her to die 6 months ago, what happened then?” Liam questioned him on why he suddenly cares for Amelia all of a sudden.
“That was all in the past, I had a change. Well I know I wrong her and believe me I just want to apologise and make things right with her again”Andrew explained, Liam stared in disbelief as he was really talking about getting back with Amelia.
“Wait, you think you can get back together with her?”Liam chuckles lightly, his eyes turned dark and his facial expression was cold as he stared at Andrew.
“She already belongs to me, and there is no way I’m letting you or anyone come close to her” Liam declared.
Andrew was about to say something when Liam’s phone rang, He glared at Andrew before picking the telephone up.
“Hello” Liam greets the caller.
“Yes I’m Amelia’s boyfriend Liam Scott” Liam uttered out loud so that Andrew could hear him clearly, Andrew frowned on hearing his words.
“Really omg , I will be on my way there now”Liam immediately hangs up , he was about to leave when Andrew held his hand preventing him from leaving.
“What’s happened?”He questions Liam’s happy face.
“The doctor told me that Amelia has regained consciousness”Liam announced before leaving his office and rushing to the hospital immediately.
Andrew immediately ran following him from behind, he wanted to see Amelia and apologise to her. Laila who was eavesdropping on their conversation immediately went to tell everyone.
“Guys I just heard the boss said that Amelia had regained consciousness”Laila announced, they all stood up cheering happily.
“Oh I’m so happy”Nina squeaks, twirling along with Laila.
Miss Cynthia chuckles lightly at their childish behavior. The door opened revealing Elliot and Claudia, Claudia stared at them wondering why they were all so happy.
“What’s going on here?”She questions, Elliot stood still as he wanted to also know the reason for their happiness.
“Well you see boss said Amelia had regained consciousness”Nina tells them, Claudia mouth slightly opened.
“What the hell!”Claudia unconsciously blurted out, Everyone turned to look at her including Elliot suspiciously.
“I mean yay!”She quickly changed the topic, they all cheered except Elliot who was staring at Claudia with a big smirk on his face.
Claudia POV
Oh goddamnit so my plans got ruined again, why didn’t you just die Amelia why didn’t you just die. I hate everyone in the office, they all look happy to hear that piece of shit had woken up. She will never leave this world that easily but I will make sure I don’t everything possible to get her out of the picture even though it’s the last thing I do on earth.
