Chapter 324 - 324: Who Is Supremo?

Erick had set the table already. The foods were prepared. So he went to Elle's room to inform her that dinner was ready.

When he entered her room, he heard the sound of running water from the bathroom. Elle was taking a shower.

Erick stayed rooted on his spot but his gaze was fixed to the closed door of Elle's bathroom. He was having conflicting thoughts right now.

Before he could realize it his feet already moved on their own, approaching the bathroom. He raised his hand, touching the doorknob. To his surprise, it was not locked.

But Erick remained still, contemplating what to do.

'Should I go in or not?' There was a gleam of hesitation in his eyes.

He knew this was inappropriate, barging into her bathroom while she was taking a shower. But, he wanted to confirm something- Elle's scar. He could see it right now and Elle had no choice but to admit the truth.

After a moment of thinking, Erick finally made up his mind. He released the doorknob from his grasp as he shook his head, pushing the thoughts of entering the bathroom without Elle's consent at the back of his mind.

'No… this is not the right thing to do. Erick, you are not a pervert! What are you thinking?' Erick cursed himself inwardly.

He was about to leave when the loud sound of Elle's ringtone reverberated in the entire room. Erick saw her phone on her bedside table. He walked over to see who's calling her.

{ Supremo }

It was the same caller I.D he saw when someone called her last night during Marie's birthday party. Erick knitted his brows together as his interest was piqued by this caller.

"Who is Supremo?" Erick mumbled in a low voice.

Erick bent down to pick her phone up. He was planning to answer the phone on Elle's behalf. He was curious about this caller. And his caller I.D was so intriguing. It's not the name of a person but more likely an alias.

Erick was about to press the answer button when Elle came out of her bathroom.

"Erick?" She called him out.

Erick turned to face her. Elle was wearing her bathrobe. There were small water droplets still dripping from her wet hair. Her cheeks were also red because of that warm bath.

Her appearance was quite tempting in his eyes. He forgot about the call since all he could think of at that moment was Elle and her breathtakingly beautiful and seductive wet look.

After a few seconds, the phone's ringtone echoed once again inside the room. The sound snapped Erick out of the dazed. When he looked at her phone, it was still Supremo who was calling her.

Elle noticed her phone at Erick's hand. She started to walk towards him to get her phone. Her sweet fresh scent hung in the room, and it swirled around Erick's senses, intoxicating him.

'[email protected], I should get out before I lose my mind and do something to her.' Erick thought to himself.

He handed the phone over to her and said. "Supremo is calling you."

Elle's eyes widened after hearing that, her heart raced. She felt nervous. Erick almost answered the phone.

"H-He's my father." Elle promptly said to him. She stuttered a little bit.

Erick just nodded.

"The dinner is ready. Come to the dining room after you talk to him." Erick said before leaving the room.

Erick still managed to hear Elle when she answered the call.

"Hey, Dad!"

Bam!

Erick closed the door behind him. His heart was still beating rapidly on his chest. He almost lost control a while ago. He had the urge to push her down her bed and kiss her passionately.

'F*ck. I want her… I want to possess her. I miss touching her…'

Erick heaved a deep sigh, trying to calm himself down. Then he proceeded to the dining room in a rash. He needed to get away from her as soon as possible or else his beast would be out of control and would succ.u.mb to his inner desire.

Meanwhile, Elle was currently talking with Supremo inside her room. She made sure to lock the door, then she moved far away from it, afraid that Erick might hear their conversation.

"Dad?? Why are you calling me that?" Elle heard the confusion in Supremo's voice from the other line.

Elle bit her lower lip. She did that because Erick was there. She told him that Supremo was her Dad.

Elle let out a forced laugh. "Because you are acting like one."

Supremo fell silent after that.

"Hey, don't be upset. I am just kidding." Elle said when he didn't respond to her.

"What happened? I saw the news. Why you didn't call me right away?" Supremo didn't hide his unhappiness from her.

"I was about to call you but, when I came home, I fell asleep right away. I felt exhausted."

"Are you okay? How do you feel? Are you sick? Should I call Dr. Argus to check on you? Why don't you go to the hospital now?" A deep concern could be heard from his voice.

Elle let out a soft chuckle once again.

"I am just fine. I feel better now after I got some sleep. By the way, I just want to ask you. Do you have something to do with this incident?" Elle brought up the topic of Catseye as she confronted him.

"No… I didn't do it. Are you suspecting me of trying to mess up your plan?" Supremo asked her with disbelief.

"Hey, don't be so worked up. I am just asking. Are you having a mood swing once again?"

Elle heard Supremo sigh.

"I am worried about you… Elle. That's why I am acting like this." He was sincere.

Elle was rendered speechless. She was aware of his feelings towards her. She somehow felt the guilt deep down her heart.

'I'm sorry.' Elle thought to herself.

After her long silence, Elle spoke up once again.

"Don't worry. I can handle myself. I am not a kid. You are acting like a father once again. I will call you if ever I will be in trouble. Trust me, okay?" Elle tried her best to sound cheerful, reassuring the man on the other line.

"Okay… I understand. Just take care of yourself, please."

"Yes… I will!"
