My Devious Soul

Partner

Elijah's POV:
The next day...
I woke up early and started working to find Hugo.I sent Bruno to investigate and give me information where he could be.

While working in my office,I tried to forget what happened in the last few days and tried to focus on what's important.

Pierre called informing me that Yves' body is gone which made me feel relieved,one problem was gone.

Sasha came by to bring me lunch and we both ate together.After she left,I kept working and tried to plan my next moves.Ariyon called me too and wanted to know how everything went,I assured him everything is fine now and he doesn't have to worry.

05:00 pm
While I was taking a break from working and was outside in the balcony with my lighter in my right hand,my phone rang.I didn't respond at first,but then it kept calling and I decided to pick it up.

I answered.

"Sir,I found the information you need about Hugo."Bruno maintained politely."I'm all ears."I responded without hesitation.

"There's going to be an event with all the new recruits."Bruno informed."They all will come with their love partners."Bruno added.

I was silent for a few secondsa.

"Thank you,I'll call you,if I need something."I announced him and hung up.

After the phone call with Bruno,I tried to remake my plans.I couldn't send someone else to assassinate Hugo,I wanted to be one who kills him.

I thought and thought when suddenly an idea popped in my mind.

I took my phone and dialed a number.

"Hello!"Yana greeted on a soft tone."Hi,do you have a minute?"I asked politely."Yeah,sure,what is it?"She replied.

I didn't say anything at first,but then I uttered"I need your help."

I couldn't believe either what I said,because I never needed the help from someone else.

"Sure."Yana responded showing interest in helping me."Would it be alright,if you could come by?"I wanted to know.

It was silence on the other side of the phone.

"Yeah,I'll be there after work."Yana accepted friendly.I thanked her and hung up.

Yana's POV:
I was working on my Mac in my office when Elijah called me.He politely asked for my help and I accepted.When I was done at the office,I took my car and drove to Elijah's place.

I pressed the doorbell button and waited a few seconds until I heard his footsteps.He opened the door with a smile on his face and greeted me respectfully,I greeted back.

I entered the apartment while he closed the door behind me.

"Let's sit down at the bar."Elijah suggested friendly.I nodded and we both walked over to the bar.

While I sat down,he walked behind the bar taking.

"What would you like to drink?"He wanted to know smiling at me."A Bellini,please."I responded smiling.

As Elijah was preparing the drinks,we talked.

I could tell that he still couldn't accept that we lost the case,well I lost it to be more specific.

He handed me the glasses and sat down next to me.We knocked the glasses and took a sip.

"So,how can I help you?"I wanted to know putting the glass away."Well first,I hope your boyfriend won't get mad-"Elijah started speaking,but I him interrupted by asking being confused"Boyfriend?"

Elijah's cheeks blushed a little.

"Ian?"He asked bewildered."Ian is not my boyfriend."I claimed with honesty."I'm charge of him since he's an internee and we are best friends."I added wanting to make myself clear.

Elijah nodded surprised finally understanding.

"Ah alright."He muttered feeling uncomfortable that he asked.

"So,how can I help you?"I asked again.

"I need you to do a favor for me."Elijah uttered putting his glass away.I listend and let him continue.

"I must attend to an event,but the catch is..."He started explaining."That I need to come with a partner."He added and waited for me to answer.

For a few seconds I froze,it felt awkward to be honest.I felt there was a big tension between us suddenly,but I tried to break it and asked curiously"What about Sasha?"He explained clearly"She's in Miami for a week."I nodded understanding it.

Elijah tried to excuse himself from requesting something like that and said"If you want to,I don't force you."

But I exclaimed without hesitation or any regret that I'll do it.

Elijah frowned a little and asked"Are you sure?"I nodded instantly assuring him.He smiled and said"Thank you!"I smiled back.

"When's the event?"I wanted to know while grabbing after my glass."Saturday night at 09:00."He replied."I'll pick you up at 08:00."Elijah informed being a gentleman.I thanked before I asked what it is about.

"My uncle got me in a club with some businessmen where we meet,discuss business and have fun...stuff like that."Elijah simply replied,I nodded.

I left after I finished my glass,thanked and drove back home.
