Chapter 12

A day passed since Elizabeth went out for her mission. Everyone was currently watching the news about Ogre's death. "Good job!" the professor said, ruffling Elizabeth's hair. The professor soon received a call and he left for his office to answer it. He came back later and told Elizabeth the client was pleased and half a million dollars was transferred to their bank account as promised. 

"Listen up!" the Professor shouted. "You've all done incredibly well these past few weeks" "More money has been added into our account" "I'm thinking you all deserve allowance money..." the professor didn't even finish before everyone cheered and tackled him in a hug, knocking off his glasses.

His hair was now resembling a bird's nest. He fumbled around awkwardly before finding his glasses and putting them on.  "I'll be back with the cash in hand" he told them.

They all waited when he left. Minutes passed and he came back. They each received a hundred dollars. The professor returned to his office to make a phone call. "Hello, old friend" "Listen Elderina, I need a favor" "Yeah that's it" "Just need you to wipe out the guards and supervisors along with the CEO of Company X" "Their company's destroyed, but they're not"  "Can't risk letting small pests getting away and becoming troublesome later on"

"We'll talk payment when you finish it"  "Ok, alright bye"  The Professor spun around in his chair and grabbed a ball of gum from the bowl on his desk and popped it in. All he needed to do was wait now.

Meanwhile everyone dispersed and were off to do their own thing. Elizabeth was currently on a tire swing in her room. She was feeling conflicted about Ash. She shrugged it off and decided to go on a walk. The walk was going quite well, but a dog escaped it's leash and she had to chase it down and return it. At least it was adorable. What breed? Elizabeth didn't know or care. She slumped against a carriage, surprised that this chase made her this tired. 

She awoke with a start, thinking she got kidnapped and wanted to curse. Then she realized the carriage she rested on was Ash's. Her eyes met his, and they both felt whole. Regardless of the fact that they've only known each other for less than 2 weeks. Elizabeth was dozing off, when she felt Ash place his coat on her cold body. It was like he knew her so well, but yet she...

Elizabeth gripped the jacket and thanked him. He opened his mouth, but was shushed by her. "Yes I did miss you idiot. Don't make me repeat it" Ash chuckles and shrugs. "Very well"

"Oh, I have your coat with me" she started.

"Oh it's fine. Keep it."

"If you're sure. No changing your mind, or I'll be pissed"

A yawn escaped the Earl's mouth, as he nodded.

The moment she stepped out, she was met with curious and annoying faces of her family.  Deciding to take advantage, Ash introduced himself and said he was her boyfriend, which earned oohs and aahs. Elizabeth started yelling with a bright face. She punched him hard earning a groan, but he was still smiling.
