Love Began with the First Meeting

"Miss Xia, Mr. Long wants to see you," said Tony.

Molly's stomach dropped right away upon hearing what Tony had said. She turned her head a little and looked at the villa, wondering why he wanted to see her all of a sudden. She bit her lips and then answered without arguing," Okay, I see." Then she took a deep breath, went back to the villa, and ran quickly towards Brian's study. She wouldn't want to be late and annoy Brian as she was afraid of being punished.

Brian stood by the window of his study while keenly looking at Molly running back to the villa. A hint of anger flashed through his eyes as he watched.

His mouth was slightly turned down at its corners that made him look so strangely cool yet wicked. A dead silence enveloped his study while he stood there without uttering a word.

In a minute, the silence was broken by a knock at the door. "Come in!" Brian said as he turned around slowly to face the door.

Hearing this, Molly opened the door and saw Brian intently looking at her. She felt a bit disturbed when she saw him staring at her condescendingly with hands in his pockets. Still catching her breath from running and feeling so conscious, Molly stammered the words," I.... heard.... from..."

She paused as she suddenly realized that she didn't even know the name of the man who had just talked to her. So, she just asked embarrassingly," You want to see me?"

"Are you busy?"Brian quickly responded by asking her with a complete poker face while he looked at Molly wryly standing at the door.

Molly smacked her lips and murmured," Yeah.... I have to work at night...."

She didn't like working in the casino but the high pay and considerable tips could support her family. It paid her mother's medication and Daniel's tuition. So though she wouldn't want to work there, she knew that she couldn't afford to lose it.

Brian looked at her with piercing eyes which sharply squinted after hearing her words. A tension developed in the air right away and Molly feeling it, went short of breath.
