Love Began with the First Meeting

Molly stared at the money in her hand, and a bitter smile appeared on her face. She lowered her head and quietly walked out of the store. Her eyebrows knitted as the dazzling sunbeam reflecting off the snow on the ground hurt her eyes. She closed her eyes for a while and then opened them again before looking up at the sky.

The sky was a clear blue, and the sun was shining bright. Yet she could barely feel any warmth on such a sunny day.

Great mocking sorrow flashed in her eyes, and she felt so helpless. Her eyes looked deep yet lifeless as she moved her gaze onto the busy people passing by on the road and observed them for a while. Then she dragged her weary body and hailed a taxi.

"Where do you want to go, miss?" asked the driver politely.

"Please take me to..." Molly paused as she was replying to the driver's question. She was supposed to tell the driver her home's address, but she suddenly fell into deep thought and after a moment, she continued,"... to the Falloon Mall!"

"Okay!" replied the driver as he started the car. Molly wearily leaned her back against the seat and then looked blankly out of the window. The scenery covered with white snow quickly flashed past.

Even though her life had been so rough and difficult, she never left and set herself free. Instead, she worked hard and made money, not for herself, but for her family. She had no choice but to pay her mother's medical bills and her brother's tuition… not to mention her father's debt!

Eric drove his car and rushed to the M-blue Restaurant. He went into the lobby and a waiter led him to a private room right away. Two other men were already inside, waiting for him.

As soon as Eric stepped inside, he met Brian's eyes sharply gazing at him, which he nonchalantly returned with a brief smile. He then turned to the other man sitting opposite to Brian, and said,"Sorry, I was delayed by some urgent affairs."
