Love Began with the First Meeting

Molly's voice was covered by the huge noise around them in the alley. Soon as they disappeared in the crowd, Eric came back with a few hundred dollars bills in his hand and he looked a bit disheveled. His hair was no longer in order, which, surprisingly, seemed to add some style to him. He looked around, but did not see Molly. He frowned and dialed her number, but it went straight to voice mail.

"Where is she?" He was worried about her.

Around that time, the stall owner found enough recovery from his shock to ask him, "Are you looking for the girl who was with you just now?"

"Yes, where is she?"

"She just left. She asked me to give you her phone number if you came back." The stall owner gave him the paper with the telephone number.

"Thanks" He took the paper and turned around to leave. Then he remembered that he hadn't paid for the fish balls. He took out a hundred dollar bill and gave it to the owner, indifferently saying, "Keep the change!"

The owner was ecstatic. The deal was highly favorable. One hundred dollar bill for one string of fish balls. Wonderful!

Eric left the noisy environment of the Alley and took out his phone to call the number. But soon as he typed the first three or four digits, he frowned. "Isn't this Aunt Shirley's phone number? That's impossible!"

In great confusion, Eric dialled the number anyway.

"What a nice surprise! Eric, why are you calling me so late?" On the phone, Shirley seemed to be confused too and had no idea why Eric was calling her.

Hearing her dishonest words, Eric's eyes became extremely cold all of a sudden, and he asked directly, "Aunt Shirley, are you in A City now?"

"No, how is that possible!" she denied defensively. "How can I be in A City?"
