Love Began with the First Meeting

Earlier Molly had comforted herself, but now when the man stood at the door, she was so scared that she even forgot to breathe.

She just bit her lip and kept her eyes wide open.

In contrast, Shirley was unruffled.

From a young age, she'd had many horrifying experiences, especially during her time under the XK Intelligence Agency. Thus perhaps she wasn't afraid in the current misfortune.

"Little Molly, don't be afraid. I'm here with you," Shirley comforted in a soft voice, sensing Molly was very frightened.

Biting her lip, Molly turned her head to look at Shirley. As their eyes met, Shirley put on a smile for her. It calmed Molly down slightly. Lately, in her darkest hours, it seemed she always had heard someone say those same words.

But from different people the words gave her mixed feelings. Overbearing, mischievous, and insincere attitudes, she always read in those words. They made her feel unreal. But Shirley sounded genuine and her words were reassuring.

Shirley then flashed Molly a big smile. While fixing her eyes on the man at the door, she tried to untie the rope which bound their hands.
