Love Began with the First Meeting

Grinding her teeth and gripping the coat in her hands tightly, Eda glared at Molly in rage. In her typical jaundiced manner, it seemed that she was blaming her own faults and disgrace on Molly.

Frowning, Shirley was considering to intercede for Eda as she looked so pitiful now. Originally, Shirley had just planned to give her a lesson but not to get her fired. However, when she saw the resentful look in Eda's eyes, she gave up the idea of helping her. If Eda kept staying here, the event that had happened today would definitely repeat over and over again. Now it would be like killing criminals to deter crime. The Dragon Empire Group would be better without her.

Meeting Eda's angry eyes, Molly somehow felt a little guilty. She had thought Eda would only get scolded or warned, but this was way more serious.

Suddenly, the hand on her shoulder grasped her harder. She turned to look at Eric, who gave her a consoling glance. Then squinting at the coat in Eda's hands, Eric commanded,"As the assistant manager, you knew the coat was defective. But instead of telling customers about that, you still tried to charge them the full price. You must face disciplinary action, based on the regulation of the Dragon Empire Group."

Basing on the regulation of the Dragon Empire Group meant she'd leave on summary dismissal. She'd also be painfully aware of Molly's turn of fortune. Worse still, with her deplorable financial state, the loss of her job would be devastating. She'd live sighing on the slim chance that every dog has its day.

"And, that coat had been twisted by you," Eric kept his gaze on the coat gripped firmly in Eda's hands. "Since that coat is defective, we'll seek compensation from you at 90% discount!"

Hearing Eric's words, Eda's heart sank. Even on 90% discount, the cost of this coat would still run into tens of thousands.

"Why on earth should I compensate?" Eda queried, her chest heaving in anger. Anyway she would be fired without wages for sure, so she was afraid of nobody here now.

"Because you upset my wife," said Eric, arrogantly. "This is your little punishment for that."

Then, he held Molly, who was still in shock, in his arms to leave. As they turned around, they caught someone staring at them with a smile. By instinct, they both turned to look in the direction of the stare over Frank.

When her eyes met Brian's, Molly's face turned pale. A feeling of guilty descended on her like a thick dark blanket. He had caught her cheating on him. And that frightened her to the bone.

Unconsciously, she struggled to get out of Eric's arms. But wearing a defiant, evil smile, Eric held her even harder.

Seeing Brian, a smug smile formed on Shirley's face. But as Brian came closer, her smile faded. His anger was palpable.
