Love Began with the First Meeting

"It's late. Probably it's a good time to end your shift. Have a good night," Justin ordered. It wasn't until Jona left that he got up and sauntered out to the balcony. He lit a cigarette and took a long drag. As he smoked, he thought, 'Oh, Molly. Rory's baby daughter continues to surprise me. Not only did she make Edgar do a lot for her but also Mr. Brian Long and even Eric, future boss of Dragon Island, both treat her differently.'

Justin exhaled a cloud of nicotine-laced vapor. His eyes became more complicated, as if he was plotting something.

Justin's ringtone broke the quiet of the night.

He frowned and took the phone from his pocket. When he saw who dialed, he snapped from impatience to reverence at once. "Sir."

"How's everything going?" the commander asked on the other end.

"As far as I know, well." Justin replied, in a tone full of respect for his superior.

"Mr. Brian Long is about to put his fingers in the State Parliament pie. I don't care whether he's an conservative faction guy or is just bored. Get rid of him."

"Yes, sir!" Justin promised.

"You should," said the commander meaningfully on the phone,"make this clean. I'm tired of mopping up your messes. Your superiors might get tired of it."

"I see what you mean, sir." Justin said in all seriousness,"I'll get it right this time. No one will ever know."

"All right. See to it."

After the commander finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Justin slowly put down his phone and massaged his forehead. He felt a headache coming on.

'Now things are really heating up. Conservative faction vs. Reformist faction. Jonny has been waiting for the right time to come here. This time, Rory got here first. I can't let Jonny pay Steven off. Otherwise, we'll be exposed.'
