Love Began with the First Meeting

Molly finally glanced over at Brian who was leaning back in his chair. Brian looked back at Molly with veiled eyes, raising his glass and drinking the contents in one gulp.

She will not give him the satisfaction. In truth, she wanted to get away from him not only physically but also mentally.

Eric smiled and gestured for the waiter to lead them to their table.

It might be coincidence, but then again, he didn't believe in coincidences, but their table reserved by the restaurant was parallel to Brian's table. Only one table was separating them.

frowned, returning to his seat with a scowl. "It's really a coincidence this time. I didn't arrange this meeting on purpose. Little Molly, please trust me!" His voice was soft and pleading.
