Love Began with the First Meeting

"Besides, you don't want to be late for your new job. You're working for me now, at Grand Night Casino," Brian said in a cold tone.

Molly frowned. She didn't want a job like that, so she was going to tell him no. However, as soon as her pen touched the notepad, the cold voice rang out again,"I won't take no for an answer. Do this, or I'll strand Daniel somewhere extremely unpleasant."

Molly suddenly raised her head and glared at Brian with eyes full of fury. She closed her mouth tightly to show her silent protest...

Brian smiled almost imperceptibly. He said indifferently,"Don't forget to let Jason know when you get there. You have the evening shift."

After saying that, Brian gazed at Molly deeply for a moment, and then turned around and trudged back to the villa. Molly stood there and watched his back disappearing into the haze, in much the same way he did with her. Molly did not stop staring in that direction even after Brian disappeared from sight. She didn't come to her senses until a roaring red Maserati stopped next to her.

"Molly! What are you doing?" Eric took a good look at Molly, taking her in from head to toe, and then he looked towards the villa. He asked,"Are you leaving?" Molly glanced at Eric for a scant few seconds.

Eric touched his nose -- he felt snubbed. He turned the car around, and slowed down when he pulled alongside Molly. Eric opened the back hatch and looked at Molly, who didn't pay any attention to him at all. He continued,"Where are you headed? Hop in, I can drive you."
