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