Love Began with the First Meeting

She was screaming with joy inside her head. 'He did not delete it! Yes! He kept the photo in her phone.' But why was she so emotional last night?

Running her fingers gently on the picture, she smiled through red-rimmed eyes. It was a bitter smile but one that gave her a glimmer of hope. No one would ever know her secret.

Becky was enjoying the sunlight while seated at the hotel's terrace. She sat quietly like a picture.

Yoyo set the breakfast prepared by the hotel on the table and looked at Becky. She sighed inwardly, admiring how beautiful the woman looked at this very moment. "Breakfast is ready, Miss Yan," she announced.

There was no response. There was a faraway look in Becky's eyes although she saw nothing. The woman drew her gaze back and replied distantly,"Wait a moment."

Brian promised to come to the hotel after he finished work last night, but he never came. He gave his word only to break them.

Anticipating his arrival, Becky waited and waited and waited the whole night. Her heart slowly sank as it grew late. She wondered if he changed his mind. Then it crossed her mind that he might have accompanied Molly last night.

So she stood there, waiting how long that moment would last. As the minutes ticked to hours, the warm sun was slowly rising higher. The morning chill was gone.

They were still mad at each other, so there was no way Molly was going there to talk to him or check on his wound. But even as she knew it was impossible

she couldn't take her eyes off his study, until they began to ache again. Molly shut her eyes and turned around. Suddenly, a thought hit her. She took out the phone hurriedly and typed a message quickly.
