Love Began with the First Meeting

Justin narrowed his eyes after Brian spoke.

He ignored Molly and instead focused on Brian with a sly smile on his face.

He finally said,"Mr. Brian Long, your reputation serves you well."

"Well, thanks. That's very flattering." Brian replied lightheartedly even though he could sense the sarcasm in Justin's voice. He tightly held Molly's hand as he rubbed her palm. "Mr. Justin Yan, you'd better be sure of what you're doing because if you make a mistake, I'm afraid we'll have to do something about it and it's not gonna be pretty. What do you think?"

Justin was taken aback at what Brian had said but he didn't show it. After all, he had been in politics for as long as he could remember, so he knew how to play. He looked at Brian dead in the eyes and chuckled,"Brian Long, you are a newborn calf fighting with the tigers."

"Whatever," Brian looked down and fixated his eyes on Molly's hand in his palm. Molly's hand was oddly icy cold - he frowned at this before turning to speak to Justin again,"I'm not interested in anyone else's business so I don't like it when someone's interested in mine. So I want someone to know that I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty." Before Justin could respond, Brian looked at Justin with a sneer on his face. "I don't like making enemies but I don't mind having to add one more to my list."

Brian kept the sneer on his face and his eyes turned black - not a single color could be seen.

Justin couldn't be fazed though, he reflected the same sneer that was on Brian's face and he started a stare off with him. No one was speaking for a while and it was getting more and more tense as the clock ticked. The atmosphere was thick and no one could breathe for a while.

Molly held her breath - she didn't know what to do. She didn't understand why Justin was here and Rory wasn't.

was proud even. He arrogantly put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the door stopping only for a while to turn his head and harshly warn Justin,"Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Mr. Justin Yan, escape while you still can." Brian relished at the sight of Justin
