Love Began with the First Meeting

Brian's cheek burnt, and his head turned to one side from the force of the slap.

The master control room fell silent, as everyone held their breath and looked at Molly and Brian in surprise. They didn't dare make any sound, fearing that even a small gasp would lead to a bigger disaster.

Jason and Tony were the most shocked. They stood there dumbfounded, forgetting how to even react. Mr. Brian Long was not a person to be trifled with. They had never seen anyone who would dare slap him, or anyone who even had a chance to get close to him and hurt him. Astonished, the two men exchanged glances and frowned. They couldn't imagine what Molly would have to go through next.

Molly sensed the tension in the air. She felt a burning pain in her palm. It was different from the last time she had slapped him in the car. Previously, she had done it accidentally and in a panic. But this time, she had slapped him on purpose and with all her strength.

Brian slowly turned his face back in her direction, his sideburns slightly trembling and his eyes as ghastly as a ghost. When he finally moved to face her straight, he glared at her with his fierce black eyes. He bit his lip and narrowed his sharp eyes. A devilish light flashed in his eyes and it froze the air around them and sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

Molly stepped back instinctively, but it was only one step backwards.

She shot daggers at him and clenched her hand which had just slapped Brian. She felt a surge of pain from her palm. She had struck him too hard with her hand and there were still small wounds which were caused by the pieces of broken glass. But only with such intense pain could she keep her head clear and tell herself that she should not be afraid. Even though she was a humble woman, she would stand straight, face him, and keep her chin up.

Everyone tensed and the frozen air seemed to take their breath away. Brian had been focusing his intense gaze on Molly, silently. No one dared to pant or utter a single word before him. Brian was like a fireball now, which could burst at any moment once it was triggered. And in the blink of an eye, the whole world would turn into ashes. That was the kind of temper he had.
