Love Began with the First Meeting

"Why are you just coming home now?" Brian asked flatly. Even though he knew very well that Molly asked to get off John's car from somewhere near the villa and asked if she could walk back alone. During that walk, Molly talked to Spark who had been following her.

"I was looking for a job," Molly said calmly, "You said I just need to be here at night."

Brian turned his head to look at her. She was surprisingly calm at that moment. He frowned and said, "Molly, is this how it's going to be now?"

Molly clenched her hands into fists, turned back, and spat, "My attitude depends on how you treat me. I don't owe you anything now and if it wasn't for Spark and all those other people, do you think I'd willingly be here?"

Her harsh words hurt Brian. He saw how apathetic Molly had become. He wore a twisted smile and said indifferently, "In that case, I suggest you behave in such a way that will please me because otherwise, I wouldn't have a choice but make them miserable."

The corners of Molly's lips twitched but she managed to hold her tongue in. She loosened her clenched hands and said, "I'm going upstairs to change."

As soon as Molly turned around, the door flew open - it was Lucy. She looked at Molly quickly then back at Brian, "Mr. Brian Long!"

"Yes?"

"I'm launching my first art exhibition the day after tomorrow, would you..." Lucy trailed off, hesitating for a moment before continuing, "like to see it?"

Brian saw in Lucy's eyes how much she was expecting he'd be there but he still refused her, "No," he continued, "But Lisa and John can have a day off then."

Lucy shifted from being disappointed to happiness, "Mr. Brian Long, thank you so much. Well, if you don't want anything else, I'll be going now." Lucy walked out extremely satisfied. When she closed the door; she slowly turned around, looked behind, and started walking. A twisted smile could be clearly seen on her face - a complete turn from the childish face she put on for Brian.

Molly changed her clothes and went out without having lunch first. She just said that she wanted to find a job soon. But in reality, she just didn't want to be at the villa a second longer.

Brian didn't go out that afternoon. He was standing in front of the window in his study that faced
