Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 91

"I've sent a snitch to check where Mrs. Long lives and we've figured out that she and Park Shin Chun are both staying at the MG Hotel."

Brian, whose eyes were fixed on Molly, cleared his voice and quipped,"Perhaps Richie and her have had disagreement over some issues again because of Park Shin Chun. "

As far as Tony could remember, Shirley's obsession with Park Shin Chun had started two years earlier. She had seen him perform at a charity event during one of her travels out of the country with Richie. And ever since, she had become a Park Shin Chun fanatic.

A strange fascination for Shirley's age. It mystified Tony. Of course he and Shirley were different in many ways. That he knew. But it bothered him that she got on Richie's nerves with her obsession, yet she didn't seem to care in the slightest.

Although Park Shin Chun was handsome, within the family, there were two handsome men to whom Park Shin Chun could not hold a candle, despite his international fame. So her infatuation didn't make sense to Tony at all. At the thought of this, Tony wanted to laugh, but restrained himself after a cursory look at Brian.

"So Mrs. Long..."

"Anyway, let her alone, although Richie may still assign Antonio to stay by her side," Brian cut in nonchalantly.

Despite her insensitive obsessions, Richie still doted on Shirley and would never let her go out alone. Maybe, this time he didn't tag along due to his other commitments. In that case, there was no doubt that she had Antonio by her side.

"I'm also made to understand that it was Mrs. Long who shared a table with Molly last night at the dessert shop," Tony said.

Not sure if he heard Tony said right, Brian gave him a suspicious look as if to ask for confirmation, to which Tony just nodded. Then Brian looked at Molly knowingly.

Unperturbed, Molly kept her head stooped, ignoring them like their conversation was just a chit chat, to which she didn't give a hoot.

In a snit, Brian's eyes flashed. Perhaps he was displeased with Molly's indifference, or maybe he was annoyed that Shirley ducked into the ladies to avoid him and Wing when she saw them together last night.

"Who hired those bikers?" a sullen Brian asked, staring at Molly.

Apparently reading Brian's mind, Tony started,"They look like a group of gangsters, but..."

As though he had unraveled the most important clue to the bikers puzzle, Tony paused, affecting a pensive mood. Sensing his silence Molly slowly raised her head to catch his eyes. Then she looked at Brian, who was similarly lost in thought. Disinterested, she put her head down and turned around to face the wall.

To her, it didn't matter, who the hooligans were, who hired them or how it ended with them.

Seeing the mess she was in at the moment, she didn't feel the need of poking her nose into things that would not add value to her life.

The way Brian treated people was so unfair, and she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

While Brian seemed to have slumped into angry, Tony was trying top sniff of the trouble, tapping his nose, like a sage, his brain running different possible scenarios. "I have it figured out. They must be members of the Sacred Domain," he finally said.

Grouchy, Brian ignored Tony's words. Instead, he took his laptop, booted up, and quickly typed with his slender fingers. The instructions flashed across the screen.

Accustomed to Brian's recent strange moods and behaviours, Tony simply shrugged.

After Molly had breakfast, Brian left, without telling her whether to go back to the villa or not. So Molly stayed put at the hospital. She preferred that to staying at the villa.

As soon as she was alone, Molly took the phone and sent a message to Shirley. They made an appointment to meet near the sculpture in front of the Star Public Stadium, the day after tomorrow. Putting aside the quilt, Molly got out of bed to freshen up. She then went out of the ward and realized she stayed in the best VIP ward.

Thanks to Brian, she had been admitted here twice this week!
