Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 73

"Interesting, very interesting! You are really good at playing jokes, Mr. Long. Let us put aside the fact that she is your woman, but even though she is not, do you think I will have any interest in a loose woman? A woman is just like a pair of shoes. Do you think I will buy a pair that has been worn by somebody else?" He said all these with indifference. Edgar knew too well that if he showed any sign of interest in Molly in front of Brian, he was afraid that Molly would have a real hard time because of him.

After a thorough investigation on Brian, he was still at lost on Brian's background and information. All his efforts to find out information about Brian was useless. Even though he used his power to utilize the military investigation company, he still was not able to procure detailed information about him. And when he tried to dig deeper, the clue chain was cut off. What he got was only insignificant messages. And even with these messages, he sometimes felt that someone just wanted to lead him to those misleading messages intentionally.

There were plenty of cases when his investigation team were off base and when they found it, it was too late: all the clues had been eliminated with nothing left and all their endeavors were left in vain.

This man, in spite of his young age, possessed great power that enabled him to hide all information about him as he wished. He could control all the information about him and ensure that nobody would know his true identity and status.

It was too dangerous for Molly to stay with this man who covered in mystery.

With all of Edgar's attention focused on Brian, and given his indirect sight angle, it was impossible for him to see who had come into the room even if he would want to. But most importantly, he did not think that the person who had walked into the room would be someone very important.

Just then, his heart did a complete somersault when he saw Brian's evil smile unfolding in front of his eyes. Soon after, Bill let out a scream in a low voice which made Edgar's curiosity grow even more so he turned his head to look at Bill, desiring to know what happened. With a hint given by Bill, Edgar shifted his gaze to the door.

Regret filled his eyes as soon as he saw the woman standing at the door. If he had a choice, he would rather choose not to see. But unfortunately, there was no room for regret. He was so shocked when he recognized the person standing at the door that he even forgot to hide his facial expression and surprise at that very moment.

Molly held the tray to serve the wine, which the manager, Jason, had asked her to bring inside the room while urging her again and again," This wine is very expensive. Be very careful..."

Today was the first day that she had come back to work in the casino. Since the day that she had been in a coma, it seemed that Brian had changed his attitude and treated her differently. He treated her neither too tenderly nor too violently. He somehow became normal and did not go to extremes any more. Sometimes, they would have dinner together, during which he would talk to her and say something about himself. There were times when she also told him some things which happened in the villa, although most of the matters were penny-ante. The way he spoke to and treated her made her feel so comfortable and natural that she thought it was not necessary to fear Brian any more.

She still remembered what he said yesterday noon while they were having lunch. He gazed at her and asked," Do you find life boring here in the villa?"

It was maybe because they got along really well these days and she felt so relaxed instead of being scared that she almost forgot the fact that Brian was capricious. His temper was just like the weather in London, you would never predict what would happen the next moment. Therefore, she just replied with her real thoughts," Yes, that is true. It is actually kind of boring here. I have nothing to do except for eating meals, sleeping, or reading books. If it were in spring, I could plant some flowers. But now, I can not do anything. Quite boring. Indeed."

Hearing her complaints, he just looked at her pursed lips and made no reaction. After a while, he sipped the coffee in his hand without saying a word as though he were thinking about what she had said. She even found that his eyes brightened a bit at that moment.

Witnessing his reaction to her reply, her heart skipped a beat and knew that it was a mistake to blurt it all out. Obviously, this capricious man was displeased with what she had just said. As much as she wanted to take it all back and acknowledge her fault, it was too late. While her mind was thinking of ways to salvage the situation by instinct, Brian said softly all of a sudden," Given the fact that you are bored with life here in the villa, you should go to work."

Shocked was an understatement when she heard his command. Molly felt her facial expression looked more astonished than seeing a UFO! She even thought she might have hallucinated what she just heard.

"Okay, sounds good. You had better come back to the Grand Night Casino. I will arrange your working schedule and you just have to follow it."

At that time, Brian said it softly without any hint of anger. Then, he put the coffee mug down on the table and stood up. Obviously, he did not want to say anything else and ended the discussion. Afterwards, he reached out the coat handed over by Tony and left the villa.

That night, Jason called her on the mobile phone given by Brian after that day when she fell down and fainted. It was the first call that she had received since she had that mobile phone. He asked her to come back to work in the Grand Night Casino the next day. She was too excited and overwhelmed with the news and she only remembered that she just kept on saying her gratitude rather than asking what work she would be doing the next day.

She thought that she would just continue working in the main hall like she used to until she came to the casino earlier today. Much to her surprise, Jason guided her directly to the floor dedicated for VIPs. She asked Jason why he took her to that floor instead of the main hall. In her mind, employees who were qualified to serve VIPs in the Grand Night Casino should have gone through intensive specialized training for a long period of time, while she, a new comer in the service industry at the casino, had neither sufficient experience nor skills to qualify her for that task.

She worked hard the whole night with great caution and care. She really did not want to lose that job out of stupid mistake or carelessness. Besides, she also did not want to disgrace Brian. He sure used his connections so that she could get a job on the VIP floor. Otherwise, she would have still continued serving the guests in the main hall.

Just after she finished serving the guests in one VIP room, Jason asked her to bring this bottle of wine into this room. Of course, she obeyed attentively and was seriously determined to do a good job.Jason repeatedly emphasized the significance of serving the guests in this room very well and to take great caution of the wine, so she took it in her mind to be very careful of it.

As soon as Molly opened the door, the frozen atmosphere overwhelmed her. Obviously, the aura in this room was indifferent and a bit tense. She could not help but grow very nervous with the ambiance. When she raised her eyes to look around the room, she found Brian and Edgar sitting opposite at the two ends of the big gambling table. What a surprise! She was stunned to discover the fact that they were both in the same room. But what was even more surprising was the words full of disdain coming out from Edward's mouth.

What was it that she heard faintly just now when she opened the door?
