Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 75

Hearing her interesting question, Brian laughed. He let out an evil laugh with conceit and unruly attitude. His laughter echoed over the room and made the hearts of all the people who heard it do a complete somersault. They were scared of the pressure imposed by his laugh, drawn from his innate power and omnipotence.

His reaction freaked her out. She tried her best to calm down and subconsciously, she licked her lips. She found that she was becoming as crazy as Brian since she began to get along with him. Even in a situation like this, she was able to disregard the frozen atmosphere and ask him a question that was so rude and direct!

The room came to a dead silence. The air turned frozen that every one held their breath. Except for Edgar and Bill, no one at the Grand Night Casino knew why this new VIP waitress dared to ask a question like this. And what was even worse, she asked the question of the president of the casino in a rude and flirtatious manner!

"Come here!" Brian's voice was like a sudden clap of thunder which broke the frozen atmosphere in the room. He looked at Molly with his brooding eyes. Actually, he was glad to hear her skittish question, even though he could not tell why. But he knew that a river of warm happiness started flowing and roaring in his heart.

Molly bit her lips and tried to refrain her fear and bewilderment. Eventually, she moved towards him in spite of her unwillingness. While walking, she avoided having eye contact with anyone in the room. Even if she was not able to see their eyes, she knew that all people in the room were scrutinizing her up and down with doubt and mixed feelings. The attention paid to her by everyone was so sharp that she felt like she was taking an X-ray examination.

"Oh..." Molly screamed slightly. Before she could even react to what was happening to her, she found herself falling into Brian's arms. Her head went blank as she was taken aback by his sudden unexpected action. Much more to her surprise, cool and thin lips came close to her face, then touched her lips. All of a sudden, she was enveloped by a slight breath of mint aroma as well as his male hormones.

"Emmm!"

She wanted to resist and struggle due to embarrassment. She was too ashamed at what happened and wished that she could just disappear at that moment. How could he do this to her in front of so many people?

After she hurriedly pushed his well-shaped body away and stood up in haste, she stared at him with prudence and a little anger in her face. However, when she met his brooding eyes which demonstrated a little frivolity, she opened her eyes even wider and gazed at him furiously.

She breathed out deeply and tried to calm down. Licking her lips, she could still savor the taste of Brian in her mouth. After she could breathe a sigh of relief, Edgar suddenly came to her mind. She turned her head towards him while clenching her hands, desiring to know his reaction to Brian's advances towards her. Although she wanted to keep a little dignity for herself, she still feared to see his eyes full of scorn and disgust.

However, it was a pity that he had no reaction and did not even take a glimpse at her at all. Instead, he just looked at Brian with coldness and dissatisfaction. Witnessing the grim on his face, frustration and sadness crept into her heart. She panicked and told herself to stop looking at him so that Edgar would not find her in this awkward situation.

It seemed that Brian noticed her embarrassment. He stood up and lowered his eyes to look at Edgar with indifference, and then said without any emotion,"Well, Mr. Mayor, it seems that you can not win this game today as you wish!"

After saying these words, he held up Molly's hand and directly walked out of the room, pulling Molly with him and ignoring the presence of everyone else.

Seeing that Brian was leaving, Bill stood up and went over to the gambling table in haste where Brian just sat. He was unable to hold himself back and turned over the bottom card left on the table. The spade six! His unveiled bottom card was the spade six!

That was true. Adding this to his cards already on the table, a straight flush of spades was formed. Apparently, not only the spade ace could enable him to beat Edgar, but also the spade six!

As she was being pulled by Brian, Molly could not help but turn her back to see the reactions of the people left in the room. She saw clearly the card in Bill's hand, which was the spade six. It was Brian who won the game. When she was nearly out of the room, she caught a glimpse of Edgar. And he... He was also looking at her. But his eyes looked indifferent as though he did not know her and she was a total stranger to him now. His reaction hurt her deeply, and the sorrow and realization she felt overwhelmed her.

She laughed at herself in her mind, and tried not to look at him anymore. She had no idea whether there was any coincidence between her job in the VIP room today and the game between Brian and Edgar. Maybe it was Brian who arranged for her to provide service on this floor rather than in the hall downstairs in order to involve her in this game. But, she did not want to figure it out now. Sometimes, there were things that she was not willing to face, but still made their way to her existence.

As the dark night encompassed the world, everywhere in the city was dotted with flashing neon lamps.

Since Brian was holding Molly's hand while leaving the Grant Night Casino, she had no time to change her waitress uniform. Only after when they were outside the casino did she realize that it was not yet her time to get off from work. Suddenly, she panicked and could not help shouting out,"I cannot get off from work now!"

"The game has finished!" Brian said softly like water splashed on her face which brought her back to her senses.

She was stunned for a while. Then she realized that the service in VIP room was different from that in the hall. When the game in the VIP room which she served for was finished and there was no other arrangement, her task for the day was done and she could get off from work.

It was chilly outside due to the night wind. Molly did not feel the cold at first because she was too distracted by the spur of events. But now, with only the waitress uniform on her, she felt very cold as the gust of frigid wind blew and could not help trembling.

Seeing her whole body trembling in the cold, Brian slightly frowned. Then, he took off his suit jacket with an indifferent expression on his face. It seemed that he was not willing to do so. Nonetheless, he still put his suit jack on Molly.

"I am not cold!" Molly refused his suit jacket out of instinct and said,"You don't need to take off your suit for me..."

Obviously, Molly's words displeased him. His face turned gloomy, which gave her a hint that she should not continue to refuse. She looked at him thoroughly from the back as he was walking forward, and saw that he only wore a shirt and a waistcoat with his hands in the trouser pockets. She licked her lips and followed his steps walking forward while Tony was driving behind them, keeping a distance.

The aura suddenly became awkward. Molly tried to appease him as the game came back to her mind. So, she asked,"Weren't you afraid that I would wish Mayor Gu to win the game?"

"Of course not!" Brian replied firmly. He stopped walking and stood still with his hands in the pocket, looking at a distant place.

"If I had said I wished Mayor Gu to win the game, what would you have done?" Molly had no idea why she had asked that question. It was just a spur of the moment. However, deep inside, she knew that a part of her wanted to know the answer to this question.
