Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 84

Molly's voice was covered by the huge noise around them in the alley. Soon as they disappeared in the crowd, Eric came back with a few hundred dollars bills in his hand and he looked a bit disheveled. His hair was no longer in order, which, surprisingly, seemed to add some style to him. He looked around, but did not see Molly. He frowned and dialed her number, but it went straight to voice mail.

"Where is she?" He was worried about her.

Around that time, the stall owner found enough recovery from his shock to ask him, "Are you looking for the girl who was with you just now?"

"Yes, where is she?"

"She just left. She asked me to give you her phone number if you came back." The stall owner gave him the paper with the telephone number.

"Thanks" He took the paper and turned around to leave. Then he remembered that he hadn't paid for the fish balls. He took out a hundred dollar bill and gave it to the owner, indifferently saying, "Keep the change!"

The owner was ecstatic. The deal was highly favorable. One hundred dollar bill for one string of fish balls. Wonderful!

Eric left the noisy environment of the Alley and took out his phone to call the number. But soon as he typed the first three or four digits, he frowned. "Isn't this Aunt Shirley's phone number? That's impossible!"

In great confusion, Eric dialled the number anyway.

"What a nice surprise! Eric, why are you calling me so late?" On the phone, Shirley seemed to be confused too and had no idea why Eric was calling her.

Hearing her dishonest words, Eric's eyes became extremely cold all of a sudden, and he asked directly, "Aunt Shirley, are you in A City now?"

"No, how is that possible!" she denied defensively. "How can I be in A City?"

Her playful tone did not help and he believed her no more. He directly asked as he had no alternative left, "Auntie, are you with Molly now? "

"……" 'What a marvelous world!' Shirley thought. She turned around and found that Molly was lost in the sights of the alley, and was unaware that Shirley was on the phone. Shirley replied affirmatively to Eric.

"Does Brian know that you came to A City?" Eric asked in a low voice. He seemed unhappy.

"You will not betray me, right, Eric?" Shirley avoided the question.

Leaning back on his car, Eric held the phone with one hand and crossed the other one. With an evil smile, he replied, "Your son is your trouble, Auntie! I won't get involved."

"You're the best!" Shirley's smile was so big that even her eyes were covered by her happiness. And she said, "So you're the one Little Molly was waiting for! I did not see that coming."

"Is that very strange?" Eric asked. His eyes took a brooding look and he said, "I was worried something had happened to Molly, but since she is with you, I am sure she's safe."

"Oh, one more thing!" Eric added slowly in a low voice. "I have some urgent matters to deal with right now. Since Little Molly is with you, can you do me a favor and send her back home ?"

"Of course, I will!" Shirley replied rapidly without any hesitation.

"Can you ask her to answer the phone?"

"Take the phone, Little Molly." Shirley asked Molly to come back from her thoughts.

"What phone? Who's there?" Molly looked at Shirley in confusion, but took it anyway. "This is Molly."

When Molly was pulled into an elegant dessert shop by Shirley, she was still confused. Eric had told her that he was busy and could not take her home. Aunt Shirley was his relative and she could do that. How was that possible?

What a coincidence!

After Molly hung up the phone, Aunt Shirley said that she felt like Molly was an old friend and wanted to spend more time with her. Since she was hungry, she wanted some dessert, which she invited Molly to join in. At first, Molly did not want to go, but she could not refuse Aunt Shirley's invitation. Therefore, they went together.

And more importantly, Brian's villa was almost on the other side of the city. Without a single penny left on her, she would have to go back on foot and wouldn't arrive there until even the next morning.

"A mousse cake and a cup of savoury milk tea!" Shirley ordered without a glance at the menu. Then she looked at Molly and asked, "What would you like to have?"

Molly was taken aback by the prices on the menu. "I... I am not hungry at all... Just a glass of water would be fine!"

"Give her the same as mine!" Shirley, with all her smartness, easily understood what embarrassed Molly, and avoided the sensitive financial issue. "You are slim enough! You don't have to lose weight!" she told Molly.

"OK, please wait for a minute!" The waiter took away the menu and left.

Shirley liked her embarrassed red face. She was particularly fond of an innocent girl without ruses.

"By the way, how did you know Eric? Are you his girlfriend?" Shirley asked with a smile. Molly was dressed in a luxurious business suit, tailor-made in Italy. She assumed that it belonged to Eric. She had no idea Eric was so caring!

"No, no, no, that is not true. We..." Molly bit her lips and thought about her relationship with Brian. Her eyes became dim and said, "We're just friends!"

"Oh...I see" Shirley understood that Molly didn't want to talk about it, so she changed the subject. "Are you free the day after tomorrow?"

Molly looked at her in confusion. She had no idea why she had asked that question, but she nodded a yes.

"I have two tickets to Park Shin Chun's concert, but I don't want to go alone. If you're free, we can go together, " Shirley said with such happiness that her eyes seemed to enlarge.

Molly frowned slightly and thought: she had to work in the Grand Night Casino at night but was free during the day. And Brian didn't stop her from going out these days...

Finding her hesitation, Shirley said, "Just for accompanying me, OK?. You see, I barely know anyone here, and Eric doesn't like concerts. Only you can go with me. If you don't, the ticket will be wasted! It's really valuable!"

Shirley emphasized her tone and tried to beguile Molly into going to the concert.

Molly could not refuse her as she looked at Shirley's face. This was the concert of Park Shin Chun, the greatest star in the Republic of Korea! Molly nodded after a while. "OK, if I don't have any prior engagements, I'll go with you. "

"That would be great!" Shirley was really happy. She took out a pen and a piece of paper, and wrote down her telephone number for Molly. "This is my phone number. You've lost your mobile phone. Call me when you can, OK?"

"OK, I will call you!" Molly nodded.

While they were talking, the waiter brought the food and drinks to the table. Shirley liked her mousse cake, which was evident from her satisfied expressions. As they were enjoying their food, a car arrived in front of the dessert shop and a while later Brian walked into the shop with a woman.
