Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 175

The party didn't last long because of the concert scheduled to be held the next day. At about 10 pm, people began gradually leaving the hall.

On the second day, the weather remained good. It seemed that God was content and approving of the current society.

All forms of media from TVs, newspapers and magazines in A City were all concerned about the charity concert which was going to be held by Wing in the Golden Auditorium, as well as Spark. They were trying to figure out the music that Wing and Spark planed to play at the event. What's more, some media outlets even conducted quizzes to guess the right answer and win gifts.

The following day, Molly woke up early in the morning. In the past, she had spent all her time working. And now, even though she didn't need to work and struggle that hard, she still maintained her internal clock and schedule.

When she went downstairs, she spotted Brian leisurely crouched on the sofa and watching TV. Usually he only paid attention to news. But today, all the channels were reporting about the concert tonight. He was now watching entertainment news to hear the latest buzz.

Molly curled her lip when she saw this new development. She was a little disappointed when Brian paid attention upon hearing anything about Wing. But on a second thought, she recalled her own identity, and felt relieved about the entire scene.

Brian fixed his gaze on the television set. Despite knowing that Molly was looking right at him, he paid no heed to that. He stood up to fetch coffee which was kept on the table.

But right when... He was about to grab the coffee, the cup was suddenly pulled away. Some drops of coffee splashed across the table leaving a trail.

Brian frowned and cast a fierce look at her as he grew annoyed by her attention-seeking behavior.

"It's not healthy to drink coffee on an empty stomach. Do eat something. I am advising you!" said Molly. She turned a blind eye to his fierce look. Then she took the coffee away and went to the kitchen to lovingly pour a cup of hot milk for him instead.

Glancing at the cup of milk which she placed on the table, Brian said calmly, ''You've been acting so weird over the past two days!"

"Oh it is nothing like that. I'm OK!" defended Molly. She shrugged her shoulders and sat down on the sofa to drink the milk right beside him.

Brian now focused his attention to her and now it was Molly who was watching TV. It was a news report on the funds raised at the party last night. She carefully checked the figures displayed on the flat screen. There were over ten digits before the decimal point...

Her eyes widened in surprise and she counted again just to ensure she read it right. Finally she was certain she had made no mistake. Stunned and dazed, she said,"Oh my god, Wing is such a big influence..."

'More than one billion has been raised in the matter of a few hours... There are so many rich people in the world who contributed to our cause.' she thought.

Brian was still looking at her. There was a ring of milk around her pink lips as she finished sipping it. Adding the expression on her face to the child like behavior made her look extremely adorable.

"Bri, how much money did you donate? I am just curious to know?" asked Molly suddenly. She turned her face towards Brian and as she gazed into his fiery eyes which seemed mellow at the moment. She winked and nervously said,"Eh... You don't have to answer my inappropriate question."

Suddenly, Brian stretched out his arms to hold Molly into his arms. He then kissed her on the lips and gently licked her tender lips. He smiled gently when he noticed that Molly grew nervous. Brian then teased her to ease the moment,"Well, nice milk. Yummy..."

Her face turned as red as an apple at once upon hearing his flirtatious remark. She could barely hold the cup. She closed her mouth and looked at Brian with embarrassment.

With a wicked smile, Brian responded to her question,"Nothing, I donated nothing!"

"What are you saying?" Molly shouted in surprise as she could not believe him.

Brian sneered and said coldly, ''Leave Wing's and Spark's influence alone. The presence of Eric itself brought in a lot of donation at the event..."

Many people from all around the world wanted to get associated with and impress the Dragon Empire Group. Normally, there was no easy way to take on such a feat. But now, Wing's concert was the best platform for them to get hold of such an opportunity.

Molly was confused. She lived in upper-class family as she was growing up. But she was too young to memorize anything. What Brian said seemed strange yet familiar to her mind.

Brian stayed put in the villa the entire day. First he began the day with watching news on TV with Molly the whole morning. Molly felt extremely weird about that as he had never done this before. Though after lunch, he went to the study. Soon, Harrow came, stayed for less than an hour and then left with a grave expression.

The only thing Molly knew for sure about Brian was that he was powerful with a good standing in the society and owned the Grand Night Casino. She failed to find out what his exact job was.

As it grew dark, outside the Golden Auditorium, policemen gathered to maintain law and order and various media staffers were going crazy clicking pictures. Unlike at the party held the previous night, taking photos and video was not allowed at the charity concert. Like any charity concert in the past, this concert tonight was only concerned with providing live music for its audience present there. There was no other way to listen to the concert. That's why so many people were willing to buy tickets even at unreasonable high prices. All the profit from the event would be directed to donation.

Weston was carrying out the final integration and inspection round at the concert hall. He was a violoncellist as well as Wing's employed accompanist. He wouldn't appear on any stage except in Wing's concert. He was more than willing to devote his enthusiasm for music to make Wing happy.

The concert was set to begin at 8 pm, and to accommodate that entry began at 7:30 pm. The crowd began to gather outside enthusiastically much before the scheduled time. The policemen maintaining order outside were speechless upon seeing the mass. They were all amazed to find that the concert tonight was more crowded than the one held by Park Shin Chun the other day.
