Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 234

Molly had a firm grip on her door and was frightened by what was happening. Her eyes blew wide open and her face turned pale in shock. She didn't recover even after the car stopped at the Grand Night Casino.

Molly glared at Brian in anger and gasped for air, but there was nothing she could do to him.

The latter turned his gaze to look at Molly whose face was full of wrath. "I learned how to drive from Uncle Frank - Eric's father, who was the youngest champion of Formula 1," he said lightly.

Brian smirked with pride and unbuckled his seat belt, getting out of the car. Actually, Frank had only taught him how to shift gears. He had picked up all the other skills in the automobile races with Richie.

Molly got out too, mumbling to herself. She followed Brian into the elevator. Lost in her angry thoughts, she didn't realize where they were going until they arrived at the top floor of the casino.

Molly had worked here for quite long. Although she had never been here before, she knew that the top floor of the Grand Night Casino was private and reserved for distinguished guests only. Other than Jason, nobody who worked at the casino was allowed to come here. But now she stood here, the place where all the important decisions of the casino were made.

Brian walked briskly, ahead of Molly. Soon he realized that the footsteps behind him had faltered. He turned back and frowned, seeing that Molly stood stock-still as she gazed at her surroundings in amazement. "What are you doing over there?" he asked her in a deep voice.

Molly's eyes widened. She came back to herself and trotted over to him quickly. She walked with him to his office, still in disbelief.

Once inside the office, Brian called out to Jason through the intercom. "Come up to my office!"

"Yes, Mr. Brian Long!"

Jason answered. Brian hung up, turning to Molly. "I have some work to do. You can read here if you get bored of waiting."

Molly nodded and walked over to the bookshelf noiselessly. After briefly scanning it, she found that most of the shelved books were either about casino management or gambling skills, neither of which she was interested in. But then she thought about how awkward it would be to just sit there and do nothing, so she took out a random book and sat on the sofa, pretending to read.

Jason arrived soon. He walked in and glanced at Molly before greeting Brian. He didn't seem surprised to see her there.

"How is your mission going?" Brian asked as he checked his e-mails.

"Half of the people are already under control," Jason answered.

"Did they reveal any information?" Brian questioned Jason without looking at him. His slender fingers typed on the keyboard.

Jason hesitated. "Only a third of them have told the truth, but the information they gave is quite useless," he replied reluctantly after a while.

Brian froze for a moment and glowered. "Those old men sure are good at acting," he resumed his typing and spoke, his tone cold. "They only tell the truth when death is staring at them in the face."

"How about sending some beauties to them this time?" Jason asked.

"I'll leave that up to you," Brian replied, looking up at Jason at last after he finished reading his last e-mail. "But I need to know the result in five days."

"Got it, boss," Jason replied reverently. "If there is nothing else, I'm going back to work now."

Brian nodded his head in response. After Jason left, Brian glimpsed at Molly sharply, who had been watching him and Jason in secret the entire time. When she met his eyes, she lowered her head in haste and pretended to read, not realizing that the book she held in her hands was upside down.

Brian grinned wickedly. He pressed a button on his remote control and a VIP room appeared on the video wall. "Is it boring to come out with me compared to staying at home?" Brian asked.

Molly peeked at the VIP room as she walked up to Brian. Standing next to him, she typed something on her phone and showed it to him.

"No, I'm bored of staying at home. It is better to be here with you," the screen said.

Brian stared at her in the eyes, his heart softening. "I would rather take you out with me than leave you at home all alone, in case you sneak out again," Brian said, acting composed.

Molly curled her lips and continued typing.

"Aren't you afraid I will find out all the bad things you do and spread the knowledge to the world ?"

"Do you think I am scared?" Brian replied, looking up at her with razor-sharp eyes. He reached out and grabbed her slim waist, pulling her into his arms. Finding herself on his lap, Molly was dumbfounded.

This was such an intimate position! She tried to get up on instinct, but Brian held her tightly.

Molly blushed and smelled the minty scent on his body, getting more nervous by the second.

Brian narrowed his eyes at her. When she looked up, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips swiftly, holding her hair.

Just then he heard the door in the video open, which pulled his mind back to the situation at hand...

Reluctantly, he let go of Molly. Brian looked up and stared at her soulfully. His heart seemed to soften even more. She looked even more adorable when she was embarrassed.

Her face was as red as a ripe apple and her long eyelashes flapped like the wings of a butterfly. Puffing and panting, she bit her lip and gazed at him with shining eyes.

She was getting more anxious under his gaze, but Brian had calmed down. "I want you to watch something," he said indifferently.
