Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 248

Brian had already turned around and was walking towards the study room.

This frustrated Eric,"I am dead tired!" He muttered.

It's not like he had a choice though. He followed Brian into the study room. Tony and Harrow were already in the study room when they entered. Eric hadn't expected to see them there. Tony bowed his head to greet Eric while Harrow whined,"Seriously? A meeting at 2 in the morning?"

Harrow was only teasing but Eric could see that he really was tired already. Who wasn't at this hour, anyway? Eric pulled a chair up, the one in front of Brian. "So, Brian, what do you want to get from the database? Does it have anything to do with Becky?" Eric said as he pointed towards the picture of Becky on the desk.

"Well, you're kinda right." Brian admitted.

This caught Eric off guard. He was only joking - he didn't expect that to be the actual answer.

"I want all files, everything, anything you can find about Rory." Brian announced. While Richie had already cleaned up the database when he set up the safe guards before, Brian was sure he could still extract something - with Eric's help, of course.

This confused Eric,"Becky's father?"

Brian answered carefully, choosing his words,"Well, Becky's scheduled to come back anytime soon and Molly's still at my place." "Well, just for that request alone, you should give me whatever I ask for," Eric negotiated, watching Brian closely.

Eric thought of how much he had looked up to Brian as a child. For almost his entire childhood, he did whatever Brian said. He was his hero for as long as he could remember. He couldn't believe that they would end up like this when they grew up - Brian bossing him around and him having the guts to finally stand up to Brian and stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

"That's an odd reason," Eric continued, taunting almost.

Brian ignored him and responded coldly,"I should get what I asked for by tomorrow morning. I believe that is sufficient time."

Brian motioned for Tony and Harrow to step out of the study room. As Brian closed the door, he slowly turned to look at Eric and said,"Well, looks like you won't have time to sleep on freshly-made bed."

A stupid, satisfied smile was pasted on Brian's face as he walked out the room ignoring Eric's mumbles.

Instead of going back to his room, Brian went to Molly's room.

Molly slept through day and night - she was sick and rarely spent any time up. The sound of the door opening abruptly snapped her back - she was staring off into the ceiling, probably thinking of something far off. She was surprised to see Brian coming in.

Brian scrunched his face when he saw that Molly was awake,"Why aren't you asleep? It's like 2 in the morning," Brian said, commandingly.

Molly bit her lips and turned around so she wouldn't see Brian.
