Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 103

When Eric's car stopped outside the manor, a waiter came and opened the car doors for them. Eric gave his car keys to the waiter to have the car parked. Then, he walked to Molly's side, stretched out his arm and, wearing a playful smile on his face, beckoned her to hold his arm.

But Molly didn't budge as she was hesitating. Baffled, she looked at Eric's arm and then looked at his eyes.

Ignoring her embarrassment, Eric grabbed her arm and wrapped it around his own. Raising his brows towards Molly, he said like a naughty boy, "You're my female companion tonight. Do you mean to walk in separated ways with me?"

Without giving Molly the chance to say anything back, Eric had already pulled her to walk inside the manor.

As they walked through the crowd of people, Molly saw a lot of beautiful and elegant women and all kinds of celebrities there. Gradually, a sense of inferiority rose in her heart. She nervously gnawed on her lower lip and clenched her hands.

Eric seemed to have sensed her nervousness. He gently pinched her cold hand and, slightly furrowing his brows, he said in an attractive voice, "As long as you are confident in and of yourself, you will be the focus of this party. Do you understand?"

Molly looked towards him and saw the serious and affirmative look in his eyes. She slightly pursed her lips together which were painted with pink lipstick, and nodded her head.

Smiling, Eric held Molly's hand even tighter and urged, "Hurry up. It's so cold outside!"

Rubbing Molly's cold hands to give her warmth, Eric picked up his pace and walked toward the hall.

Molly suddenly felt warm and moved by Eric's care for her. Although he could be very annoying at times, he was considerate enough to make her feel moved. He always showed his care in a casual way. And those things might be insignificant to other people, but to Molly, it was already a big enough gesture to show his care for her.

As soon as they entered the hall, a surge of warm air blew over them, keeping them away from the cold outside.

Eric's and Molly's presence attracted many people's attention. The guests started talking about them, and some of them were surprised to see Eric Long showing up there. They did not expect that he would come and show respect to Mr. Song. But for most of the guests, they had more interest in scanning Molly, wondering whether this woman was the new star of the Dream Media Company.

It was Molly's first time to have so many people's attention on her. Molly was extremely nervous now. She felt like she couldn't breathe. If Eric hadn't been holding her hand now, Molly believed that she would've already turned around and run away.

"Don't be afraid. I'm by your side, okay?" Eric drew her close to him and whispered in her ear. His tender voice made her relax more and she instinctively nodded her head. Eric grinned playfully and whispered, "In my eyes, you're the most beautiful one here."

Although Eric meant to comfort Molly, in his mind, he indeed believed so. Molly wasn't an outstandingly beautiful woman in appearance, but she was very delicate and had a good plasticity to become better. She especially had quite a good body shape. Earlier, he just handed her to the designers, without any expectations. However, after she was dressed up with that evening dress and uneasily stood in front of him, Eric was shocked to find out her undiscovered beauty. At that moment, he was well aware that this woman would be able to conquer a lot of men easily, if she wanted to.

"Eric, you boy!"

A low and happy voice, with signs of age, came to their ears. Eric stood up and looked at an old man who was dressed in a red traditional Chinese suit. Eric smiled and said in a polite manner, "Mr. Song, happy birthday to you and many happy returns of the day! Wishing you good health!"
