Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1034

"I'm confident about Dad, but Mom..." Charlie muttered in a very low voice. "All right. I will no longer interfere, as you said."

"Hmm. Remember to tell me how things are going on your side, in case of any new developments," Mark said. Mark was a bit worried because Charlie was only a three year old kid. After his younger brother promised to report to him when necessary, Mark hung up. Looking at Eric, whose face was covered by a big smile, he said,"Uncle Eric, I feel like we're playing with fire here."

"But we have the same purpose," Eric said, shrugging. "We want to see if your father and mother are able to stand this trial."

Curling his lips in disagreement, Mark said,"You want to see if Mommy will run away from her problem once again."

Eric responded to Mark with just a smile; he did not say anything. Eric only wanted to know if the relationship between the two of them were firm enough that they would no longer part because of any potential third party. If they stuck together firmly with each other, he could not ask for anything more.

Molly was supposedly reading a financial magazine in Brian's office. She stole glances at Brian, who was discussing something with Harrow. She hadn't turned a page in the magazine for quite a while.

At that moment, Tony walked into the office and went straight towards Brian. He said a few words in a whisper into Brian's ear. Molly couldn't hear a word.

Brian's hands paused for a second. He took a look at Molly with his falcon eyes. Molly looked away hastily, as if she had done something bad and was feeling guilty now. She pretended to read the magazine in her hands.

Tony glanced at Molly too. Then in a low voice, he asked,"Mr. Brian Long, do we need to stop her?"

Brian didn't answer. He kept his eyes on Molly and after a while, said in a low voice,"Let's talk about it later."

Tony took a peek at the computer screen on the desk, and then nodded. He then retreated to the far corner of the room, where he always stood almost invisibly.

Harrow and Brian continued their previous conversation until Charlie came back with Evelyn after buying snacks. The two men hadn't finished their discussion yet, but as soon as the twins walked into the office, they stopped talking with a tacit understanding.

"Deal with the rest at your own discretion," Brian said as his fingers ran quickly on the keyboard. "But I don't want to see this happening a second time."

Harrow nodded in reply. He wouldn't allow for such a thing to happen to him for the second time either. He didn't know how this matter would have ended if Brian was not in A City at this crucial moment. Fortunately, he was here and even settled it with ease. It turned out that the board that had been under Emp's control was going through some internal changes and Emp was slowly losing control over it. Fortunately, they had found it early enough to take countermeasures. Otherwise, a huge economic turmoil would have taken over the world as soon as quotation was opened that day.
