Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1036

Leaning against the driver's seat of the roadster, Cora recalled what had happened thirteen years ago between her and Brian. As the past came back to her, anger and resentment took over her mind.

Her wish had been to be Brian's wife. However, she had figured out later that Brian's promise made in Hell Forest had been ambiguous. After they had gotten out of the dangerous situation, she had mentioned his promise to her. However, he had looked plainly at her and said, "I thought that your wish was to stay at XK Intelligence Agency for another year."

Cora had not expected that the extravagant hope she had grasped onto in such a desperate situation would have all been in vain. She gritted her teeth and took her cellphone, which had been thrown onto the front passenger seat a while ago. She unlocked the phone and went through the list of her messages. She reread the short message which Brian had sent her at two o'clock in the morning.

"Cora, don't harass her, or I will disregard all your feelings. "

Cora snorted coldly. Unconsciously, she tightened her grip on the cellphone. With a slight sneer, she mumbled to herself, "Brian, you should know that when I'm unhappy, I won't let anybody else feel happy either."

Cora thought that she knew Brian well, but she was over-estimating her knowledge about Brian Long. For the top leader of XK Intelligence Agency and the boss of Emp Stock Exchange, the ability to read people's minds was just one of the basic requirements.

Although they hadn't seen each other in many years, Brian still remembered Cora's temper and her style of doing things.

When her cellphone rang in the study, Molly was chatting with Ximena on a line through the computer. She didn't take the call until several rings later. As soon as she saw Daniel's name on the screen, her eyes shone brightly. She picked up the call in a hurry and placed the cellphone by her ear. "Daniel!" she exclaimed.

"Molly," Daniel greeted her. With one hand holding his cellphone and one foot supported on a barrier wall behind him, he looked at the new recruits in a distance. "Do you and Brian have some time off?" he asked.

Hearing Daniel's question, Molly reflexively looked at Brian, who was reading some important documents. Then she asked, "What's the matter?"

With a small smile, Daniel withdrew his sight from the new recruits. His chocolate skin, which was all thanks to the exposure in the sun, hid the light blush on his face. "Can you guys take a trip here if you're free in a couple of days?" he asked again.

Hearing that Daniel had asked another question instead of answering hers, she knew that her younger brother was hiding something. She said, "Tell me what happened."

Daniel responded with a chuckle. After a bit of hesitation, he said, "If you two are not very busy, please come here as soon as possible. When you arrive, my boss will tell you something important." Without waiting for Molly's response, Daniel continued hastily, "All right then! I need to go. Selection for some new recruits for our commando team is going on right now. Molly, come as soon as possible."

Molly was still confused when she heard the click from the other end of the phone. She looked at her phone in a daze.

Brian raised his eyes from the document to glance at Molly. In a casual tone, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Frowning, Molly repeated what Daniel had said. She asked, "Why was he so anxious? He said Edgar would be waiting for us. Do you think Daniel has done something wrong?"
