Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1098

While Harrow was nonplussed, the secretary handed him a piece of sandwich and a bowl of porridge. Having noticed the confused look on Harrow's face, she giggled and explained, "Mrs. Molly Long ordered the delivery for Mr. Brian Long. She also ordered some for us." Then she beamed at Brian, her boss. She couldn't help feeling that only caring for each other would make the relationship last long, just as how Molly and Brian cared for each other. The secretary couldn't help but admire the love they had for each other and smiled at the thought of it.

It was at midnight in Australia, so in A City, the time should be about four o'clock in the morning. No one would normally wake up at this time. However, Mrs. Brian Long had actually pre-ordered supper for Brian as well as all his subordinates. This was enough to make everyone touched, not to mention Mr. Brian Long himself.

The secretary left the room. It was a nice time for everyone to take a small break amidst the busy work. The employees, including the staff in the secretary's room, and the other staff on different levels of the building, all felt warmed by Molly's act of kindness. One's identity and place would determine one's power. Brian Long, the owner of the Dragon Empire Group, when facing the crisis, had to use some cold-blooded and brutal approach to save his business. For the employees in the company, though they didn't have such power, they still could survive the crisis by devoting themselves to the company and helping Brian with his fight in the best way that they could.

In the Dragon Empire Group, every person would be recognized for his or her skills and had a chance to make use of the skills to make a contribution to the company as a whole. Whereas in other companies, the companies might not explore the potential of its employees, so it had to sack a portion of its people due to financial constraint. Consequently, the employees who stayed would worry about their future, thus the efficiency of work would be diminished. Whilst in the Dragon Empire Group, everyone, including the leader, was all united together to solve the problem. The company believed that sacking its employees would only result in the short-term relief of the pressure from the financial crisis, but the long-term effect would be devastating. Only by stretching everyone's power to the fullest and working together would make the company survive the crisis.

It was such a catastrophic crisis that all the economic news headlines were on this issue. Things like opinions over the crisis, recent shutdown of some companies, and the futile effort of some companies to fight the financial crisis were all over the place.

The direct impact of the financial turmoil lasted more than a month. Some other problems surfaced subsequently. Though they were less severe than the problems at the very start, they still caused a surging death rate among companies worldwide.

When Molly saw Brian again, it was two months later, when he returned from Australia. Since their marriage, they hadn't been apart for so long. Both felt that as if a century had passed without seeing his wife and kids.

"Evelyn was worried when she went to school today. She asked me if you would have time to come for parent-child games." Molly spread her arms around Brian's waist, face lying on his chest. Listening attentively to his heartbeat and breathing in his scent, she felt unprecedentedly satiated.

Indeed, absence made the heart grow fonder. That was how she was feeling right now.

"Charlie gave me a call about this…" Stopping her from saying something more, Brian hugged Molly's shoulders, resting his head on hers. Eyes closed, he slowly said, "I have to speed up my pace so that Evelyn doesn't get disappointed."
