Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 15

Stepping out of M-blue restaurant, Brian got in his car and ordered Tony directly," The casino."

"Roger that," Tony said attentively.

It was quiet as usual in the car. Tony, from time to time, would peek at Brian through the rear-view mirror, and once he found Brian deeply gazing out the window, he would let out an unnoticeable sigh.

After Becky had left the day before, Brian seemed to be restraining his loneliness and frustration. Though having seen a lot of killing and being killed since his childhood, Brian had a family who loved him. This might be his first time to feel so depressed and heartbroken.

Tony's face was rather grave. He let out another sigh and steered the car into the underground parking lot of Grand Night Casino.

Brian got out of the car and took an exclusive lift to his office on the top floor. The minute he got off the lift, his phone rang, and he picked it up without hesitation.

Brian walked into his office while listening to the voice reporting on the phone. His brows started to furrow and his eyes became sharp. His anger was becoming more apparent as the call went on. "Feed him to Black Wolf!"

Brian said coldly as he dismissed the call. Then he turned to Tony and instructed," Tell Harrow that I want him to keep a close watch on the U.S. stock market and I need to see Chancellor fall for at least 10% tomorrow!"

"No problem," Tony answered and left.

Sitting in his big and luxurious chair with legs crossed casually, Brian stared intently at the computer screen. The screen was divided into several windows, where the actual scenes in the casino were shown in real time.

Brian's phone rang again.

Moving his eyes away from the screen, Brian picked it up.

"Mr. Brian Long, the information you needed is prepared. I'll send it to you by fax right now," said the voice at the other end of the line.

"Okay," Brian said flatly and then hung up.

Soon afterwards, there was a noise coming from the fax machine followed by pieces of paper dispensed one by one. Brian fetched them and saw a picture of Molly Xia on top.

Molly's innocent and warm smile dazzled Brian and for a while, his eyes were enthralled by her beauty. Looking at the picture, he was struck by a familiar feeling, which was too fleeting to be noticed even by himself.

While his fingers were turning the pages, Brian felt intrigued and read through the material and noticed that most of the contents weren't new to him.Molly's experience wasn't uncommon in a city famous for its night life and casinos. The only surprise for him was that she actually worked in Grand Night Casino as a waitress. That part was interesting enough.

But... She had got into his bed after being drugged!

Brian was astounded and threw the files on the desk. He puffed a cigarette, giving out light gray smoke. Behind the smoke, the anger and pain were gradually hidden in his deep black eyes.

Brian squinted, which was a dangerous sign. No matter what her reason was, he would never allow anything out of his control.

Time would never stand still just because of somebody's happiness or sadness. It would pass on as usual despite any situation. After the sun had set and disappeared from the horizon, the warm air was gradually replaced by the cold wind.

By the street light, Molly was dragging her tired and sore body back home. Watching her feet struggling to move on the road covered with snow, she started to find the situation ironic.
