Molly frowned and looked at Spark.
"It's none of your business," she said warily.
A smile flashed on Spark's face.
'This must be an interesting girl.' he thought. 'Just a moment ago, she was touched when she saw the ants struggling for life. But now she looks puzzled, as if she has remembered something unpleasant.'
Spark thought that Molly was such a pure girl that he could always figure out what she was thinking about from her innocent-looking eyes. And consequently, it made Spark want to play tricks on her.
"Now, come with me!" Spark said, on the assumption that Molly would go with him. Then he crouched down to tidy up his belongings.
Molly frowned and watched Spark put the violin into the box. Then Molly randomly put the musical manuscripts into the bag and asked,"Why should I accompany you somewhere?"
"Because we encouraged the ants together just now!" Spark did not raise his head and answered. Then he thrust the bag containing music manuscripts into Molly's hand without her permission, and then stood up with the violin box in his hand. In the meantime, he took Molly's hand and went down the stairs of the underpass no matter whether Molly agreed or not.
"Hey, let go of me. I didn't agree to go with you!" Molly was so stunned by Spark's fluent actions that she didn't know how to respond to him. By the time Molly knew what was happening, she was already torn away by him.
"Please, come with me. I'm not familiar with A City..." Spark didn't care whether Molly was willing to go with him or not. He just pulled her out of the underpass. He walked so fast that Molly needed to trot to keep up with him.
"Come on, I don't know who you are... It's none of my business whether you are familiar with A City or not... Hey, let go of me!" Molly shouted angrily as she disengaged herself from Spark's grip, which had attracted many passersby to look at them.
"Just accompany me for a moment, please!" Spark said as he turned back to Molly with a nonchalant smile. His voice and manner were quite different from Eric's. Spark looked less dangerous. He was so warm, and he could easily make people feel at home.
Tagging along, Molly was out of breath when they got to the underground passage. When she was about to say something, Spark hissed mysteriously, motioning her to be quiet. Then he furtively moved to one side of the wall and peered around...
Molly was also a little nervous about his behavior. She wondered if it had something to do with her recent kidnappings. She asked nervously,"Hey, is there someone trying to catch you?"
Spark turned back to look at Molly, who was so nervous that there was no expressions on her face. At this, a hint of mockery flashed through Spark's eyes. So he nodded and said earnestly,"Yes, someone wants to catch me. But, I am not familiar with A City, so it's a little bit difficult for me to run!"
Molly looked at Spark suspiciously, not knowing whether his words were true or not. While she was mulling over his freaky actions, Spark leaned over to her and warned,"Run with me when I tell you to run..."
"What?" That only added to Molly's uncertainty. She wondered what Spark was talking about.
"Hey, I requested you to accompany me somewhere. Are you forgetting so soon?" Spark said. "You can't leave now!"
"Let go of me..." Molly frowned and she glared at Spark. "I didn't promise to go with you. Unless you were talking to yourself. What's more, I don't know who you are. So why should I go with you?"
"What's your name?" Spark asked out of the blue.
"What?" Something didn't add up in Molly's mind once again.
"What's your name?" Spark asked again, staring at Molly with his attractive and deep-set eyes.
Molly looked at his bright eyes and couldn't help revealing her name. "Molly Xia, it is." After saying that, she just suddenly realized what she had said. So she glared at Spark again and said,"It's none of your business! Just let go of me! I don't want to waste time arguing with you!"
"My name is Spark." Spark curled up his lips and said with a smug. "Now we know each other!"
Speechless, Molly looked at Spark with knitted eyebrows. She wouldn't have believed he could play the violin if she had not seen him play. Because now, Spark was acting like a total creep.
