Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 16

Brian was standing by the door with his hand in the pocket. His angular face betrayed no signs of any emotion, but his lips tightened into a thin smile. His eyes were narrowed and their coldness would have made the most composed men shiver.

He glanced indifferently at Molly and Steven, who were sitting on the floor and looked apprehensive and disheveled. David spoke in a husky voice," Brian! What a nice surprise! What brings you here? We're honoured." He had put on a smile before speaking and, walking up to Brian, bowed obsequiously.

Inside, he was as worried as he was smiling outside. Although he couldn't think of any reason that would bring Brian there, he still had a feeling something had gone horribly wrong!

Brian Long had quite a reputation! Gangsters in the city knew they could mess with anyone, even the cops, as long as they didn't get in Brian's ways. Otherwise, they might get killed silently.

With a big smile on David's face, he chanced a glance at Brian who was in his twenties, wondering what had brought him here today.

With everyone's eyes turning towards Brian, Steven and Molly also gazed at him. He stood there majestically, much like a king looking at his vassals, making everyone feel inferior.

The room fell into an ominous silence. Only the heavy breathing of its occupants could be heard. David was getting more and more scared as Brian hadn't said a word yet. He swallowed, smiled, and said," Brian, why don't you come inside and have a seat?" Then he turned towards his minions and shouted," Get us some wine, the finest kind!"

One of his men breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out. It seemed as if he had been itching to leave.

Brian cast a cursory glance at David, and strode into the room, but towards Molly instead of the chair.

Steven was still lying on the ground, wailing in pain. Molly was trying to help him sit up, but she paused when she noticed Brian walking towards her. Feeling a growing tension, she raised her head and looked at the man standing in front of her with clear eyes. There was blood at the corner of her mouth.
