Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 174

For a moment Molly froze as she was stiff with fear.

And then with relief, she looked at Edgar and thought, 'What Jenifer had warned me about at Mr. Song's family still rings true to me.

Now, I'm not good enough to be with you. So why bother to talk to me?

Jenifer is a perfect match for you from all aspects, be it social, economic status, or whatever...'

At this time, Jenifer came over and politely nodded to Brian, pretending that she didn't notice his detached response. She then circled her arm around Edgar and said,"Well. So you're here with Mr. Long... No wonder it was taking you so long to get a drink for me!''

Jenifer didn't greet Molly then but instead cast a fierce glance at her every other moment.

Slightly startled and intimated by the awkwardness, Molly bit her lip and unconsciously moved closer to Brian. Her subconscious movement did not go unnoticed and meant different to Brian and Edgar.

Edgar felt suffocated immediately by her involuntary movement. But before he could realize why he felt so strongly about something so trivial, the feeling disappeared. He calmed his churning emotions, put on a decent smile and then politely addressed Brian,"Mr. Long, will you excuse us, please!"

He then took a long glance at Molly and left with Jenifer.

Molly lowered her eyes as she failed to understand how she felt now. At first, she was scared and embarrassed but now it was a myriad of feelings... She felt that she no longer had anything to lose.

She thought, 'Edgar, don't give up anything for me. If my existence was blocking your path to success and advancement, just like Jenifer said then... I'll stay far away from you to ensure you lead a happy and fruitful life.'

Brian somehow felt happy when Molly moved closer to him. But now he was rather upset by sensing her emotions which clearly reflected on her face.

"So it seems that you don't want him go... Do you now?" Brian asked her upfront.

As Molly was snapped out of her reflecting moment, she suddenly looked at him and was a little scared by his dark and sharp eyes which demanded an answer. She then snapped back, ''And well it would seem that you don't want Wing go either, do you?"

Brian frowned, but he wasn't going to explain the real nature of his relationship with Wing to Molly, not right then anyway.

Suddenly, they heard a voice calling from behind them,"Brian, Little Molly... She is my companion tonight!" called out Eric. He came over and began complaining, ''Why are you holding her in such a manner? I am sure you will feature in tomorrow's headline."

Brian revealed an arrogant and cold smile as he said, ''Well, you can rest assured that's not gonna happen."

That was true. No one would dare to toss Mr. Long's name in the headline, as they would be welcoming their own destruction. ...

"But I don't want to make the headline!" complained Eric. He casually took Molly out of Brian's arms. With a smile on his face, he said, ''I'll drive Little Molly home and you take care of the rest of the things here..."

After he finished speaking, Eric held Molly around her waist and walked out of the premises.
