"Yes, I will!" Spark raised his eyebrows and signaled Manny to start moving. Then Spark took the lead in walking towards a road side.
Manny felt powerless whose shoulder dropped, as if he already accepted his fate at the hands of Spark. He said," We have to be at the airport in a few hours. What are you planning to do with the remaining time?"
"Walk and take a look around…"
"But it's freezing cold!"
"You can just go ahead to the airport without me. There is air conditioning there!"
"And what if you run away?"
"Then clearly, you have no choice…"
The voices coming from Spark and Manny fainted away as they disappeared in the crowds. Meanwhile, what happened between Spark and Molly seemed like a brief episode in their lives. Like passersby in the street, little did they know they would be connected so much that the trace they would cause could not be erased from their lives.

The luxury Benz was steadily approaching the roads of A City during the night. A gush of cold wind could be felt from the inside and the silence was deafening.
Molly was stunned at the sight of who was inside the car. Brian was inside.
Brian uttered not a single word during their trip and did not take a look at her at all. Instead, he just looked ahead as if he was alone and that nobody was sitting beside him.
Molly's heart was heavy. A mixture of fear, pain and unexplainable emotions filled her heavy heart. Finally, she could no longer bear the silence and said," Well, I I..."
She tried, but no other words came out. Molly thought, 'Whatever I say would sound like an excuse and I will still be punished by Brian, so why not take a risk?!' She gritted her teeth and nervously said," I did not mean to lie. I didn't want to be taken out by Spark Su. Then, then…"
Her spirit began to weaken as Brian suddenly turned his head and looked deeply at her. Molly could no longer go ahead and explain. In the end, indeed, not a single word was sent to Brian to be heard.
Brian's black eyes were as deep as the sea. He looked at Molly and asked," Did Spark tell you that his name is Spark Su?"
Molly did not understand why Brian asked such a question. She only nodded without thinking twice.
