"Oh?" Brain coughed lightly. His eyes fell on Molly's slim and soft hand which he kept rubbing. He frowned, wondering why they were always so cold.
In A City, now was the coldest time of the year. Brian never actually paid much attention to the cold weather in the city. But he silently wondered why Molly's hands were still cold in a subtropical city like the QY Island.
"There is a rumor that he is in some kind of complicated relationship with a woman who has connections with some big family here. Sorry, I am just too bored to pry into things deeply," Shawn continued in his mocking tone.
Brian did not lift his head," Why bother about things that has nothing to do with business?" he asked coldly. He understood what Shawn meant. He had known him since their childhood and had spent a longer time with him than with Richie, Shirley or Wing.
A faint smile swept over Shawn's face, which Molly happened to see through the wing mirror. Though she was still terrified of him, she couldn't help but be absorbed by his enchanting smile. 'How could that kind of smile be on a man's lips? How is it possible? Amazing!' she was fascinated again.
Suddenly, a slight pain in her palm drew her out of the trance. She glared at Brian. He paid no heed. His esoteric and deep eyes were still staring at her hand in his palm.
Molly tried not to enjoy the situation and went on to show contempt. She averted her face away from Brian. 'It's better to stay away from such a dangerous person. I still have my escape plan in place. I can not afford any awkward situation. It is not worthwhile, ' she pondered.
"Is Eric here yet?" Brain raised his head and asked in his indifferent tone. As he spoke, his eyes caught sight of Molly's intricate expression which she herself didn't notice she was making.
A gust of anger swept over his mind, 'This woman cares so much about others, but to me, only to me, she is indifferent and cold. I have been trying so hard to please her and she clearly is scheming about running away, '
He snorted in anger.
Brian sneered secretly, 'Molly, whatever I have wanted, I get it eventually, one way or the other. This game that we are playing right now, only I can stop it.'
"He arrived yesterday," replied Shawn. Then he shrugged his shoulders," No one knows where he went after that."
Brian frowned," Hasn't he gone to see the land in the Eastern district?" he asked.
"He was supposed to do that, but..." Shawn drawled on and he grinned," He's into some other interesting stuff."
Brian was indifferent about that comment and continued," No news from Aaron?" he asked.
"Nope," Shawn replied bluntly.
