"Rise and shine, it's early in the morning.
Yet this place is already bustling with customers and cheer. How wonderful this sight is!" A deep and amused voice was heard right before Eric walked into the restaurant dressed smartly in sportswear. Yesterday his unbridled passion had left him. And now after all that, he looked more relaxed, with a bright smile on his face.
Yet contrary to his good mood he gave Aaron a cold stare from across the room. Despite receiving Brian's indifferent gaze, he took a seat beside Molly, and ignored Aaron's lurking presence. Looking extremely arrogant and harassed, he called a waiter, and said," I'll have the same order as her."
"Just a moment, please," said the server in a polite manner as he hushed away amidst all the chaos. He had a forced smile on his face which was quite evident. Just standing there, he could sense the weird and tense atmosphere. Although Aaron was rarely known at QY Island, just the appearance of three outstanding men sitting there in a tense environment drew a lot of attention, and also somehow made all the people around quite nervous.
"Mr. Brian Long, do you mind if I have dinner with Lady Molly this evening?" Eric lifted his face gradually and stared back at Brian defiantly. There was an obvious look of complacency growing in his eyes.
However, Brian remained calm and maintained a calm look almost unaffected by Eric's clear disdain. Looking into his dark eyes, you could not sense what he was feeling let alone thinking. But deep down he disliked Eric.
Brian was convinced and had ever intention to ignore Aaron's presence. But he had to stand up and greet him, since somewhere he did actually admire his cold-blooded killer nature, and he also saw Eric come inside the room. It would have been impolite to ignore him.
The persistently arrogant and cold attitude from Brian and Eric didn't bother Aaron. Even though the political situation at QY Island seemed stable currently, there was a determined force working in silence to disrupt his enterprise and ruin his entire plan at any time. Therefore, the power and stature of Dragon Empire Group was much required for stability, and Brian should also be encouraged to be involved.
Molly couldn't speak up just as yet. She watched Aaron and Brian walk away. Growing increasingly worried and anxious by the minute, she hoped with all her heart that someone else would come up to her and let her in on what they were planning or doing presently.
"There's lots of good scrumptious dishes. I hope you have a big appetite and enjoy the spread." Eric said to Molly in a casual and yet sincere tone.
Upon hearing that, Molly turned her gaze to Eric and shrugged her shoulder helplessly not knowing how to enjoy the meal in such a situation. Her throat didn't hurt that much. As long as she remained silent, her throat seemed just fine. However, she wasn't stupid and ignorant. She could sense that something was terribly wrong. It's just that she couldn't figure out what it was from the outside.
