Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 237

After all, Emp meant a lot more than the Grand Night to Brian. He wouldn't take just anyone.

"Mr. Brian Long!" Harrow shrugged off his doubts and regained his composure. He nodded to Molly, then turned to Brian. "Our shares have opened in America, and the index is one percent higher than expected."

Brian looked astounded at the news. He glanced at the screen on the wall to confirm Harrow's report. "They're like little toads, sitting in the scummy swamp, but they always like to hop ahead of me," said Brian.

Harrow shrugged. "They're still a threat. And it doesn't look like they'll go away on their own. Why don't we kick their asses before our stock takes a hit?"

Brian gave him a casual glance before he suddenly turned to Molly. She hadn't moved since they walked in, unsure of what was going on. "What do you think, Mol?"

Molly was taken aback by his sudden question, and she fixed Brian with doubtful eyes. She couldn't really think clearly after she'd seen Rory on the monitor at the Grand Night Casino, and didn't understand what Brian and Harrow were talking about. What should she say? What could she say?

Brian snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He didn't seem to care who else was in the room. But Harrow and Tony didn't even care. He asked her in a low and charming voice,"Someone's messing with my business. Harrow suggested I kick their asses. Sound like a plan?"

Molly glanced at the other two in embarrassment. Tony still wore a cold face as if he had seen nothing happening, and didn't care if he did see anything. Harrow shrugged slightly as he said,"Miss Xia, you're welcome to chime in."

Molly gritted her teeth and tried to squirm out of Brian's arms, but he just held her more tightly. She was mad, and her lowered eyebrows gave testament to that fact. She glared at Brian fiercely. Of course, she couldn't speak, so she could give no advice at all.

She flashed Brian a cold gaze which seemed to say,"So what if I say yes?"

"Well," a faint smile appeared on Brian's face as he met Molly's angry stare, and he said in an uncaring voice,"now that Mol thinks that we should teach them a lesson, it's all you."

With that, he spared Harrow another glance, and then left the office with Molly.

Harrow just sat there, staring after them long after the door had closed and they had made their exit. After a while, he turned to Tony and asked with a titter,"What do you think he means by that?"

Tony replied with a cold glance,"He means we should deal with them as we see fit, and there's no need for him to dirty his hands with this."

"Do you think that was his idea, or hers?" Harrow felt strange. He just tossed the issue out there, mainly because he thought Brian wouldn't care. He thought wrong, because otherwise why did Brian stop at Emp tonight? Harrow couldn't help thinking about this.

Tony didn't reply to Harrow's question, but he also fell into deep thought. Brian should have planned for this with stock buybacks, stop-loss orders, etc. But he consulted with Molly and left it up to them.
