Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 289

Brian still clearly remembered everything as if it happened yesterday: Molly's beautiful, apologetic face, her eyes that shone brightly but also showed her fear. But it was all in the past now. He used to be obsessed with Becky's eyes and he still should be obsessed with her eyes. But little did he notice that all he could think about now were Molly's wide and innocent eyes.

"Brian?" Becky called out to him, gently. She was confused because Brian had spaced out.

Brian snapped back. "Nothing."

Beck bit her lip, stopping herself from saying something. She sat in the car silently. Becky was almost never wrong about her gut feelings. Especially about Brian. When Brian picked her up earlier, she felt that something was wrong. She decided to ignore it but now... she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious especially ever since she met Eric and that Little Molly at the restaurant. She could tell that Brian wasn't just spacing out just now. His mind was somewhere else

Becky frowned at this. Sadness was creeping at her heart and anxiety at her brain. But she couldn't tell exactly what she was worrying about right now.

Brian started the engine again as it rounded the corner heading its way to the casino's parking lot. Brian stepped out of the car first to open Becky's door. He held out his hand for Becky to take as they walked towards the elevator. They were going up to the top floor.

"I have to meet Tony later. You can stay at the casino and wait for me. I'll pick you up after." Brian said mechanically. His voice rang in the small space of the elevator.

Becky couldn't help but slightly furrow her eyebrows. "Why didn't you just take me back to the hotel then?"

"I didn't want you to be alone there. I will worry about you." Brian said coldly.

Becky smiled at what he said. "Okay." When the elevator door opened, Brian took Becky's hand as he led her out.

"Mr. Brian Long," Tony greeted him. He had been at the casino since early morning. He quickly glanced at Becky as he followed behind them silently.

Brian asked Jason to watch over Becky before leaving with Tony.

"Brian!"

Becky's voice made him stop and turn around. "What's the matter?"

"You..." Becky bit her lip,"Just be careful, okay?"

The corners of Brian's mouth lifted into a small smile. "Okay."

Becky watched him walk away before turning to Jason. "You can go, Jason. I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. I'm quite familiar with this place."

"Okay." Jason replied,"If you need me, just page me in channel one."

"Sure."
