Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 295

Fortunes were made and broken in the evening at Grand Night Casino.

Tons of people came there for a good time.

Drinks, tokens, gambling tables were everywhere. As the general manager of the Casino, Jason was always busy at night. He needed to keep a close eye on all the gamblers. Sometimes, there were cheaters and chaos wrought by difficult guests, business as usual in places like that. He had to deal with them all.

"General Manager, cheater at table 8!" The voice of the foreman of the first-floor lobby came through Jason's earpiece. Normally announcements were made by intercom, but in this case they had curled tubes wound around one ear plugged into a two-way radio. This was set up to facilitate private conversations among the staff. It wouldn't do well to announce the location of a cheater to everyone in the casino.

Jason frowned. While cheaters were common enough, he hadn't expected it tonight for some reason. He answered the foreman's report with instructions on how to handle this. Before he walked out of the room, his phone rang. It was a message. He saw it was Brian.

"Where's Molly?" It was a simple question from Brian.

Jason frowned. "Is Molly in the lobby now?" he asked through the mic in his headset.

"She just finished her work and took off a moment ago!"

Jason trekked over to security. He checked out the CCTV feed right after he entered the room. He had no time for idle chit chat. He tapped a few keys and found the camera by the gate of the casino. He reviewed the footage and stopped it at one key scene: Edgar was with Molly, touching her hair softly.

Jason frowned when he saw this, and changed the camera back to real-time monitoring mode. Later he walked out of the room and dialed up Molly.

When Molly's phone rang, Edgar pulled over beside a coffee shop. Molly was confused and could not help frowning slightly. Few people knew her number, and the ones that did knew she had been struck mute. She didn't know why Brian called her twice last night. You had to text her if you really needed to talk to her.

Molly got out her phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Her confusion deepened. Yet, she still decided to answer the phone.

"This is Jason, Miss Xia! There is something that you need to take care of at the Casino. Try to make it back here quickly." Jason did not mince words. He was a busy man, so he didn't have the time to chat.

Just then, he paused for an instant and hung up.

Molly kept frowning while listening to Jason. She was worried, and forgot she couldn't speak until she tried to respond.
