Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 296

Jason was still dealing with the cheater in the lobby when Molly jogged in. There were a few subtle ways to cheat, but Jason knew them all. He was an expert, and why not? He'd tried them himself when he was younger. There was a reason he was in charge of the whole casino, after all. This kind of thing was what he was good at. The bodyguards dragged the cheater away. It went without saying that he would have to face some severe punishment.

"General Manager, Molly's here," KK whispered at Jason when he saw Molly tear in at a good clip.

Jason took a look back at Molly and left instructions with the foreman. Then he turned around and walked over to Molly.

Molly scratched her ear and nodded to Jason as greeting -- the nodding, not the scratching. Jason nodded back and said,"Let's go to my office."

Molly was anxious and had no clue what they were talking about. She followed Jason into the elevator and they emerged into his office. His suite was on the first floor of the security station. Apart from a desk, a sofa and some other necessities, there was also a screen where he could see what was happening around there.

"Have a seat," Jason said, and continued,"There's going to be a huge game three days from now. It concerns stock shares spread among some rich families. Their companies' shares are the gambling capital. There will be tons of guests there, a lot of bigwigs. We had a meeting and worked up a list of people working that night. You're on that list. What do you think?"

Molly listened quietly. She was lost in thought, but frowned at Jason when she came back to reality.

"We need to confirm the list tonight. You can think about it while you're here and give me your reply later!" Jason said and then left the office immediately before Molly could give him an answer. Molly was left all alone in the office, sitting there in confusion.

After Jason walked out of the office, he texted Brian and let him know that Molly was back now and he was going to keep her there.

Brian got the message, but blew it off. His eyes grew sharper.

"Brian?"

Brian tore his gaze from his phone and raised his head to look at Becky who was chatting with Rory right now. He said disinterestedly,"It's late now. I'll drive you back to the hotel."

Just then, he stood up and pulled his coat off the rack. He shrugged it on, then stretched out his hand to Becky.

Becky put her hand in his, and felt his calluses. She took a few deep breaths and tried to say something. But there were no words for what she was feeling. You could see disappointment on her delicate face.

Seeing Becky lower her eyes a bit, Brian frowned. He looked over at her and asked in a caring tone,"You okay?"

Becky shook her head slowly and forced a smile. "Yeah," she replied in a seemingly easy tone.

She was pretending and Brian could see through it of course. His eyes turned sharp and he made a sidelong glance at Rory. Then he merely said,"Drive Mr. Yan to the hotel, Tony."

"Yes, sir!" Tony replied.
