She was annoyed that she could see through her like that. They were quite close to each other now. Molly could even feel his warm breath when he spoke. He was dangerous. She could feel it, too. She wanted to retreat, to add the space between them, but her back was against the wall. There was no place to go.
"Molly, you were so close to me once. And the confession in the snow that night… am I really a stranger to you?" Brian said slowly. His fingers caressed her cheek, but it was different with her. Her skin was tougher than Becky's. He wasn't sure it was that unpleasant. In fact, he kind of liked it.
He was teasing her, at least that was what Molly thought. Her heart throbbed in sorrow. She raised her hand and pushed against Brian's chest, trying to move him further away. She was too weak to do this, though. He resisted, and she relented.
Molly gritted her teeth and breathed heavily. She stared at Brian with hate in her eyes and then took out her phone. "What on earth do you want?" she typed.
"What if… I don't want to be a stranger to you?" Brian's black eyes grew darker and sharper. Somehow, it made him even more attractive. Many girls would love to lose themselves in those eyes.
Molly frowned tightly upon hearing his words. She couldn't hide her anger anymore. "Come off it, Brian! You were the one who cut me loose. Now what do you want? And don't forget: Becky's back. Aren't you afraid she'll be sad if she finds out about us? Wouldn't cheating on her be kind of low?" She typed all these lines nonstop.
When he read what she wrote a rage rose in him. What was she saying? Low? Nothing he did was low!
He lifted his gaze suddenly, and shot a sharp glare at Molly with his eagle eyes. He was so angry that he even ignored the fact she referred to Becky. Instead, he went on a rampage because she described their relationship as "low."
Molly could even feel Brian's burning rage. The door opened and closed over and over again because neither of them pressed the button to select a floor. This elevator only stopped at several certain floors and nobody would take this elevator apart from Jason, Tony and Brian.
They stared at each other angrily. Finally, Molly couldn't stand it anymore. She lowered her eyes and typed on her phone. "It's late now. I need to go!"
"In a hurry? Hm?" She could tell he was mocking her. In his rage, Brian decided to lash out. He stared at Molly with his sharp eyes and continued,"because someone's waiting for you outside the casino, right? Molly opened her eyes wide in surprise.
'How could he know? Is he spying on me?' She looked at Brian with uncaring eyes and finally realized what he meant. "I have my freedom, Brian," she wrote.
"That depends on me! You stay or go if I allow it." Brian said in a domineering tone. He was just about lost it, but then he gathered his wits. He realized that Edgar might be responsible for her defiance. Plus, what happened in the restaurant made him angrier. He almost lost his head completely because of two men, Eric and Edgar.
