Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 3

Molly Xia raced to the dressing room to change her clothes while gasping for air after the rush and scare she encountered a while ago. She could just imagine the worst if the car hadn't stopped in time. Her heart was still pounding a thousand beats a second and her knees were slightly trembling as she quickly changed her clothes. Trying to calm herself, she took a deep breath, held it in, then exhaled.

In a white blouse and a red bow tie matching a red A-line skirt, Molly wore her long satin black hair in a bun. Her youthful appearance was soon slightly concealed by the waitress uniform and the mature hairstyle. Her looks gave her that sense of confidence and professionalism in her work yet nothing could hide the innocence in her eyes. Taking a minute in, she gazed at herself in the mirror and paused.

"Come on, Molly! You're the best!" Molly said to herself in the mirror and raised her fist to cheer herself up. Taking a last quick glance in her reflection, she walked out of the dressing room and started her shift for the night. Seeing her walk out of the dressing room, Lily Song, one of her coworkers, approached her straightaway.

"Hey, Molly! Have you heard?" Lily asked enthusiastically. Without waiting for any response, Lily Song drew close to Molly and whispered in a mysterious voice," The Super VIP Room is booked for tonight."

"Well, okay…" Molly responded without showing any hint of excitement and lowered her head to take notes. It didn't pique her interest a bit, much to Lily's disappointment.

Lily felt helpless and rolled her eyes at Molly. She curled up her lips and complained," Molly, could you please act like a girl sometimes? Could you at least show a little interest in gossip? Aren't you thrilled? It's not just any room, it's the Super VIP Room!" Lily animatedly explained to Molly, giving extra emphasis by saying it word by word. "And only customers whose bet money is over ten million have access to it," she added.

Molly raised her head and looked at Lily, whose eyes were sparkling with admiration and hopeful imagination. She let out a sigh and said," Lily... I have about five part-time jobs to do every day. Tell me how I can have the time to care about gossip? Besides, it's a room for those prominent billionaires. We can't just barge in there you know, so... you'd better head back home now, and I have to get busy with work,"

Molly said, putting the log book back to the locker. Lily made a long face after hearing this, pouting. A look of disillusionment was painted across her face. Molly smiled at Lily spiritedly and then walked out of the shift room.

The Grand Night Casino was the largest and grandest casino in A City, a place where people could become instant millionaires or even billionaires and earn a fortune they had only dreamed of. However, for some, unfortunately, it was a place where they could lose everything they had in just a blink of an eye.

But for the most part, the Grand Night Casino was a place where lust, greed, and the dark side of human nature were truthfully revealed. Behind the phoney luxury and prosperity, it was in fact, a dark and deep abyss. Once people got caught into it, they set themselves up for despair forever.

Molly steadied a tray in her hands and served around the gambling tables. A courteous smile never left her pretty face. Moving from one table to another, she quickly refilled every empty glass with wine. If luck would have it, Molly would even receive a chip as a tip when a gambler was overjoyed after winning a round.

She would contentedly keep the blue chips in her pocket and then continue going around the tables, serving the gamblers and making sure that they were well-assisted. Without a slightest trace of weariness on her face, Molly was always vigorous and full of energy all throughout the night.
