Molly frowned.
She was surprised for a bit. But soon her expression softened slightly.
Brian came to pick her up. That was unexpected. She thought he might send Tony, but here he was as well. He wasn't a normal guy, and she knew that. He didn't do what people expected him to do, ever.
Thinking of this, Molly shrugged her shoulders and sat limply in her seat, resigning herself to her fate.
Brian saw this. He gradually turned colder. His inky-black eyes got dimmer as he got angrier. That night, Tony and Harrow had a meeting to discuss things. Originally, there was someone else that was supposed to pick up Molly. But Brian couldn't take the chance. When the chips were down, could the driver actually protect Molly? And he had promised Eric that he would protect her. What kind of man would he be if he let Molly down? If he let his brother down?
His temples pulsed subtly. His eyes grew deeper and deeper. He felt like a hand was crushing his heart. Swallowing his pride, he came to pick her up. Shouldn't Molly feel flattered? So why was she still stuck on this other guy?
Molly felt uneasy about Brian's deep gaze. She just frowned and looked back at him. She mouthed some words like she wanted to say something. But she did not know what she could say. Not to mention, she couldn't say anything. She just closed her mouth again, and then moved toward the door instinctively.
Brian got more and more exasperated. His handsome face gradually turned gloomy. The edge of his mouth curved a little. He held his hand out to Molly.
Molly looked at Brian's hand. She looked at it and could see something beyond the callouses. She could clearly see a cocoon in the slender, white hand. But the cocoon was not disfiguring. On the contrary, it had its own beauty. The beauty was born of experience. Molly laughed at herself. Why did she take the time to appreciate his hand right now?
She raised her head and looked at Brian with confusion. She was still trying to figure out why he was acting this way.
"Give me your cell phone," Brian said coldly. He looked at Molly indifferently.
Molly frowned and looked at him, becoming more and more puzzled. She slowly took the phone out of her backpack, and then carefully put it in Brian's hand...
