I don't know what I am waiting for, just as I don't know what is waiting for me.

At the Flight Media in T City
"This meeting is over!"
a deep voice filled with unruly arrogance said. When everybody else quietly breathed a sigh of relief, Eric stood up and walked out of the meeting room in a cold manner. Lenny picked up all the documents and papers that were used at the meeting and caught up with him.
Without saying a word, the two headed to the office on the top floor. Standing in the narrow elevator, Lenny glanced at Eric occasionally with her seductive eyes. She wanted to ask him about something that was on her mind, but limited by her position, she could not open her mouth.
"Lenny," Eric's cool voice broke the silence, "do you have something to say?"
Lowering her eyes slowly, Lenny answered reverently, "No, Young Master."
A wild and attractive smile appeared at a corner of Eric's mouth as he said slowly, "You're wondering if I will fight against my cousin for Becky since he has come back and they might be together, right?"
Eric had correctly guessed what Lenny had been thinking about, but she did not feel amiss. She only raised her eyes and answered, "Yes."
"I won't,"
said Eric firmly. The elevator arrived at the top floor. As soon as the door opened, Eric stepped out and continued saying, "I don't know if I will ever fight against my cousin for anything else, but I won't do it for Becky."
Eric paused and the light in his eyes did not look evil, like it always did. But it had turned darker. He wore an almost invisible sneer and said slowly, "Too many things have changed in the past four years. Cousin Brian is more cold-blooded and heartless than before. Besides, according to my father, he probably has surpassed Uncle Richie. However, all that doesn't matter to me."
Then he paused for a moment and added, "What really matters is Brian's persistence about Little Molly. Nobody else sees it clearly. They all think that Brian has maybe given up because he has been in charge of that place for over half a year, and even though nobody in the world could stop him from looking for her now, he hasn't tried to find her. But why?"
During the past four years, Brian had been working hard, and so had he. Dragon Island was almost in his hands now. When he took over the National Congress completely and received the great seal which belonged to the power holder, everything would change. He had to have the position and the capability to stand up to Brian, if they ever decided to fight for Little Molly.
