Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 502

Suddenly, she felt a warm body next to her. "Eric, did you hire someone to follow me?" she asked, still weeping.

"I'm running a major business group. How would I have the time for that?" Eric teased, rolling his eyes. The truth was he didn't look and sound like the CEO of a company with over a thousand employees.

Molly roughly wiped off her tears. "Then how else would you know that I was here?" she asked.

Eric turned to look at the cars speeding past them, his eyes deep in thought. After a few seconds, he replied in a soft voice, "Maybe, I was meant to find you here."

Molly who was too sad and down for anything failed to notice the change in Eric's tone. She lifted her head, trying to keep more tears from falling.

Eric remained seated, no sound, no movement, no anything. He just sat there quietly and listened to her cries.

He intended to talk to Brian about the matters in QY Island as soon as he knew where Brian was. The matters at hand was that a potential project of the Dragon Empire Group might cross a boundary issue with the Grand Night Casino in QY. He was out trying to solve this problem when he was driving past Becky and Molly talking by the side of the road. He watched until Molly had walked away and positioned herself in the curb where they were now.

So what did "meant to be" really mean?

Eric continued to think about this whole thing, still in awe. Sometimes, though, even when he was purposely out looking for her, he'd still feel surprised every time he was able to find her.

"Eric," Molly said, taking a deep breath, "I miss Mark so much. I want to see him so bad but Brian won't let me. What should I do?"

"But, you have the right to see him after two days, right?" Eric asked, tilting his head.

Molly's lips quivered, furious. She wiped off the tears that had fallen near her mouth and asked, "Do you think Brian will let me see Mark?"

"No," Eric responded immediately. He knew what Brian wanted to happen. He was watching Molly's face when he realized that sooner or later, Molly would have to give in to Brian's demands. "Mr. Song's having a party at his villa tomorrow night. It's his granddaughter's birthday. Do you want to go?" Eric suddenly offered.

Molly stared blankly at Eric, her eyes filled with tears. She didn't understand why Eric was changing the subject. She playfully said, "Do you really think I'm in the mood for that now?"

"No but Brian will be there," Eric met Molly's eyes as he continued, "And besides, Mr. Song wants to meet Mark. He heard a lot about him so he's interested in him."

This wasn't rocket science. It was obvious what he was trying to say: Brian was going to be at the party tomorrow with Mark.
