You never appreciate the special ways I love you. In spite of all my efforts, you still regard me as someone who never understands. Please know that while I cannot give everything that you desire, the things I am able to give come from the heart.

Smile Hotel in A City.

This land used to be in ruins. The Dragon Empire Group needed three years to construct a hotel there after it prevailed in competitive bidding. Completed two years ago, Smile Hotel was Frank's anniversary gift to Richie and Shirley when they celebrated thirty years of marriage. Like the hotel in T City, Dragon Empire Group owned the business, but everything it made benefited only Shirley.

At the top floor were garden seats, and one of them was occupied by Becky now as she enjoyed afternoon tea. After spending the entire morning browsing through posts in various Internet forums, she left her room and went upstairs to take her lunch there. Even after eating, Becky sat there, listening to the sound of rain splashing on the umbrella over her head. She was thinking about the situation Molly was about to face.

Although she had only known Molly for a few years, she was aware of the girl's temper. And Becky didn't think Molly could enjoy a peaceful life hounded by negative public comments.

With her eyes half-closed, she sat thinking and was interrupted by the phone ringing. She glanced at the screen and saw it was Brian calling. Not at all surprised, she answered it.

It was a brief call, and she hung up shortly. Becky signaled the waiter to prepare another cup. Not long after, Brian arrived just in time to join her for a pot of black tea.

Pausing at the stairs, Brian waited for the waiter to bring an umbrella over and escort him to Becky's table. She watched him advance towards her, stood up and greeted the man with a smile, and his name on her lips, "Brian."

After a casual glance from Brian, the waiter bowed in respect and then left the two alone.

It was drizzling the whole day, although the weather had already been terrible days before. The non-stop rains cooled the place, yet the area with garden seats took on a dreary mood. Still, with ample space between tables, guests enjoyed a certain amount of privacy. The ideal set-up also made it possible not to have the area cleared with Brian's arrival.

"What brings you here today?" Becky asked with a bright smile. There was obvious joy in her eyes at the thought that Brian specifically came by to see her.
