Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 548

If the whole world betrays you, I will betray the whole world by your side. These were the words Eric Long once said.

With his hands in his trousers' pockets, Brian lightly leaned against the desk, watching the monitor in front of him. His mouth was sealed, while his falcon eyes were deep with cool light.

Pulling the corner of his mouth, Shane tried to pretend that he wasn't heard by Brian just now. Looking somewhat embarrassed, he hung up the phone hastily and greeted Brian, "M...Morning! Mr. Brian Long!"

"Hmp!" Brian sneered at Shane's greeting. With his black eyes turning deeper, he said in an indifferent tone, "Jason is going to have a long holiday soon. You will replace him during his absence as soon as you finish everything in QY Island..."

"Aha?" Shane replied, cutting-off Brian's words. The words he just heard made Shane's eyes wide-opened, unhappy from this sudden news. He then tried putting on a slight smile and said, "Mr. Brian Long, let me deal with that cheater... You know that I won't be able to manage a casino. If I do, I might as well die."

Shane's gambling skills were absolutely undisputed, but managing a casino would mean a headache for him. Even before, whenever Brian wanted to teach him a lesson and fix him, he would let him manage a casino. Most of the time, it worked.

"You may die, not must die..." said Brian, which simply meant that there was no longer room for negotiations. Hearing this, Shane couldn't help but cry silently in his heart, blaming himself for his own mischief. This happened because he was being a big-mouth just now.

"I will be sending what you asked for last night in an instant," Brian said while standing up, walking around the desk and sitting down behind it.

"Understood. I'll be going there tomorrow," said Shane, who instantly became serious whenever business was on the line. As soon as he read the documents sent by Brian, he understood what Brian was thinking about. Time passed and they continued discussing.

After giving instructions to Shane, Brian turned off the monitor and ended their conversation. His fingers started typing quickly on the keyboard, sending commands to XK Intelligence Agency one after another.

After working and being busy for several hours, time passed and the dawn finally came, but the sky was still dreary.

Brian stood up, walked out of the study and went to his bedroom. Seeing that Molly was still peacefully sleeping, he sat by the bedside and kissed her softly on her forehead. After a while, he stood up, intending to leave the room.

At that moment, Molly suddenly opened her sleepy eyes, looking at the shadowy figure ahead. Then, she said in a low voice, "Bri..."

Surprised, Brian turned to look at her and said, "You should sleep some more. I will just take Mark to school," while staring at her sleepy eyes.

Hearing that, Molly sat up and said, "If that is the case, let me come with you. Let's take him to school together."

With a smile flashing in his eyes, Brian nodded and said, "Okay!" He then turned around and left the bedroom.

With a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, Molly threw the quilt aside and got out of the bed. Feeling a slight discomfort on her body, the crazy touch she had experienced last night suddenly came to her mind. Thinking of that, she felt her heart softened and cheeks turning hot while entering the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Brian dressed Mark neatly and they went downstairs together. Lisa had already prepared some warm milk and breakfast on the dining table, considering both Mark's taste and his overall nutrition.
