Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 554

The explanation was plain and to the point, but Brian said it in a confident and domineering tone, which was due to the arrogance deep in his heart. He had every right to be so arrogant.

"Due to your manipulation, untoward accidents may happen with many people..." Molly said in a polite tone, hinting at her disapproval of what Brian did and said.

Brian just wore a faint smile and responded, "Trading is very much like gambling. It's a game for the greedy people. Nobody was forced to enter stock market, every one made a choice." After taking a pause, he added, "Besides, what I do is not popular business. If I have considered everyone else's well-being, then accidents and misfortunes will happen to me!"

Molly did not utter a single word. Actually, she clearly understood what Brian saying was true, because she had worked part-time in the casino. But still none of this put her at ease.

Upon seeing Molly slightly lowering her eyes and seeming distressed, Brian suddenly said, "If you don't like that kind of thing, I can give up Emp, and even Grand Night Casino!"

Hearing his shocking reaction, Molly raised her head and looked at Brian with her mouth slightly open, as if she was looking at a stranger. She could not believe what she had just heard. She tried to read his face, to find some sign that he was joking, but instead was confronted with his seriousness. She asked, "Really?"

"I'm not kidding!" Brian assured her of his sincerity yet again.

Molly could not express how she was feeling now. She was taken aback by Brian's words. How could he give up his business for her sake, in an instant?

"Well, you don't believe me?" Brian asked with remorseful eyes. "Molly, why don't you try? If you need it, I can stop Grand Night Casino and Emp Exchange right now!"

Molly tried to close her mouth and swallowed her saliva before she could come back to her senses. In a hurry, she shook her head and said, "Well, you don't need to do that just because of what I said... Besides, I could never make you do that."

Hearing her response, Brian sighed silently. In a bid to change the topic, he then said, "When I finish what I'm doing, let's head for lunch and then go to Grand Night Casino." Just saying that, he withdrew his eye-contact with her and his fingers landed back onto the keyboard.

However, he now felt pangs of pain and depression because of Molly's words, which sounded escaping. As a result, he reduced a share's price by one percent instead of raising it by one percent, which he was supposed to.

Brian did not finish work until noon. He had a good control of time. It was right in time for lunch. Instead of going somewhere far, they had lunch at a Chinese restaurant near Emp. But Molly least expected to encounter someone they ran into at the restaurant.

Neither did Becky nor Lucy expect to meet Brian and Molly there. After having glancing at one another, they walked forwards...

"Mr. Brian Long!"

"Bri..."

Both of them ignored Molly with tacit understanding. Molly compressed her lips slightly and took a step backwards, with an embarrassed and coward expression all over her face, almost as if she was unpresentable.

In a split second, Brian glanced at her and frowned. As Molly took a step back, he grabbed her hand to stop her while saying indifferently, "I'm bringing Mol here to have lunch. Then we have some other plans..."

"Mr. Brian Long, we too have just arrived. Why don't you join us?" Lucy suggested.
