Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 573

A true man will always stand by and support the woman he loves no matter what - even if it's her fault or not.

QY Island was open to anybody. It was a paradise of fun and pleasure as a lot of clubs were open all night till dawn. Tourism and the entertaining industry were the major economic sources here. Because it contributed so much to the country's economy, the government just conveniently turned a blind eye to the shady business on the island.

Leng's Corporations was going to hold a commercial cocktail party in the LW Hotel. It would be the first one held by Aaron since he had regained his control of Leng's Corporation by making use of his dominating power in the government. As a bastard, Aaron was cruel and ruthless. He had used every kind of filthy method on earth to retrieve his power in Leng's Corporations in just four years.

The cocktail party was to be held in the Dream of Luxury, the best one among the four renowned theme restaurants in the hotel. It was also the one most difficult to reserve in spite of its costliest price among the four. The restaurant consisted of two parts, the ship-shaped dining hall above ground and the underground dining hall with a transparent screen that curved 180 degrees to partition the restaurant from the sea water. The screen was made of a shock-proof and bullet-proof hard glass that was 20 centimeters in thickness. The whole interior was painted in white decorated with different shades of blue. With the help of romantic colorful lights and a variety of fish swimming outside the screen, visitors would have a feeling of dining under the sea. It resembled wonderlands so much that it seemed that time slowed down in there.

A long and fancy limousine slowly came to halt at the entrance of the hotel. A bellboy approached and opened the car door. A long leg stretched out first, the polished shoe glimmering in the sunshine. Numerous cameras flashed when its master finally stepped out. But the bodyguards were swift in hiding the man's face from view before any reporter could get a picture of it.

Brian lowered himself a little to reach out for Molly's hand. Despite his cold exterior, Molly gave him a gentle smile. The corners of her mouth lifted and her lips looked luscious as on it was a sheer layer of lip gloss. On her body was a sapphire blue strapless dress that hung way above her knees. She was wearing white heels that only made her look more delicate. Her silky hair was fixed in a loose bun adorned with a butterfly clip with crystals. On her neck was Firefly Stone, the necklace woven by nine cords with the valuable stone on the middle. Sensing her nervousness, the stone flashed a faint red light. Against the sapphire blue dress, however, the faint red was so conspicuous that it attracted everyone's attention.

Molly's eyes started to hurt as glaring flashes of camera continued to strike at them. She frowned and rested her eyes close. Brian took her by her hand and led her into the hotel lobby. She clutched her handbag tight against her chest as the bracelets on her wrists tinkled. She felt confident as she walked through these people because she could feel the strength and warmth on Brian's hand that held hers.

Brian looked handsome in his tailored suit. He went into the lobby with Molly with the help of a bell boy. Now, the reporters could only see their backs. Even though they were starting to get annoyed, they couldn't risk offending any of the guests at the cocktail party.

The inside of the Dream of Luxury was already full of people. They talked, laughed, and toasted to each other. Like many other cocktail parities for celebrities, guests invited here were important people from everywhere—politics, business, showbiz. They seemingly came here for the official announcement. But most of them had a different agenda for being here tonight. As the biggest names of the country gathered in this one place tonight, opportunities will be exchanged left and right. This was an unspoken standard in gatherings such as this.

As the CEO of Leng's Corporation, Aaron was a favorite topic of conversation tonight. His name was dropped throughout the party like a prayer whether it was from a politician or a businessman or a celebrity. Aaron's last name Leng meant coldness, which was a good way to describe him - he was cold and distant. Therefore, courage was necessary for anyone who wanted to be close to him. Most of the guests offered him a hello and a few comments about the weather before running off as they fail to come up with more interesting things to talk about.

Aaron spotted Brian as soon as he walked in. Aaron approached him to welcome him in person. He first whispered something to Ken's ear when he saw Molly tagging along with Brian. Then Ken immediately left.

"Wow, this is a surprise. I didn't think you'd come early, " Aaron commented.
