Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 583

Irritated, Edgar furrowed his eyebrows and wondered, 'How could serious matters happen all at the same time?'

With a piercing look, he ended the call after telling Director Huang to find Daniel as soon as possible, or turn to the police for help if needed. After hanging up, he closed his eyes and leaned back against his chair. Thinking things over again, he felt something was wrong. If the business matter of the Dragon Empire was related to the politics in Dragon Island, he could merely regard it as a political ploy. However, it was quite a strange coincidence that such mishap happened along with many other matters that had nothing to do with Dragon Island.

Suddenly, everyone got involved by this chain of unexpected events and became busy. It was like a good hand dealt in a gamble which was messed up and the scheduled good ending turned unknown.

At Brian's villa, Molly sat on pins and needles after he left home. Bored with nothing to do, she washed the dishes, got changed and left the house. She decided to take a walk around a lake nearby. After aimlessly walking for quite some time, she felt exhausted and rested on a bench. Deep on her thoughts, she stared blankly at the people passing by.

For a long time, she sat there, devoured by her thoughts. Suddenly, her phone rang and snapped her out of her trance. Fishing out her phone from her bag, she glanced at the number and answered it hurriedly, "Bri!" Her eyes started to brighten.

"Where are you now?" Brian asked flatly from the other end of the call. Curious by the tone of his voice, Molly immediately answered, "I'm near the center of the lake."

"Are you back now?" looking around, Molly continued.

"Yes." said Brian, "Stay there and I'll come get you."

Brian didn't hang up on her. They kept talking on the phone until he saw her from a distance. At the sight of her looking at him, he ended the call.

"Have you finished your work?" she asked. With her eyes glimmering as the sun hit them, she stared at him just like a child who had been left behind.

Upon hearing her question, he shook his head lightly, "Not yet. I might become very busy today but I thought that you might feel bored at home, so I came to pick you up. Stay with me today, okay?"

Molly felt a bit puzzled. Brian had never had her around when he was working. She wondered why he broke his habit today, but still obediently nodded despite her doubts.

With a soft smile appearing on his face, Brian took Molly's hand and they left together. After their figures faded among the bushes, a man in black waistcoat, jeans and wearing sunglasses walked out from behind a tree. His lips curled into a cruel smile while staring at the bench which Molly remained seated. With a snort, he then turned around and also left the place.

Their drive began. Molly sat in the car and remained silent for a while. Knowing him for the longest time, she learned a lot of things from the glint in Brian's eyes. She didn't know what had happened, but she had a feeling that it must be something significant.

"Bri, you came back to find me because you thought that I might be in danger, right?" Molly asked, tilting her head. Deep inside, she wished he would tell her the truth.

Listening to her words, Brian stole a quick glance at her, astonished that she was able to read his mind. He nodded and calmly said, "Something happened to the entertainment center. It's a tough one to deal with, and I can't afford to have any distractions." Molly understood the implication of his words: He wanted to keep her in his side just in case he wouldn't be able to check on her.

After taking a grasp of the situation, she pressed her lips together, and her clear eyes glittered slightly. She then sat still and didn't say anything more to disturb Brian.
