Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 74

Was it 'Do you have any interest in my woman, Molly, Mr. Mayor'?

At first, she thought that it was all an illusion, perhaps they were not talking about her. But now, she knew that it was not just in her head. 'They were talking about to whom I'm supposed to belong to...'

Seeing Edgar's eyes, their memory of childhood came back and haunted her. His eyes were still as beautiful as when they were young, soft and warm like a jade when he was calm, glaring and deep like the stars in the night sky when he was emotional.

Though his eyes were the same as they used to be, he was no longer the same person she knew during childhood. He had become a totally different person and now, he saw her as just a pair of worn shoes.

What a bitter truth! Time passed by, and they all had changed. They were not kids any more. Time and reality changed not only her but him as well.

'To him, I have become a cheap woman, who deserves neither love nor respect. Therefore, he could just insult me in any way.'

All of these mixed feelings began rising to Molly all of a sudden. She laughed at herself in her thoughts and tried to calm herself down. She stopped looking at the room and tried to focus on her task. She held the tray even more tightly and told herself to be polite enough so that no one could find fault with her. The exclusive job on the VIP floor was made possible by Brian, so she was supposed to be really careful and should not mess it all up and be fired.

Molly bit the bullet and tried to calm down with all her strength. Then, she came forward and said with softness and unflappability," Sir, this is your wine."

Brian caught a glimpse of her and found a slight smile unfolding on her face. She was obviously tolerant of the situation even though her hands were obviously trembling. Even so, she still tried to pour the wine for him smoothly.

He must say that she showed satisfactory etiquette which met his standards. She had no experience in serving VIPs, yet he could find that she was really careful to do an exemplary job the whole night. Before that night, he had only seen her working in the casino's main hall, where she was very flexible and clever to serve the load of clients at a time. But now, to his surprise, he found that she was also attractive, determined, and focused while serving the VIPs.

'Molly, you really are a special woman!'

Edgar was stunned and came to a standstill when he found out that the person who had entered the room was Molly. After a short while, he calmed down and his facial expression returned to normal, which was indifferent and slightly treacherous. Witnessing that Molly followed every command of Brian including putting the wine glass beside him, an array of complex feelings came into Edgar's mind, which was revealed in his eyes. However, he still tried to hide what he felt and quickly prevented himself from showing any sign of mixed emotions on his face so as to avoid anyone seeing it.

The skillful dealer continued to deal the cards. With three Kings already on the table in front of him, Edgar caught a glimpse of his fifth card, and found that it was the fourth King. Now he possessed all the four cards.

"It seems that... I have good luck today!" Edgar said with slight happiness and surprise in his voice. He raised up the wine glass and took a sip. The red liquid sprawled in his mouth, like blood flowing in and around his mouth, showing great bloodthirsty coldness and indifference.
