Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 748

All the memories about you had been engraved on my soul, and they would never change.

It was the clearest impression on my mind and that would be kept forever--because it was you, only you, and no one else could ever repeat that!

The people were playing on the table except that the lady wore unreadable expressions on their faces. The night was young and chilly, and the casino was filled as usual. It was a fine night to play. Molly hesitated a bit on her seat upon remembering that particular time.

Her gaze darted to Brian who sat across her, with her eyes full of charm and innocence. The dress she wore also reflected those traits perfectly. Brian was almost tempted to kiss her under the casino's bright lights because of the deadly combination of sultry and innocence that was on Molly Xia's face.

Her voice penetrated his thoughts. "Since you have chosen the dealer," the words slowly rolled off her tongue as she boldly looked at him.

"Does that mean that I can decide how to bet?" Molly said then she deliberately paused. Her eyes were now filled with a slight mirth.

Brian cast a deep but serene look towards her. "Yes," he replied calmly.

At this, Molly's lips broke into a slight smile. The light reflected on her glossy, honey glazed mouth made her lips look fuller and plumper. Her voice came out lazy and casual as she said, "I've heard a lot of legends about your gambling skills. You once played a roulette game with Hanson, the most outstanding pupil of the God of Gamblers. Many people saw your stunts that time."

Molly's face suddenly lit up and she paused in the middle of her sentence. Her eyes scanned the people on their table as she said, "I will never choose your strengths."

One of the best dealers in the world, Shane, frowned slightly at this and thought to himself, 'There are fixed rules in the gambling field. I never met a lady like this one.

Where is she from? If we weren't in a high-level casino and if she wasn't a lady, I would've asked security to drive her out, ' he mused.

Shane and the rest of them turned to look at her as she said, "To be fair, I will not take all the advantages, of course." Molly's doe eyes glinted with something akin to trickery and a hint of secrecy as she added, "We will use two out of three innings. They are the five-card stud, dice and

Baccarat!"

Then, she looked pointedly at Shane and spoke, "Shane is the best dealer in the world. The two innings among the three are playing poker. I seem to have all the advantages. But maybe I don't! What do you think about it?"

The smile from Molly's lips gradually faded and her gaze turned to Brian. She called him again, "Brian?"

Across her, Brian's steel cold eyes glinted but the rest of his face was blank when his name tumbled out of her lips. "Let's start." the words slowly came out of his mouth.

"Yes, Sir," Shane answered.

A waiter came to the table and pressed a pair of white gloves onto Shane's awaiting hands. He put them on and tore open two new decks of playing cards laid on the playing table, and shuffled the stacks deftly and swiftly between his hands. After he finished all the pregame preparations, he put the poker in his hand and turned to Molly. He asked, " Would you like to give them a cut?"

Brian's eyes darted to Molly, who squinted slightly and refused Shane's offer, "No, I would not."

At this, he gave Shane a pointed look and the dealer immediately understood what he meant, and nodded. Shane proceeded to put the poker inside the dealing case.

However, a female voice piped up, "Take the first three cards away!"
