Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 87

'Damn it, Molly Xia, how dare you hang out at night and turn off your phone!'

There was some serious tension in the air. Rage swelled within Brian Long. He set his mouth in a grim line and dialed his home number on the phone.

In the stillness of the night, the telephone ringing sounded harsh in such an empty house. It made the atmosphere taut.

Hurriedly, Molly got out of the taxi. She thanked the taxi driver and paid him double-fare.

When she rang the doorbell, John answered.

"Ahhh! You're back, Miss Xia!"With a smile, John ushered her in, thinking she just finished working her shift and came home.

Molly took a look at the house with no lights on. "Is Brian already home?" she asked anxiously.

"No, he's not home yet," John answered with a simile.

"Thank you, John," she nodded. As soon as she had finished talking to John, she rushed to get to the villa.

Although Brian hadn't come home, she still feared for herself. It was so late in the night that she couldn't get a cab without coughing double-fare, meaning she must have taken longer to get here.

Actually, she was way too late. She didn't know how Brian was going to punish her this time.

As she opened the door, she turned on the lights as always. Then she put on slippers, a wave of relief sweeping through her when she made sure there was nobody around.

First thing, she went to the sofa, picked up the phone and called the number Shirley had given her. The call was answered on the first ring.

"This is Molly, Aunt Shirley." "I'm already home," she reported.

"OK, that's good." Shirley answered. In a black Benz, parked some distance from the villa, Shirley watched her. As they left the cake shop, she had stealthily watched Molly. After she got into the taxi, Shirley followed her all the way home.

The corners of Molly's mouth turned up in a smile. "Thank You for all you have done tonight, Aunt Shirley," she said.

"You're welcome. You make me feel like I've known you forever, even though we just met," Shirley said, still keeping her eyes on the villa. "Molly, just don't forget our appointment the day after tomorrow," she continued.

"No, I won't."

"When you have a new phone, keep me posted, so that we don't lose contact…"Molly hummed in agreement. "It is pretty late. Go get some rest," Shirley advised.

"Ok," Molly replied. Shirley was about to hang up, but something popped into her mind. "Hang on a second there. Can I ask you a favor?" she hurriedly requested.

"What's the matter?"Molly asked. "I'll help you if I can," she quickly added.

"It's no big deal…"Shirley said with a smile. "It's just… Would you please not tell anyone, even those you are closest to, that you know me?"

After hearing what she said, Molly frowned. She was confused why she said something like that, but she just agreed, trying not to interrupt.
