"What kind of person is he?" leaning against the seat, Molly asked Eric casually.
Raising his head slowly and staring at Molly with his sharp eyes, Eric said in a deep and slow voice,"Are you sure you want to know?"
Molly felt confounded and slightly embarrassed. Did she really want to know? Was she prepared to hear the answer? She had no idea.
To her, Brian was like the big, bright, and beautiful moon lighting up the night sky, desirable and yet, unreachable. And just like him, the moon would wax and wane, and as always, would leave you in darkness just when you got addicted to its brilliant light.
"If possible, I just want to live a free and simple life," Molly said slowly. With her nose slightly twitching and her mouth slightly curved down at its corners, Molly looked so dismal and sincere. Indeed, all she yearned for was to live a simple life and regain her freedom in the future.
Eric couldn't help but stare into her pitiful eyes. Although she was smiling, the truth behind her words was apparent. A strong sense of determination to escape her current situation was evident in her eyes.
Eric's eyes delved deeper and darker and his heart started to race. He tried his best to turn his gaze away from her as he said in a slow and indifferent voice,"Little Molly, the moment you entered Brian's life, your destiny has become inescapable. You will never live simply nor freely, no matter what you think or do."
"What about you?" Molly quickly retorted, turning her head to look at Eric.
"Me?" Eric asked, confused.
"Yes, what's your part in all of these?" With her sharp eyes narrowed, Molly stared at Eric and said in a low voice,"I know I am not that gorgeous for you to hover after me or make Brian do something for me. So be honest, tell me what do you want?"
With his lips forming into a smile and its corners curving slightly higher, Eric asked tauntingly,"What do you think?
Molly frowned slightly, gave him a quick glance, and then looked straight ahead with a stern face. Then, she said in a cold voice,"Too rich for my blood. But keep this in mind, I will definitely leave by all means even if it kills me."
Eric's eyes turned even deeper and darker after hearing her words which were so determined and without any hesitation. The smile on his face gradually turned wicked and sarcastic as he said slowly and calmly,"Little Molly, you have been living with Brian for nearly a month. Don't tell me that you still know nothing about him."
Molly didn't say a word because she did know nothing about Brian. He was very unpredictable. By the time she thought she had figured out what kind of person he was, he had changed already. Thus, she still had no idea about what kind of person he really was.
