Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 190 Danger, The Flying Bullet (Part Two)

Brian looked keenly into Molly with his deep and attractive eyes as she sat there, with brows knitted. She was not happy at his statement that she was his girl. He somehow liked to see her sulk. He felt that it made her look lovely and amusing. Watching Molly narrow her eyes lightly and staring at him in ire, his eyes glistened in a wonderful, cunning smile. All of a sudden, he lunged forward and grabbed her in the arm, pulled her closer and kissed her fervently on her lips. Molly, completely stunned by the sudden kiss, was momentarily unable to move, then instinctively tried to scream out. However, he did not give her any chance. The second she opened her mouth, his lips caught hers and he devoured them, blocking any sound and savoring her mouth until he was satisfied and let go. The kiss lasted long and was intense. Molly gasped slightly for a moment. Her face blushed all the way to her neck as an electric feeling rushed all over her body. Though she felt utterly abashed, she stared fiercely at Brian.

Brian paid no heed at her ire. He just got up from the bed and put on his suit. "I will be busy all day long. You don't have to wait for me for lunch. But I will come back and have dinner with you." and without another word, he walked out of the room and was gone. It was not until the door closed behind him that Molly came out of her trance. She grumbled unwillingly and in a mild fit of rage, she buried her face into the pillow, furious at Brian's ignorance of her feeling. Then she turned over and got off from the bed. She was going to wash when her phone rang. It was a text from Aunt Shirley...

'Little Molly, no matter how difficult the road ahead might be, you must always believe that there is a beautiful twilight gleaming and waiting for you, guiding you to a happy, wonderful life!' Reading the text, Molly's heart felt warm and fuzzy with gratitude. A flash of warm light flickered in her eyes. She was happy and grateful.

It was a pure gleam of gratitude. She felt very lucky to have someone who cared so much about her and was concerned about her. She closed her eyes as she smiled softly, warmly...

'Thanks Aunt Shirley, I will. No matter how difficult the road may be... Nothing could stop me. Where there is a will, there is a way. Just like you said, there will always be different kinds of scenery waiting for me, guiding for me to a brighter life. And I believe I will get to it when the right time comes...' Holding the phone close to her heart, Molly was lost in her own thoughts. Her big, bright eyes glistened with determination. Her whole heart and mind lapsed in the yearning of the bright future.

It was the day Richie and Shirley departed for South Africa. A luxury private jet was waiting for them on the tarmac. After saying farewell to the others, Shirley climbed slowly up the boarding ladder. As she reached the top of the steps, she stopped and turned around. She could see the row upon row of high-rise buildings of A city, with their shiny glass walls, glistening in the sunlight, not far off in the distance. She didn't know why, but she had an odd feeling. She felt something was amiss, as if something bad was going to happen...

Noticing her concerns, Richie reached out and held her hand. There was no special emotion on his face. He had the same deep and esoteric eyes as Brian. Where else would Brian get it from? He knew what Shirley was holding her thoughts to. He also knew that there was no way they could turn back. "Go on!" he tried to speak over the sound of the plane engine as well as the noise came from other planes landing and taking off at the adjacent runways.

Shirley nodded her head lightly. She understood in her heart that both Wing and Brian had grown up. They now had their own thoughts, own ideas and their own lives. She shouldn't be interfering too much. But as a mom, she couldn't stop herself from worrying about them all the time. Even as adults now, they will always be her babies. She also understood that as they grew older and began to take part in the company businesses, there would be less and less things that she could be involved in. She knew that sometimes it was just sheer worry and that there was nothing she could do to help.

"But Richie, what if Brian..."

"Nothing to worry about, he knows what he is doing!" Richie interrupted Shirley and gave her an assured look. He did not want to tell her about Molly's real identity. As for Brian, he did not want him to know either. At least for the time being. He did not want him to be involved too much in these things even though he had enough confidence over Brian's ability to handle all company affairs.

Shirley smiled lightly at Richie. After so many years of going through life and death together, they had become completely translucent to each other. Without saying a word, one could sense how the other one is feeling or thinking. She knew that he did not want her to worry too much. And sometimes he thought it was better not to tell her so many things. Shirley, completely understanding Richie's concerns, chose to keep silent so that he wouldn't have to worry about her. They made themselves comfortable in the planes plush seats as the flight attendant offered them drink. Another flight attendant secured the door and the captain exchanged instructions with the air traffic control tower.

The plane taxied slowly along the runway. When the air traffic controller gave the green light, the plane burst forward in supersonic speed. Before long, it lifted its nose skyward as the rest of its body became airborne. Looking out the window, they could see the airport below get smaller and smaller. Likewise for everything in A city as buildings and houses turned into small stacks of blocks. After a short while, for those on the ground, the plane could no longer be seen. It had pierced through the layers of thick clouds and finally passed through the atmosphere and climbed up above. It was as if everything had fallen back into order. With no Park Shin Chun, no Wing, no Spark, not even Richie and Shirley, everything had returned to their former status.

However, to Molly, things were completely different. There was no way she would turn around and go back to her former life. What happened in the past had already happened. and it had completely changed her relationship with others, not to mention Edgar, Brian or Eric whom she did not know in the past.

"Molly, here is the wine ordered by No 7 VIP room!"

"I'm coming up to deliver it now!" Molly took the wine from the bartender and put it on the tray. She then walked toward the No 7 VIP room. After Wing's concert, she went back to work at the Grand Night Casino. With the variation of Brian's attitude toward her recently, she sometimes found herself having some strange, complicated feelings toward him. However, every time, she would think about the 'Love Game' that Brian mentioned to her, her heart would feel a certain flash of disappointment.

She had to control her emotions. It was the only thing that she could control at the moment after what had happened that night. Now that she had given her body, she could not give her heart just like that again. 'If one could not control her own heart, it would be absolutely pathetic!' She pondered on her way to the VIP room. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
