Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 279 Apology Not Accepted (Part Two)

Becky was back. He went to pick her up at the airport. They even spent the night in that hotel where she lost her virginity, which changed her life forever. Becky and Brian probably even did it in that same bed. Molly blinked, frowned, and fought to keep the bitterness deep inside her. She didn't want to show that she was sad and so weak that she couldn't keep her feelings in check. She'd just try to shut out his teasing, and not let him get to her. They were looking at each other silently as if there were nobody else in this room. At least, nobody who fought about love or hatred, who wanted each other desperately but couldn't bring themselves to admit it.

The foreman finally figured it out. He'd learned to be sharp-eyed and could sense what was going on. He was confused when Jason gave him certain orders yesterday. But now he finally got it. "Phewww... Phew..."

Suddenly the man was whining again. His mouth and nose were covered by one of the guards for a long time. So he found it difficult to breathe and whined. The man who held him readjusted in a hurry, and tried to cover his mouth again. Molly silently took a deep breath and looked away from Brian. She took a look at the guy and knew something in her heart. She wore a mocking smile, but she wasn't happy at all. Instead, she felt even sadder. What was Brian trying to do?

Was he forcing this man to apologize to her?

Well, well!

The mocking grin got even wider. She knew what she had to do. She lowered her head a bit and typed on her phone, "I'm leaving, if there is nothing else!"

Seeing Molly's expression, Brian did grow angrier. But also, his heart ached somehow. He hated it when he felt sorry for her. However, the more he hated it, the more sympathy he felt for the girl.

Brian forced himself to take his eyes from Molly as if he were fighting with himself. He signaled Jason and the guy moved forward. "I have my rules. You're one of our employees and we need to protect you from being bullied!"

So Molly got her answer when Jason told her. She frowned and swallowed bitterly. "No! It's not in the rules to break them for me, is it?" she typed on her phone.

Jason frowned at her words and explained again, "We have our rules in the Casino. This man threw his drink in your face, which means he was breaking the rules. He has to apologize to you now!"

Molly snorted through her nose with a teasing smile. She looked at Brian's cold, indifferent face. She was mad enough to see red. Where was he when she was teased and bullied by that man? Well, probably staying with Becky in the hotel.

She took a deep breath and held her tears back. "I'm nobody to you. Just a waitress here. So do all your employees get this kind of treatment? Will you protect everyone who works here? Why are you doing this for me? Don't you have work to do? Now that you've chosen to let go of me, why can't you just leave me alone?" she typed again.

Her words totally irritated Brian. His sorry and pity were completely replaced with rage before he could sort out his emotions. He decided to reply to her coldly. "I'm a free man and don't have anything else to do."

When he was with Becky last night, Eric called him. Eric's taunts irritated him so much that he called Molly afterwards. He did not know why he did it. He just couldn't stand to see her bullied. He even forgot that calling her would be useless since she couldn't speak.

He had planned to text her. But he forgot to do that. He left the hotel without thinking twice and headed for the Casino in a hurry. And that was when he ran into her and Eric, and they were together in Eric's car!

Great! She managed to seduce Eric as soon as she left him. Maybe they'd been like this for a long time. Nevertheless, he was more worried about than angry about it. He was worried that that man hurt her both mentally and physically!

He figured that since he'd promised he'd heal her throat, then he needed to protect her while she was still mute. Now he felt ridiculous, felt betrayed, felt like a fool.

Molly could practically feel Brian's dark thoughts. But she gritted her teeth and glared at him. She wanted him to think she was angry, but deep down she hurt. Brian sat down slowly. The emotionless face with chiseled features showed nothing but cruelty. He narrowed his eagle eyes and cast a sidelong glance at Tony.

Tony was his right hand man. He stayed with Brian all the time and knew clearly what his subtle action meant. As an enforcer he was always ready to carry out Brian's orders. Seeing Brian look at him, Tony nodded a bit and then walked over to the bully who had harassed Molly. Suddenly, he raised his leg and kicked the bully before anyone knew what he was doing.

"Ouch!"

The big man crumpled immediately. He was knocked to the ground, and couldn't even get back up. He shouted loudly in anguish.

"Apologize to her." Tony's emotionless cold voice sounded loud in the silent room. But he simply ordered this man to apologize as calmly as if he were talking about the weather.

The man had never been tortured like this before. The big man was now just a big ball of agony, curled up, sweating and trembling violently. All he could do was to whine in pain.

Haunted by the horror of it, all Molly could do was to watch helplessly. She stepped back a bit, and stopped beside Jason, who did the same. They didn't want to be in the way in case Tony struck the man again. He cast a secret glance at Brian, who just looked sullen. "Apologize to her!" Tony warned in a cold tone. This time, he pulled out a handgun, cocked it with a *chuchak*, and pressed the cold metal against the man's head. 000000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
