Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 81 Get Out (Part One)

"Brian," a soft sweet voice came through the phone. Brian could tell that the woman speaking to him was smiling happily and seemed so glad to talk to him.

The anger on Brian's face had disappeared instantly. His dark eyes slightly lit up and his lips curved in a light smile. It seemed that he was glad to answer the phone call as well. As he noticed that it was late at night already, he said in a low voice," It's very late. Why haven't you slept yet?" The discontent in his eyes could not be hidden as he said those words.

The woman speaking at the other end of the line paused, and then she continued in a softer voice," Brian, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?"

These simple words seemed to have touched Brian's heart. His discontent disappeared at once, and the smile on his face became evident. "Where are you?" he asked, as if he had known already the reason why she called.

All the while, Molly was staring quietly at Brian with tears in her eyes. Molly found it a little bit hard to believe that Brian would actually talk to someone in such a gentle voice. Seeing it with her own eyes, she felt a little upset as well. Although she couldn't hear the voice on the phone clearly, she could tell that it was a woman. Just a while ago, Brian had been very mean to her, completely cruel, and unmindful of her feelings. But now, he was talking to a woman on the phone with gentleness and evident concern. The fact that he treated another woman much nicer made her very disappointed.

Could it be the woman in the picture in his study?

The thought stung her brutally. She bit her lips with anger, fighting to control it.

"I've arrived at the airport," the woman on the phone told Brian in a tuneful voice. "The airport in A City," she added with a teasing, smiling tone in her voice.

There was a playful light in Brian's eyes mingled with tenderness, as if he could see the woman smiling at him, blinking. His lips curved in a smile and said," I'm coming to pick you up now."

Before the woman answered him, he hung up. Without glancing at Molly, he told Tony firmly," Stop."

Tony pulled in at the side of the road at once. "Get out," Brian shouted indifferently even before the car completely stopped.

He didn't look at Molly while he spoke, but she knew too well that his words were meant for her. His words stunned her for a while, but the surprise was replaced by sadness and self-mockery immediately. She felt that she was nothing to him, compared to the woman on the phone.

Molly didn't say a word. Instead, she turned around quickly to open the door. Before she was able to set her foot out the door, a strong hand pulled one of her arms suddenly, and stopped her from getting out.

Brian looked at Molly's back quietly while he held her arm. He didn't understand why he wanted to stop her. When he noticed the disappointment in her eyes, he caught her arm subconsciously.

"Aren't you going to pick up someone?" Molly asked coldly in a low voice. Since the door had opened, the cold air had blown into the car. However, the coldness of the air didn't give Brian the chill, the coldness in Molly's voice did.

Brian's eyes darkened as he got angry at her question at once. He had been wondering the reason why he stopped her. Was it because he was worried about her? However, before he could figure it out clearly, she blurted out that stupid question which infuriated him. "Don't wander around. Go home as soon as possible. Do you understand?" he said coldly.

"Umm," Molly answered shortly, feeling sorry for herself. Where else could she go besides his house? She knew well that she couldn't leave him unless he let her.

Thinking of this, she tried to get out of the car again. At least, she could get away from him for a couple of hours, but Brian had held her so tight that she fell to the backseat.

Brian then realized that he didn't want to let go of her arm. Trying to hide what he felt, he released his hold and fixed the suit Molly was wearing. Then, he took out a few hundred from his wallet, put them into Molly's hand, and said," Take a taxi! If you are not home when I get back, I'll make sure you will regret it."

Looking at the money in her hand, Molly managed to put on a slight smile on her face and said," Umm." Only she knew that her smile was not genuine; she was simply mocking herself by doing it. Answering his order seemed to take her last reserves of strength but she had no choice.

Standing against the wind, Molly watched as Brian's car drove away. She was standing on the corner of a street alone while holding the money with her hand.

Slowly, she felt the tears brimming in her eyes.

Molly didn't know why she wanted to cry. She felt miserable all of a sudden. It was because of neither the game tonight, nor the way he had treated her earlier. She just felt really bad.

He once told her that he was worried that she would be abducted by someone again. If he really meant it, why would he leave her on the street like this?

Molly withdrew her distant gaze and looked at the wrinkled bills in her hand. Cars passed by one by one. Some taxi drivers had stopped and asked her if she needed a ride, but she didn't reply to any of them. She just stood there still while looking at the money in her hand. It seemed that she got lost in her thoughts and had forgotten what she was supposed to do next.

Just then, another car pulled over near her. She heard the car door opened and closed, but she didn't even raise her head to look at it. Suddenly, a man shouted at her in an angry voice," You're really a

trouble maker!"

This finally caught Molly's attention. She raised her head and saw a handsome face. Seeing the smile on his face, Molly smiled lightly back at him. Since the cold had turned her cheeks red, Molly looked like a small girl who had lost track of time playing outside in the cold and was happy to see someone looking for her.

Eric was speechless to see her that way. He led her to his car and said," Let me drive you home."

Molly followed him and got in the passenger seat. She gazed at Eric's face for a second. She realized that even though Eric and Brian looked different, both of them had a charming look, and it was a quite hard to withdraw her eyes from looking at him. With her eyes still fixed on Eric, Molly laughed all of a sudden.

Eric frowned and looked at her red face carefully and asked," Are you okay?" Apparently, Molly's laugh caught him by surprise.

Molly shook her head and the smile on her face disappeared. Instead of answering his question, she looked straight into his eyes and suggested," Didn't you say you wanted me to have a night snack somewhere with you?"

"Aren't you going back home now?" Eric asked, looking a little confused."Aren't you afraid that Brian might get angry at you if he can't find you at home?"

"I'm sure that he won't be back soon. He gave me these," Molly said with a smile. Waving the money in her hand, she blinked and continued with a cunning smile," My treat. Shall we?"

Looking at the forced smile on her face, Eric could tell that her smile was empty. A mixture of sadness, depression, humiliation was reflected in her eyes despite her attempt to hide it.It seemed that she had

a certain problem that she wanted to forget for the meantime.

Actually, Brian had called him a few minutes ago. Knowing that he was just a few blocks away from where Brian left Molly, he gave him the exact location and asked him to pick her up at once. Eric realized that Brian was worried about Molly.

In fact, he knew that Brian didn't have any time to spend with Molly tonight, but he never thought that Brian would bring her out of Grand Night Casino so early.

"It is just a few hundreds. What could you treat me to with it?"Eric said, and then sneered and pursed his lips. He felt a little bad to see Molly forcing a smile and pretending that she was okay.
