Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 100 An Inescapable Destiny (Part Three)

That spoke volumes. Edgar fixed his complicated gaze on Brian while he said those words. Obviously, it implied someone in particular.

Brian knew what he meant, so he responded quickly in a cold voice but still with a poker face, "Sharp and perceptive. No wonder you are the best in the Wolf SWAT Team."

What Brian said was also full of implication. Then putting his arms around Wing, Brian left the hall together with her.

Edgar stared at their retreating figure until Brian and Wing were out of sight. Then, he gazed at the piano on the stage with his sharp eyes while still wearing the polite smile on his face.

All of a sudden, Bill said in a firm voice, "Mr. Mayor, that woman means a lot to Mr. Long." Bill nodded several times to convince Edgar of that.

The look in Edgar's eyes seemed to become colder. He remarked while walking, "Explain clearly and get ready for the concert. Inform the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Tourist Bureau, and the Police Station of the meeting. The joint performance of Wing and Spark will be a spectacular attraction around the world. It means a lot to A City and I hope to enhance our prestige in the world through this concert."

"Yes, Mr. Mayor, " answered Bill simply with a lollipop in his mouth, and then followed Edgar's steps as both of them left the hall. All of a sudden, a man in working clothes came out from an obscure corner. The man looked at the glimmering entrance with two dark eyes and the corners of his mouth twisted wickedly.

"The sunset is infinitely splendid, yet night is coming!"

An abrupt and hoarse male voice echoed loudly and clearly in the air all of a sudden. Passers-by around Molly and Eric looked at them in surprise and stared at them strangely.

Molly felt so embarrassed. She contemptuously glanced at Eric, who was enjoying the beautiful sunset with open arms. Holding a warm instant coffee in one hand, she said in a disgusted voice, "Conceited idiot!"

Eric turned around and caught Molly twitching her mouth. With a smile of a crazy weirdo, he explained, "Aha, I did it just for the occasion!"

"As you said, should I say 'appointment after twilight?" Molly said ironically.

Hearing what Molly said, Eric ran to Molly right away, and then sat on the bench next to her. He put his arms at the back of the bench behind Molly and stared at her with loving eyes. Afterwards, he came on closer and said in an enchanting voice, "So, you want to have an appointment with me after twilight?" Molly answered by instinct, "Yeah?" She didn't realize what he actually meant, but feeling uncomfortable when Eric was too close to her, she just responded automatically.

A faint coffee taste mingled with a musky scent of a man struck Molly's nose. She turned her head away in a hurry to escape Eric's approach. Then, realizing what he had meant, she said in an even more disgusted voice matched with a disgusted look on her face, "Sorry, I didn't mean that."

Eric lifted his eyebrows and then appealed pathetically, "Come on, I had street food with you before."

"Yeah, I still remember that you stole my food after finishing yours, " said Molly with her lips curled like a cute kid.

Eric found himself unwilling to take his eyes off her even though she looked disgusted with him. As a matter of fact, he knew clearly that she was only feigning mad at him. His heart started to race and his breath was taken away by this pretty face in front of him while his dark eyes delved deeper and darker.

Brian was unlikely to return to Dragon Island, thus he was bound to take control of it. He would be the next Chief of Dragon Island. That was why a great number of people always curried favor with him and dared not to refuse him. Well, except for Molly.

"So to express my gratitude for your street food, I have decided to invite you to dinner. Okay?" Eric asked in a sweet voice with eyes still fixed on Molly.

"No!" responded Molly quickly but firmly.

Eric sneered, "Are you afraid that Brian would want to see you anytime soon?" Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Molly's stomach dropped right away upon hearing what Eric had said. She turned her head a little and denied stubbornly, "No!"

Eric smiled all of a sudden and then said mysteriously, "Actually, I need your help!"

Confused, Molly asked, "Oh?"

With hands supporting his chin, Eric said shamelessly like a crazy fool, "I want to go to a private party tonight and Kay was supposed to come with me. But I stood her up this afternoon just because of you. So, I have nobody to go with. You should go with me."

Molly disapproved and refused his suggestion. "No, I won't go. A lot of girls will line up just to be your companion if you ask them." Molly didn't want to go with him.

"You're right!" Eric nodded and said with an evil smile on his face, "but, you are the only person I would like to ask now."

"No way!" Molly refused again without any hesitation.

"Please, dearest Little Molly, do me a favor. Let me owe you a favor and then you can get a reward, " Eric begged.

"Sorry, I can't, " said Molly firmly.

"Brian will be with Wing tonight and he will return home really late, " explained Eric. Eric lifted his eyebrows while he said this. Then as he had expected, a strong sense of dismay came across into Molly's eyes right away but disappeared in the turn of a hand. Molly had hidden the sadness faintly exuding in her eyes in an instant, as her pride would never allow anybody to see through her true feelings.

Molly didn't know why but she felt a pang of pain in her heart and her breath came short all of a sudden. After a while of silence, she replied blankly, "Ok, I'll go with you."

Eric smiled happily and meaningfully as soon as he heard it. He gazed at Molly with loving eyes and looked forward to going to the private party which he had been unwilling to go to a while ago, but at this moment, he couldn't wait.
