Chapter 191 Danger, The Flying Bullet (Part Three)
Chapter 191 Danger, The Flying Bullet (Part Three)
Except for Jason, no one had ever noticed her connection with Brian. So without drawing any attention and gossip, she worked rather happily as ever. The only difference was that as she started to wait on VIP rooms instead of at the lobby, she was beginning to earn a great deal more tips. As she had always been thrifty, she put all of the money she earned in the bank, in case one day they should come in handy.
Knocking lightly on the door, Molly softly pushed the door open and walked into the room. One never needed to wait for the customer to approve to enter unless they had specifically required it. Dressed in a claret colored waiter's dress Molly delivered the wine on a tray. As she approached the table, she stooped down and laid the wine on the table next to the clients, then just as quickly withdrew from the room. Though she had been waiting on the VIP rooms for some time, she was still filled with astonishment when seeing piles of money being gambled on the table.
Sometimes she wondered how different people could be. Some people work hard, their whole lives, from sunrise to sunset, only to earn enough money to keep them full and sheltered. But some people could lavish the same or even a bigger amount within a few minutes. On the flip side, some people would suddenly become wealthy overnight...
Brooded for a short while, Molly gave her shoulders a slight shrug. She curled her lips slightly up in discontent at the thought and went back to her work. She was not aware that all of her actions were being watched and recorded clearly through the surveillance system and displayed in different angles on different screens, placed right in front of Brian. At the moment, he sat there, his eyes fixed on the screen, staring intently at Molly, absorbed as she was busy at the casino.
Tony stood in the corner of the room and watched Brian as he gawked at the screen. He was confused and puzzled by Brian's recent behavior. He did not understand why Brian was still in A city after Wing had left three days ago. He lowered his head and looked at his watch. It was about the time. He had to remind him...
"Mr. Brian Long, it is almost the time to leave." Tony leaned over Brian's shoulder.
Brian averted his face away from the screen and stood up from his seat. He grabbed his suit from the back of the chair and put it on as he strode out of the surveillance room. Tony followed silently behind him. As they walked into the elevator and before Tony could press the elevator button, Brian reached out his hand and pressed the VIP floor button instead.

An astound look swept over Tony's face. As he stood there and confused about what Brian was up to, the elevator had already climbed up to the VIP floor. "Just wait for me here!" Brian said briefly in his emotionless voice as the door opened and he walked quickly towards VIP section…
With a blank face Brian walked through the corridor of the VIP area which was laid with a thick layer of carpets. The waiters stood on attention and gave a salute as he passed through. Although they had no idea who he was, they had been trained to think that anyone who could show up on this floor was bound to be someone with wealth and power.
And at that moment, Molly had just delivered a bottle of wine into a VIP room, happy and content over her 10, 000-dollar tips. Suddenly, she was grabbed by the wrist, pulled backward and dragged by some force...
She cried out instinctively. "Who..." She swallowed her words when she realized that it was Brian who was dragging her. It wasn't until after a few steps that she recovered from confusion and cried,"Where are you taking me?"
"I am taking you to QY Island with me." Brian answered briefly. And without any further explanations or even looking at her, he continued to drag her toward the elevator.
Molly's eyes enlarged in astonishment. Instantly, she jerked in the opposition and looked at Brian not entirely knowing what was going on. "I am still on my shift! Let go of me!" she blurted.
"I already had Jason approve your leave." he said calmly but determinedly.
Molly's eyes darkened. "Have you ever considered about what people would think if I leave all of a sudden? Has it ever come to your mind that you might be forcing me into trouble? Plus, you are going to that island for business. You don't want me to cause you any inconvenience, do you?" she said sullenly.
Brian did not respond, just stared at her with his deep, esoteric eyes for a moment as she continued.
"I'd better stay here with my work. Don't worry about me, I don't want to be a hindrance to your business!" Molly was aware of her manners and said softly and politely. She really did not want to go with him. She was just pandering to draw herself out of this awkward situation. She felt that Brian had been acting very differently in the last few days, and she herself was not sure how to deal with him at all. 'It is better stay and stick to my own business. Who knows what is waiting for me on that QY Island? I don't even see what he is up to, at all' she thought.
"From now on, you are fired!" Without saying another word, Brian dragged Molly into the elevator. A raging anger swept across his eyes and his breathing was heavy as they went in. Sweat had formed on his forehead.
Tony, who had been waiting at the elevator continued to be puzzled and astonished when he saw Brian drag Molly into the elevator. It was no doubt that Brian was going to take Molly with him. Brooding in his thoughts, Tony pressed the button for the underground parking lot.
There was a complete silence in the car all the way to the airport. Each of them had fallen deep in their own thoughts. In the small and confined space of the car, the atmosphere was tense and uncomfortable. Tony looked suspiciously at Brian, and then over to Molly, trying to find out some clues that could satisfy his excessive curiosity. The indescribably weird atmosphere wafted in between Brian and Molly the whole way, even after they have boarded the plane. After they have settled in, the
captain made the usual announcements and the speaker and prepared for takeoff. They were airborne, not long after.
