Chapter 197 Waiting For tomorrow (Part Two) (1/2)

Lenny didn't know what Eric was talking about but she kept her mouth shut. She didn't ask him anything. She never did - she never asked him questions she didn't want answers to.

”Let's just--- go back,” Eric started pulling Lenny towards where they were parked. When they had gotten inside the car, Eric remained quiet - keeping his eyes towards the city, the light reflecting on his blue eyes. He was deep in thought.

Truth be told, Eric only came to the island to check what he could invest in. With the booming economy here, he figured it was worth a try. The Eastern District's success was practically overnight. Eric thought, 'This entertainment center right here, in the Southern District, will soon be like the Eastern one. I need to act fast. Such a booming island has any reasons to attract Dragon Empire Group to penetrate it, but how can a place have a dark auction club but no casinos?'

Eric didn't realize that they had already arrived at the Seaview Hotel - he was so caught up in his own thoughts. Eric bid Lenny good night and paid Brian a visit in his room.

Eric didn't realize that the elevator door had already opened. He was able to step out just as the elevator doors were closing. He spotted Tony along the corridor,” Is Brain here?” Eric asked.

”Mr. Brian Long is out with Miss Xia,” Tony responded. Tony bowed his head as he spoke.

Eric scrunched up his eyebrows - thinking. This was unusual, he hadn't expected this. ”Brain brought little Molly here?” Eric asked, he was confirming.

”Yes, sir,” Tony answered solemnly. ”It was an official decision of Mr. Brian,” Tony added.

Eric smiled,” Thanks, man,” he said, reaching out to shake Tony's hand. Eric didn't know what to make of this and he felt that Tony could somehow sense that he was bothered by what he had just told Eric. He covered his jealousy under his smile.

”Do you know where they're going?” Eric added. He had just thought to ask. 'Maybe, it could help, ' Eric thought to himself.

When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.
