Chapter 612 Getting A Job (Part Three) (2/2)

“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”

Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.

snacks here!”

”Okay!” Ximena answered excitedly but her face looked the opposite. She was standing in front of the window and looking out as Aaron and Vivi were having coffee on the patio, talking and laughing. Molly sensed she wasn't listening already so she just said, confused, ”Well, um, it's okay.”

”Hmm,” Molly said, ”Ximena, I'll be strong and hold on. You should too.”

Despite the hurt Ximena was feeling, she said with a light smile, ”Don't worry, I've never given up.”

They said goodbye and hung up the phone. Standing under the clear, blue sky; Molly stretched her arms, closed her eyes, and took deep breaths as she relished the sunlight. She thought, 'I've lost to Brian, so what? I am who I am, I'm Molly Xia, and I will survive anything life throws at me. Without you, I'd still be happy no matter what it costs.'

She opened her eyes squinting at the sunlight. She looked at the street where people were hustling and bustling. Her heart might have been imprisoned but her mind wasn't. 'One day, I'll get what I want on my own without anyone's help, one day!' she promised herself.

With a hopeful smile pasted on her face, she started to walk without no clear destination in mind—she was going to spend the rest of her day however she wanted to.

A figure walked out from behind a flower bed. With a cruel and gloomy smile, the person followed Molly into the crowd.
