Chapter 636 Danger Lurked In Every Corner (Part Two) (2/2)

Lucy complied. After placing the breakfast in Brian's study without disturbing his work, she returned downstairs and saw that Lisa was still busy preparing breakfast. She asked, ”Mom, where's Mrs. Molly Long's breakfast? Should it be taken upstairs too?”

”She usually eats downstairs,” said Lisa. She didn't sense anything odd about Lucy's behavior. Suddenly she stopped what she was doin

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. ”As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...

well, but at the moment, she felt like she didn't know him at all. Seeing Brian made her feel suffocated. She didn't even know how to breathe anymore while he was near her.

Even though it was weak, he felt her gaze on him. He stopped typing, but kept his eyes on the screen. He looked at the commands on the laptop, but he forgot what he was supposed to do until the party at the other end sent him the codes. Collecting himself, he typed out all the orders.

Once he was done, he tossed the laptop aside and looked at Molly intensely.

Molly turned her head away quickly and closed her eyes. There was nothing but coldness on her pale face.

Brian didn't move from his position on the sofa. Neither of them spoke. The air in the room seemed to have become denser. It was hard to breathe, for both of them.

Molly swallowed; she was bitter inside. She didn't understand why he was there.

Brian finally said, ”I have asked for a few days off for you at the troupe. Stay at home and get some rest.”

Molly opened her eyes slowly. Clearly, Brian had known that she was working at the troupe. But she wasn't in the mood to think about how he had found out. Her life was always so transparent in front of him.

Silence fell once again. An invisible wall was erected between them. They could see each other, but neither of them could reach the other side.

A melodious violin solo broke the silence. Brian's eyes drifted to Molly's phone on the nightstand.

Molly didn't want to answer it. She didn't care who was calling. But whoever was calling her was pretty persistent. The phone rang again and again.

Brian frowned. He neither moved nor spoke. Finally, Molly extended her hand and took the phone. She had intended to turn it off, but when she saw the caller ID, her eyes brimmed with tears.
