"What kind of person is he?" leaning against the seat, Molly asked Eric casually.
Raising his head slowly and staring at Molly with his sharp eyes, Eric said in a deep and slow
voice,"Are you sure you want to know?"
Molly felt confounded and slightly embarrassed. Did she really want to know? Was she prepared to
hear the answer? She had no idea.
To her, Brian was like the big, bright, and beautiful moon lighting up the night sky, desirable and yet,
unreachable. And just like him, the moon would wax and wane, and as always, would leave you in
darkness just when you got addicted to its brilliant light.
"If possible, I just want to live a free and simple life," Molly said slowly. With her nose slightly twitching
and her mouth slightly curved down at its corners, Molly looked so dismal and sincere. Indeed, all she
yearned for was to live a simple life and regain her freedom in the future.
Eric couldn't help but stare into her pitiful eyes. Although she was smiling, the truth behind her words
was apparent. A strong sense of determination to escape her current situation was evident in her eyes.
Eric's eyes delved deeper and darker and his heart started to race. He tried his best to turn his gaze
away from her as he said in a slow and indifferent voice,"Little Molly, the moment you entered Brian's
life, your destiny has become inescapable. You will never live simply nor freely, no matter what you
think or do."
"What about you?" Molly quickly retorted, turning her head to look at Eric.
"Me?" Eric asked, confused.
"Yes, what's your part in all of these?" With her sharp eyes narrowed, Molly stared at Eric and said in a
low voice,"I know I am not that gorgeous for you to hover after me or make Brian do something for me.
So be honest, tell me what do you want?"
With his lips forming into a smile and its corners curving slightly higher, Eric asked tauntingly,"What do
you think?
Molly frowned slightly, gave him a quick glance, and then looked straight ahead with a stern face. Then,
she said in a cold voice,"Too rich for my blood. But keep this in mind, I will definitely leave by all means
even if it kills me."
Eric's eyes turned even deeper and darker after hearing her words which were so determined and
without any hesitation. The smile on his face gradually turned wicked and sarcastic as he said slowly
and calmly,"Little Molly, you have been living with Brian for nearly a month. Don't tell me that you still
know nothing about him."
Molly didn't say a word because she did know nothing about Brian. He was very unpredictable. By the
time she thought she had figured out what kind of person he was, he had changed already. Thus, she
still had no idea about what kind of person he really was.
Eric squinted at Molly, and then said firmly but compassionately,"You have nowhere to run and nothing
to do unless Brian lets you, right?"
"Humph!" Molly didn't think so. There was even a subtle sneer on her face when she said in an icy-cold
voice,"Even though he is particularly powerful in A City, could he still find me when I go to the end of
the earth? I don't think he could stretch as far as I could go. I can go further, far away from A City, or to
somewhere he can't reach, whatever it takes. Plus, I'm just a toy he likes for the moment, he will get
tired of me soon. I'm sure he won't trouble himself to find me by then.Either way, I'll soon have my way
out!"
Although Eric disagreed with her, he just kept his remark to himself. With an enchanting smile on his
good-looking face, he said vaguely,"Well, you are right! Go break a leg."
Although his words sounded serious and sincere, Molly still could tell a trace of sadness and dismay.
Silence enveloped the car as Eric felt a little upset all of sudden. He felt tightness in his chest as if there
was something weighing on his heart. He intended to push it away, but he was unwilling to let it out.
Eric looked at Molly who was meanwhile lost in her thoughts quietly. Suddenly, she realized that her
dreaded one month had almost passed away. It was a really complicated life. She was utterly
exhausted. The flesh wound would be healed someday, and she could recover from the physical
fatigue by taking a good rest, but how about the broken heart and mental exhaustion?
All of sudden, Brian's handsome face appeared in Molly's mind. His deep and dark eyes and thin lips
formed into an enchanting smile.
She couldn't help but fall for his short-lived affection and protectiveness maybe because she had a
virgin complex. However, she knew clearly that Brian was not the man for her, and she kept warning
herself not to fall in love with him since he was not Mr. Right. He was like an addicting drug that she
should never try, otherwise, it would be impossible to get rid of.
If others knew her true feelings for Brian, they might think of her as a coward or a crazy woman. Well,
admittedly, Molly knew that she was having conflicting thoughts about Brian. She always knew that she
could not have a crush on Brian and she must leave him for sure.
But on the other hand, she doubted whether she could leave him that easily and willingly as what she
had thought and ought to do. She had a bad feeling that her whole life would just revolve around him.
Molly shivered with a fear all of sudden as the thought of being associated with Brian for "her whole
life" crossed through her mind.

At Golden Auditorium of A City, With a big smile on her face and her two big bright eyes shining, Wing
looked happily at the place where her charity concert was scheduled to be held.
"Are you happy?" asked Brian in a soft voice while standing next to Wing.
