The melody of the violin still lingered in Molly's head.
It was full of great magic.
Every note played brought her peace and serenity. She rejoiced as she knew Spark and his music.
"The Summer Breeze," Molly mumbled with a gentle smile, which was like a flower in the winter that
bloomed as the afternoon sunlight kissed it. Anyone could fall in love with it.
Molly walked with light steps happily, and then the words Shirley said to her earlier popped into her
head and gave her some enlightenment. If life really had to be like this, why couldn't she let herself live
in an easier way? Why would she always put herself in the dark and desperate situations?
Her eyes lit up being enlightened with those words. She heaved a sigh of relief and chuckled. Then she
continued her way. Her eyes widened with delight as they met the Sun Supermarket Chain. It painted
her a big smile. She wandered in the Supermarket, steering a shopping cart with excitement as if it
were her first time.
She hadn't shopped at the supermarket for a long time since all her time was devoted to work. Usually,
she would leave some money to Daniel for shopping. What was more, this month she didn't need to
buy anything at all.
She was checking for a jar of salad dressing when her phone made a soft noise. Displeased, she took
her phone out to see who was calling. Her face frowned as the caller turned out to be Eric. "What for
now?" Molly asked in an unfriendly tone.
The noise from the other line was very audible to Eric. With no sign of annoyance, though, he
asked,"Where are you now? And what is all that noise?"
"I'm at the supermarket," Molly replied and looked around automatically as if to check if Eric was
around.
"Supermarket?" Eric exclaimed. "What are you doing there?"
"Buying food!"
"Buying food?"
"Hey, do you really intend to repeat exactly what I say?" Molly asked, rolling her eyes. Despite Molly's
slightly hostile tone, somehow, Eric was convinced that she seemed to be in a good state of mind now.
"Do you, by chance, want to cook?"
Molly was checking for good quality tomato sauce as she gave a positive response.
"Which supermarket are you at now?" Eric asked.
"Well..." Molly was a bit hesitant, yet she eventually replied,"Sun Supermarket Chain at Fun District!"
"Well, look at how luck plays. I am at Fun District too. Wait a bit and I'll come see you."
"Hey, I am about to..."
The phone beeped not letting her finish what she was about to say. Molly rolled her eyes with
annoyance and thought to herself, 'How long should I wait for you? I am about to finish my shopping.'
Eric strangely smiled and Lenny witnessed it. She frowned and said,"Young Master, you seem to be
idle recently!"
'So idle that you even have time to mind Molly's business. I didn't even see you were that interested in
Becky's business when she was in the city...' Lenny thought secretly in mind.
"Really?" Eric sneered and in his calm voice he ordered,"Get out of the car now!"
Lenny got out of the car and so did Eric. He walked towards the driver's seat and spoke with fury,"I am
in no need of any help from you as of this moment. You should head back to Dragon Island and wait for
my orders there!"
Lenny frowned and said hesitantly,"Young Master..."
She was not able to continue her words when Eric with his sharp eyes and usual arrogance
said,"Lenny, I am aware that you belong to the Shadow Organization. However, may you not forget
your identity as my shadow!"
Lenny was in deep shock so she avoided eye contact with Eric and said,"Lenny won't dare at all!
"Good to hear that!" Eric replied coldly as he got into the car and drove away.
Lenny was left behind with perplexity in her eyes.
She had come here to protect Eric under the order of Eric's father Mr. Frank Long, the ruler of Dragon
Island. However, now Eric wanted her to go back to Dragon Island. She dared to disobey neither of
them.
...
Meanwhile in the supermarket, Molly, who was a bit bored with waiting finally smiled as the Maserati
stopped in front of her.
"Looks like someone just bought the whole supermarket," Eric jokingly blurted as he saw two bags full
of groceries on the ground.
He grabbed the bags and threw them in the car. Molly just shrugged her shoulders as she rolled her
eyes and got into the car.
When they were heading towards the villa at the top of the mountain, Eric noticed that Molly seemed to
be a bit different. However, he couldn't figure out what the difference was.
"Little Molly, have you finally tried your luck and won the lottery today?" Eric's eyes flipped through
Molly's as he asked her hastily.
A fake smile covered Molly's face as she said,"There is no need for me to win the lottery, for I got
Brian's card and I'm using it with great pleasure."
"How can you be certain of that?" Eric continued in a bothered voice. "I have heard that your father had
lost more than five million dollars at Grand Night Casino!"
Molly couldn't find any words as she was petrified, but soon she was able to calm herself down. Eric
was Brian's cousin after all, and no wonder how easy it was for him to know something about her.
Truthfully, it was not like what she thought.
As a matter of fact, it was the despair Eric had seen in Molly's eyes the night before that pushed him to
check on her. As a result, he found out that Steven had been gambling at the Grand Night Casino.
Steven was a type of guy who would never walk into that kind of place according to his usual habit, yet
he still went there. And to his surprise, Brian went there as well and what was even more surprising
was that Steven stepped inside the VIP room!
If this was just Brian's way of making Little Molly stay, then he wasn't buying the idea!
Molly was not that special for Brian yet. Even if she was, he could've thought of other easier ways of
keeping her, instead of going through so much trouble.
Eric had sent shadows to investigate what exactly had happened to Steven that year, yet it didn't go
well because someone deterred it. Such determent was unlikely from Brian but more like from Richie.
Somehow amusing. The happenings intrigued him so much. It seemed that many people had been
involved.
