Eric's cold eyes melted upon seeing Molly and then Brian. There were half-made heads all over the
yard which showed that Brian attempted many times to please her. It was probably the first time Brian
failed so many times at the same thing.
The usually arrogant and demanding Brian had gone pale after so many failed attempts.
Eric sneered to himself, but didn't feel relived at all. He had some growing concerns. Molly kept shaking
her head as Brian was making a new head for the snowman. Eric rolled his eyes upward, drew his
sight away from them and turned around to walk out of the room.
"Mr. Eric Long?" Harrow asked with a concerned look.
"Take care of the remaining matter..."
Eric demanded as he was out of the room. Harrow and Tony both exchanged a confused look. They
don't know what Eric, who always wore a wicked smile irrespective of the situation, was now busy
thinking.
Eric then headed straight to the yard. He grinned when he saw Brian was still occupied trying to make
a perfect snowman under Molly's direction. "Well, it's getting pretty late now... Brian, you are really in
the mood," Eric added in a soft voice.
Brian knew his brother was out as Eric walked into the yard. He never cared about what others thought
of him and ignored the pointless teasing. "There are only three hours before daybreak. Aren't you
worried Tony and Harrow couldn't find what I wanted?" asked Brian inquisitively.
This now meant that he would use his own method to draw out what he wanted from Dragon Island's
database, if both of them failed.
"In this case, you really need to replace the duo with people who are more capable and smart," Eric
said with an innocent look as he gazed at Molly. "Little Molly, why do you think Brian could make a
perfect snowman head. You should have come to me in the first place instead of wasting time with
Brian here," he teased Molly.
Molly looked at Eric with confusion. Unable to respond, she then wrote on the snow with her finger
instead,"Are you a ghost?"
Brian chuckled to himself upon hearing Eric's snide offer. Eric's mouth twitched as he spoke,"I don't
blame you for not caring about me. But now you go ahead and make fun of me while saying I am a
ghost! If it weren't for Brian, I would have not appeared in the middle of night this way..."
Molly looked at Brian with a cold expression and pointed at the head of the snowman to Eric with her
lips all curved.
Eric shot Brian a side-glance and said,"I must be better than him, that must be certain."
Brian's face hardened upon hearing Eric. It's not because what Eric just said, but the radiant smile on
Molly's face as she looked at Eric. Brian had come such a long way to lift her mood and make her
happy, he even helped her make a snowman. And all he got was the dissatisfied look Molly gave. Eric
had been here for a few minutes and Molly smiled happily at him.
The more Brian thought about it, the more furious he grew. He was just about to toss the snow ball
from his hands when Eric teased,"Brian, really? You want to fight with me? Is that what this aggression
is about?"
As his eyes grew darker, Brian gave Eric a contemptuous glance and watched Molly bite her lips and
blink nervously. "Okay, then let's just compete to see who makes the best head for the snowman," he
said in a cold voice.
Eric shrugged as he smiled at Molly,"Okay, Little Molly can be the judge. As the snowman is hers, she
alone will decide which head is better."
Molly nodded as she moved her lips into a smile. She lifted her eyebrows towards Eric to encourage
him in a subtle manner while the neglected Brian pulled a long face. When she noticed that, Molly stuck
out her tongue and wrote in the snow to lighten the moment,"You can make a perfect head for my
snowman, right?"
Brian couldn't help grinning when he read what she inscribed into the wet, cold snow.
Eric looked at his brother, holding back his laughter. Soon after the competition started. The two
worked on the snow rigorously to ensure they make a perfect snowman's head. But no one would
believe this was happening unless they saw it for themselves. One was the boss of XK Intelligence
Agency and the other competitor was the future boss of Dragon Island. They had the power over the
life and death of over millions. But now they tried their best to make a worthless girl laugh.
While Eric and Brian were busy competing against one another, Molly built yet another headless
snowman. The yard was a sight to behold. When both of them were done, she matched the heads with
each body and asked Brian to find some decorative material in the kitchen to make eyes and noses for
the snowmen. Molly then took off her scarf to put it on one of the snowmen and enjoyed what she had
made with a bright smile. When she noticed the neck of another snowman was empty, Molly ran inside
the mansion and took one of Brian's ties. And then it was put around the neglected snowman.
Molly beamed at her masterpiece with pride, soon after her smile disappeared to be replaced by a
morose frown. She gestured she had to make a call to indicate to Brian that she wanted a phone.
Brian watched Molly and didn't miss a word of what she acted out. He took out of his phone and
handed it to Molly. She then took a picture of the snowmen and sent it to her own phone. She shrugged
and gestured sleeping to Brian after returning his phone.
