Chapter 83 An Unexpected Meeting (Part One)


    The crowd was beginning to lose its minds, pushing and shoving like a bunch of lunatics. Initially, there


    were a very few people rushing towards the star. But now, an entire legion was gathering around.


    The South Street Alley was a popr destination for shopping for assured quality products at


    affordable prices. At night, it would turn into the busiest markets of the city, which would serve delicious


    foods and attract a multitude of customers.


    Already packed during normal situations, when Park Shin Chun showed up, it was a total mess which


    no one could have controlled.


    Several vendors here were young, unemployed people, or middle-aged women who wanted to support


    their families. Soon as they heard the cry of ''Park Shin Chun'', they rushed to catch a glimpse,


    regardless of whether the news was true or not.


    At that very moment, someone was shoved towards a stall where pork chop soup was boiling on a


    stockpot. The tform could not hold his additional weight and broke, spilling the scalding soup all


    around. Unfortunately, Molly was passing by that very stall and the soup rushed right towards her.


    "Watch out!"


    She was distracted by a scream and before she could react, someone pulled her arms towards the side


    and she was saved in the nick of time.


    The entire pot of boiling soup sshed down, white steam emanating from it. Even though Molly was


    pulled away, she was still sshed slightly.


    "Oh....."


    She felt a little twitch in her ankle that turned into scorching pain.


    "Are you all right? Were you burnt?" Her rescuer''sforting enquiries were like a melody. A kind,


    warm voice, belonging to a woman.


    After a glimpse at her ankle, Molly shook her head and replied,"It''s OK, just a small scratch. Don''t worry


    about it..."


    "Okay, that is a relief!" The voice continued,"Lucky I got to you in time. You could have been seriously


    burnt if that pot had fallen down on you !"


    "Thank you! You''re okay too, right?"


    Molly looked up to make sure her rescuer herself was safe. Looking at her, she found that it was an


    elegant, beautiful woman, whose face seemed to hide her age. Her eyes wererge like a gxy,


    bright and enticing. Molly felt like she could talk just through her eyes, which were full of care and


    concern.


    "Emmm.... Madam... Thank you so much for your kind help. Were it not for you, I would have been


    badly burnt. Are you sure you''re all right?" Molly knew nothing about the woman. Based on her


    appearance, she must have been older than her.


    "Madam?" Hearing that, Shirley smiled and her eyes seemed to turn brighter. She grumbled


    frivolously,"I am still not old enough to be called madam!"


    There was a very coy anger in her voice, which was evidently not real.


    She said with a smile,"You look like you''re around 20. You can call me Aunt."


    Her face and expressions delighted Molly, and she grew fond of the woman there and then.


    "I am sorry, so sorry. Are you all right?" They were interrupted by the stall owner, who hastily came to


    apologize,ining about the star,"Why do these starse here? They make a total mess like


    there''s a flood inbound!"


    "Oh, no!" All of a sudden, Shirley cried in disappointment, looking at the congested crowd. She said


    with great pity and some anger,"I lost my opportunity again!"


    "What do you mean, Aunt?" Molly looked at her in confusion. She eventually figured it was due to the


    star showing up.


    Fixating on the congested crowd, Shirley could not help but pout. She said with great pity as though


    she had gone through an immense setback,"Park Shin Chun seems to have left. I''d been following his


    schedule for so long. It was so hard to find out that he would being here tonight and I couldn''t


    even catch a glimpse. What a pity!"


    Stunned by her words as a crazy fan girl, Molly nced at her for a while with great curiosity. When


    she was at school, she was also smitten by stars and shared their information with her ssmates. But


    this was the first time she had seen an adult like her obsessed by a star.


    "Looks like I''ll have to wait for his concert!" Shirley told herself. Then she turned towards Molly and


    said,"My name is Shirley, you can just call me Aunt Shirley. How about you?"

    "Molly!" she replied with a smile.


    "Molly... It sounds like a small bubble floating around in the summer, delicate and soft. It''s a beautiful


    name and suits you well, Little Molly!"


    Little Molly?


    It dawned on Molly that Eric was fond of calling her like this as well!


    "Oh!" Suddenly, Molly''s eyes grew wide open and she started looking around. Her face was anxious.


    "Oh, dammit!"


    "What happened, Molly?" Shirley also looked around. Park Shin Chun had left and all the fans were


    roaming around in annoyance and disappointment.


    Molly swept over the people around her. Due to their mind-lost action, she had been pushed from the


    stall selling fish balls to here, where she was almost burned by a stockpot of soup. And now, she could


    not find Eric among so many people. In a bid to catch contact with him, she wanted to make a phone


    call. However, when she stopped looking around and intended to take out her mobile phone from the


    pocket of the waitress uniform, she could not find it.


    "Where is my mobile phone?" she frowned and asked herself.


    "Did someone in the crowd take it?" Hearing Molly''s loss, Shirley also frowned slightly. She took out her


    phone. "You can use mine."


    "Thank you so much!" Taking over the phone in haste, Molly wanted to dial Eric''s number, but she did


    not remember it.


    She was upset. Eric had called her a while ago, but she hadn''t memorized his phone number.


    Seeing her so anxious, Shirley understood and asked,"Were you supposed to meet somewhere?"


    Molly''s face grew brighter. "We were supposed to meet near the fish ball stall." Once she said, she


    wanted to dash towards the stall selling fish balls.


    "I''lle with you!"


    Shirley did not think it was proper to let a girl hang out at night in such a chaotic alley. She tagged


    along. They were moving through the crowd while two indifferent men in ck suits were following


    them at a distance.


    Arriving at the stall, Molly asked the owner,"Excuse me! Do you remember the man with me? Has he


    come back?"


    "He has note back!" The owner surveyed her. He remembered the man with her was very


    handsome and he was impressed. He replied,"Not yet, ma''am!"


    His answer seemed to make her even more anxious. She had no idea whether Eric had caught that


    man or where he was. It had been a while and he hadn''te back. She was worried that he might be


    in trouble or at risk.


    Shirley looked around and saw a slim person at a distance.


    "Wait! You haven''t paid for the fish balls you ate yet!" Suddenly, the owner of the stall remembered that


    they hadn''t paid.


    Molly was so embarrassed. All of her money was stolen. She didn''t have a penny.


    Shirley, on the other hand, felt like they might be the target of that slim person. She took out a pen and


    a piece of paper, wrote down her telephone number and enveloped the paper with a hundred dor bill


    and handed it to the stall owner. She said rapidly,"This is the money for the fish balls, keep the change.


    If the manes back, please ask him to call this number!"


    Before the owner could react, Shirley ran away, pulling Molly with her.


    "Aunt Shirley, what''s the matter? Are you OK? What are we doing..."
