Chapter 612 Getting A Job (Part Three)


    Brian quietly walked in the room with the sound of his footsteps muffled by the thick carpet. He stood


    by the bed Molly was sleeping in and gazed at her face in the dim light by the wallmp. He leaned


    over to smooth over her knitted brows. He smiled at this bitterly and sat next to her just staring at her


    face. He was so near her yet their hearts were so distanced from one another.


    Brian didn''t know how long he stayed there but he eventually left. Before he did, he saw a bunch of


    newspapers on the bedside table with red marks scribbled all over. He was smiling as he walked out of


    the room.


    The sun rose to wee the morning.


    Molly got up very early in order to look for a job. She quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth,


    and changed her clothes. She stuffed the newspapers in her bag and went downstairs. When she


    passed the dining room, she was surprised to see Brian was having breakfast there but she ignored


    him and just continued walking ncing only slightly.


    "Don''t you have manners?" Brian said coldly.


    Molly paused, took a deep breath, and turned her head, "I have to go get a job so I''m not having


    breakfast here. Enjoy, though," she said simply. Then she turned around and left.


    At that moment, Lisa was justing out of the kitchen with a te of steamed buns in hand. She saw


    the whole thing happen. She slowly ced the te on the dining table and avoided Brian''s gaze,


    sighing all the while.


    "You don''t have to cook so much," Brian said tly, "Lucy must be expecting you and John to go there


    earlier. You can let John drive you."


    "Okay," Lucy didn''t see herself as an outsider in this vi at that moment. She knew Brian too well.


    Brian finished eating, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and left. As Tony drove by, he passed by Molly


    who seemed to be in a hurry. The vi was in a secluded, private road that taxis didn''t pass through.


    "Mr. Brian, aren''t we going to offer Mrs. Molly Long a ride?" Tony offered.


    Brian felt his heart twist at the sight of Molly walking along the road in a haste, "Let her be," he said


    coldly.


    The car passed Molly and as she watched the car disappear, she slowed down her steps. She tried to


    convince herself that it was okay but she couldn''t deny that it stung.


    Molly pressed her lips tightly and stiffened her grip on her bag. She had to take a few deep breaths to


    calm herself down before she continued walking down the mountain.


    When Molly arrived at the interview - there were tons of people milling around filling out forms. So


    many people had apparently applied because the troupe that was hiring was famous and offering good


    compensation - higher than the regr sry for assistants. Since she had worked as Spark''s


    assistant for a couple of years, she had already grown ustomed to this industry.


    "Fill out the form first," The recruiter said as he handed Molly a piece of paper. Molly did as she was


    told and handed it back to the recruiter. She quickly nced at the form and hastily said, "Just wait


    over there. We''ll call you for your interview,"


    Molly sat at the corner as she always did, she liked sitting at the corner because she felt safest here.


    Time flew by and soon it was almost noon. There were three people before Molly and about twenty


    more after her. Molly started to lose her hope because so many people werepeting against her.


    She was supposed to add her work experience as Spark''s assistant in her resume on the form she


    filled out but she gave it up.


    "Molly Xia!"


    Molly hastily stood up when she heard her name and promptly walked towards the interview room.


    There was a panel of interviewees—some looking rxed and some looking bored. After waiting for so


    long, she started to get anxious.

    But it was quick and easy - she came out of the room just five minutester. She didn''t expect that the


    interview would be so simple. She just took a quiz about interpersonal rtionships and then they


    asked her two questions about being an assistant for the troupe and then they told her she was hired.


    When she turned back to the look at the door, the next person passed her by and sneered at her


    consequently walking extra confidently into the room.


    It wasn''t until a few momentster that Molly realized that she just got a job. She was so ted that as


    soon as she left the building, she fished her cell phone from her bag and gave Ximena a call. She


    wanted to share her good news!


    From behind the ss window, someone was standing till gazing at Molly.


    Someone knocked on the door and Brian let them in.


    "Mr. Brian, we''ve hired Miss Xia as you''ve ordered," the head of the troupe said politely, an easy smile


    on his face. This Brian Long was going to fund the troupe for the next five years on the condition that


    they hired this Molly Xia. The troupe didn''t expect too much for an assistant and it seemed like Molly


    waspetent enough so it was no trouble at all to hire her.


    "Hmm,"


    Brian answered as he turned around, "Don''t tell her about me." He said this in a way that made sure


    that they wouldn''t go back on their word. Then he left, brushing his shoulders lightly with the head of


    the troupe. He stood in shock until Brian left - he couldn''t help but shudder at him.


    Brian left the building too and got in the car. "I''ve told Harrow to take care of this whole thing with the


    troupe. As you''ve ordered, it''s going to be under the name of my young master."


    ***


    Molly chatted with Ximena. Hearing her voice made Molly feel calmer and more rxed, "Ximena, if


    you evere by to A City, I''m going to make you try the best snacks here!"


    "Okay!" Ximena answered excitedly but her face looked the opposite. She was standing in front of the


    window and looking out as Aaron and Vivi were having coffee on the patio, talking andughing. Molly


    sensed she wasn''t listening already so she just said, confused, "Well, um, it''s okay."


    "Hmm," Molly said, "Ximena, I''ll be strong and hold on. You should too."


    Despite the hurt Ximena was feeling, she said with a light smile, "Don''t worry, I''ve never given up."


    They said goodbye and hung up the phone. Standing under the clear, blue sky; Molly stretched her


    arms, closed her eyes, and took deep breaths as she relished the sunlight. She thought, ''I''ve lost to


    Brian, so what? I am who I am, I''m Molly Xia, and I will survive anything life throws at me. Without you,


    I''d still be happy no matter what it costs.''


    She opened her eyes squinting at the sunlight. She looked at the street where people were hustling


    and bustling. Her heart might have been imprisoned but her mind wasn''t. ''One day, I''ll get what I want


    on my own without anyone''s help, one day!'' she promised herself.


    With a hopeful smile pasted on her face, she started to walk without no clear destination in mind—she


    was going to spend the rest of her day however she wanted to.


    A figure walked out from behind a flower bed. With a cruel and gloomy smile, the person followed Molly


    into the crowd.
