Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 609 No Right Or Wrong In Love (Part Two)

She looked at her left arm again, making her quiver with fear and rage. She didn't know what to believe - if Brian was just bluffing her or if he really was just teaching Molly a lesson. But it was a toxic drug. How could he have the heart to do that to her?

Molly shrank to the ground and started sobbing. 'How can he do this to me? How?' she asked in her mind again and again.

At the Central Gallery.

Lucy was currently at the pinnacle of her career as a modernist artist. Her creativity earned her media attention and a couple of loyal followers. This was going to be her first ever large exhibition that wasn't sponsored by Brian.

"Sorry, the gallery isn't open yet," Eve, Lucy's assistant, said. Then she realized that the door was closed. "How did you get in?" she hastily asked.

Lucy turned around to find a man leaning against the door. He was looking at her - his hair was curly and he was wearing a track suit. "Let him in, Eve. He's a friend of mine," Lucy said with a smile.

"Okay," Eve answered and continued working.

Lucy walked over and surveyed him up and down before curling her brows and quipping "Wow, bold of you to show up here. Aren't you scared they might see you?"

"Why would I be scared?" the man giggled, "Even you're not scared."

Lucy shrugged and invited him into her make-shift office. "Coffee?" Lucy offered.

"I'll have whatever you're having," the man said. He hugged Lucy from behind and started rubbing his nose against her neck. Lucy was wearing a dress that dropped down to her shoulders, exposing her neck and making it easy for the man. He buried his head in her body taking in her fragrance - he was frankly turned on by her chest that was slightly exposed.

"Stop it. We're at the gallery," Lucy struggled. The man let go of her, turned her around, and jolted her body against the table.

He kissed every part of her body. Lucy was instantly aroused. The man sensed it and said, "I guess you like it, huh? You Siren. How long has it been since we had really good sex?"

"Jeff, stop," Lucy said seductively, "You didn't just come here to sleep with me, did you?"

"No, I didn't," Jeff laughed while as he slid a tongue further down her neck "But right now, I only came here for you."

He winked as Lucy wrapped her arms around his neck.

And so they slept together and they were both satisfied after. "Only you can make me so high," Jeff sighed. He put his clothes back on and leaned over to kiss Lucy between her eye brows, the tip of her nose, and then finally her lips. "When things are done, come with me to Dragon Island, okay?" he said.

Lucy was elated but she acted coyly, "I bet you've said that to hundreds of women already."

"Yes, how do you know?"

"You..."

"I'm just joking," Jeff chuckled and touched her lips again with his mouth before adding, "No one else is as good as you - worker in the office and whore in the bedroom."

"Jeff!" Lucy jokingly pushed him aside as Jeff laughed heartily. She said, "I think Brian's just trying to get back at Molly nowadays, so I don't think you can use her against him anymore."

"Really?" Jeff frowned and asked, "Are you sure he isn't just faking?"

Lucy ran her fingers through her hair and answered, "I don't think so. I think it's for real. Because if he's just faking, then he should just be doing it in public. Why else would he act like that even in the villa? I mean, only few people are allowed in there." Lucy knew for a fact that no one could come near the villa within a ten-meter radius unless Brian willed anyone to do so.

Jeff took out a stick of cigarette and lit it. Lucy snatched the cigarette out of his hand before he could even take a puff. She warned him, "No smoking here."

"You won't break the rule even for me?" Jeff quipped. But Lucy's glare made him back off. He laughed easily and continued, "Brian and Eric must think that Becky went to the restaurant that day to set Addison up, not to meet us. It was typical Brian to send Addison away like that." Lowering his head, Jeff added, "Keep an eye on the villa. I'll decide our next step after I find out what the situation is at the Island."

Lucy knew that he was about to leave again and she would just miss him like crazy. To comfort her, Jeff gave her a long and passionate kiss, "Lucy, this is our make-it-or-break-it moment. You know what I want. I don't want to be restricted to the National Congress. I want to become the ruler of Dragon Island and you know that," Lucy nodded, then he continued, "All those years you pretend to like Brian, so you could spy on him. It's all for this, okay?"

"Jeff," Lucy frowned, "I don't know why but I'm worried. I just can't shake off the feeling that something's going to happen." She knew Brian. That was why she was iffy about things because if things go wrong, they would be in deep trouble.

"We'll make it either way," Jeff said, "We've been planning for this for years. We won't fail. Nothing will go wrong."

Lucy nodded, still worried even as she watched Jeff leave.

The moment Jeff stepped out of the gallery, he followed the path near the warehouse and climbed over the wall and got in the car that was driving by. The whole while he was cautiously watching his surroundings to see if anyone was around.

"Master," Forrest said, "Your father asked you to call him back."

"Okay," Jeff said as he dialed his father's number. When his father answered, Jeff informed him of what Lucy had just told him.

"Let's see how things will unfold in the villa before making our next move," the voice was sure and strong, "Are you in love with Lucy?"

He had suspected this for the longest time.

Jeff curled his lips and answered coldly, "I'm just using her."

"Good. Keep everything under control." NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Then they hung up. The car was still speeding through the highway. Jeff looked out of the window where the streets were lined with blooming locust trees. The white flowers were beautiful at this time of the year.

'This time, failure is not an option.' Jeff determined deep down.
