Chapter 216

Brielle’s eyebrow arch was nonchalant, untouched by the turmoil around her.

Spencer felt as if his pride was being trampled underfoot, the gods themselves seemed to conspire with Brielle. Why, at this crucial moment, did she have to be in the elevator?

His eyes narrowed as he pondered. Had Brielle been at the soiree last night? And she had come down from the fourth floor. Wasn’t Max the only one living on the fourth floor?

This suspicion was fleeting, as the surrounding chatter became unbearable, and Spencer beat a hasty retreat.

The onlookers shared his curiosity as they glanced at Brielle, but she simply looked up at Max with ease. “Mr. Dorsey, about my business trip, will you approve it?” she inquired.

Max’s eyelashes fluttered, and he hummed an affirmative.

Brielle smirked. Seeing that the people outside had no intention of coming in, she closed the elevator.

As soon as it shut, she kept her distance from Max. After all, having just woken up and been dragged out for an passionate lovemaking, she was wary of his stamina.

Max leaned in closer, noticing her awkward stance. “Feeling uncomfortable?”

Her cheeks flushed. When the elevator reached the ground floor, she hurried out. But after a few steps, she felt a painful tug in her private area and slowed down.

Max intended to follow, but Sammuel, who had been waiting on the ground floor, approached him. “Mr. Dorsey, how was your evening?” Sammuel asked, his tone suggesting he had figured out the connection between Max and Brielle. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed her access or had security assist with unlocking the door.
