Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 255

Patrick thought he was hearing things. Just a minute ago, Max had been as nonchalant as ever. “I saw Ms. Brielle with red–rimmed eyes running out. She must have been crying.”

Max’s fingers froze around the spoon, his heart feeling like it had been pricked with a needle. He stared at the bowl of soup in front of him, wondering if Brielle had slipped something into it.

Had Ryan instructed her to do so, and she complied, all for Spencer’s sake? Would she do anything for Spencer? The realization made him distinctly uncomfortable, and his stomach clenched in response..

She should’ve left immediately, but her mind was in turmoil, and she needed a moment to calm her thoughts.

The phone kept ringing, as if it wouldn’t stop until she answered. Her body moved slowly, like a piece of rusted machinery, as she pulled out her phone and saw Patrick’s name on the screen.
