Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 272

“Hello?” Max’s voice, raspy with exhaustion, filtered through the phone as he rubbed the bridge. of his nose, sitting in his car. “Who’s this?”

It seemed he hadn’t saved Aubree’s number after their last call. Aubree’s nose twitched with irritation. “Mr. Dorsey, it’s Aubree.”

Max’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. He’d just picked up a group of executives from overseas at the airport and had meetings lined up every day. His schedule was packed, and he hadn’t planned on getting involved with Brielle again.

But now. Brielle’s friend was on the line.

His fingers tugged at the tie around his neck, as if loosening it would make breathing easier, would soothe the restlessness within him. “What’s up?” He managed to keep his tone controlled, not too eager.

Aubree snorted sarcastically as she sat down on a nearby chair. “I thought you were different from Andrew, Mr. Dorsey. Guess I was wrong.”

“Aubree, cut to the chase. Don’t beat around the bush.”

“Bri’s in the hospital.”

Max straightened up instantly. Brielle had just left the hospital. How could she be….

But then he remembered the lies she had told and the bubbling emotions in his eyes cooled. “So?”

The casualness in his voice made Aubree pause, then she laughed bitterly. She wondered why she was even calling Max. If he could be friends with someone like Andrew, what kind of man could Max be? Brielle had been blinded by illusions before.
