Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 353

Brielle almost burst into laughter at the sheer audacity of Spencer’s confidence. Stripping away the years of familiarity, what did Spencer have to his name except the legacy of the Dorsey family?

“We’ve been putting in so much overtime lately. What’s the harm in a little late–night snack?”

“Yeah, she’s been on leave for so many days. We’ve all had to pick up the slack.”

It dawned on Brielle that there was more to leadership than just strength; it was about managing people. Your power was measured by how many were willing to serve you.

Brielle’s smile grew more generous. “No worries. Just send me the bill afterward.” With that. she strode off.
