Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 363

Max slouched in his high–rise office chair; his brow furrowed as he absorbed Patrick’s news about the increasing number of whistleblowing letters. He snapped his laptop shut. “Push back the overseas meeting.” It was time to pay a visit to Brielle at Pearl Estate.

Patrick, knowing what was on Max’s mind, followed suit.

They had just reached the exclusive parking garage via the private elevator when Max was halted in his tracks. Sarah stood before him, her eyes wide with trepidation and rimmed with red. “Mr. Dorsey.”

There’s been discontent ever since she was promoted, and… and she’s been involved in inappropriate relationships! Many in the department are her… her bed partners!”

Seeing Max’s stoic reaction, Sarah, feeling like a small fry, thought she needed to up the ante. Her next words halted Max in his tracks. And Patrick, standing behind him, furrowed his brow deeply.
