Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 422

Brielle’s smile faltered slightly. Even though she knew it wasn’t the truth, being so

The girls were still chattering about Max and Alivia, but Brielle had already stood up and left.

Back in her office, she sat in her chair, zoning out, when her phone buzzed with a text from Spencer. [You spent another night at the Premier Palace. Can’t stay away from men for even a second, can you?]
