Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 425

“Mr. Spencer, I really can’t do it,” she whispered, her voice laced with a fear she couldn’t disguise.

Having been around the block at the company, she knew that Brielle had some serious moxie. Brielle was brazen enough to stand up to Spencer and even gave Mr. Ryan a piece of her mind in front of everyone. No one was spared her boldness.

Sydney was just a regular Joe in the company, a nobody. Crossing someone like Spencer was akin to signing your own death warrant without even knowing it. Although because of last night’s incident, her resentment towards Brielle simmered beneath the surface.

Spencer’s eyebrow arched, his whole demeanor screaming devil–may–care. He had always sailed through life on easy street, except for the occasional setbacks with Brielle. “You have a boyfriend, don’t you?” he prodded with a wry grin.

Sydney’s face turned as pale as a ghost. Of course, she had a boyfriend, and they were on the verge of discussing their wedding bells. But she couldn’t bring herself to reveal the previous night’s events to him; after all, they were both regular folks.

Spencer leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a seductive whisper, “The paycheck from Dorsey International isn’t too shabby, but if you’re looking to buy a house on your own, it’s like climbing Everest. Help me out, though, and things change. Look, one romp with me, and I’ve already thrown ten mil your way. Keep me happy, and who knows how much more you’ll pocket.”

Sydney’s gaze dropped, tasting the bitterness in her mouth. Harsh as Spencer’s words were, they were steeped in truth.

Beaconsfield was prime real estate, and with both her and her boyfriend’s salaries, they’d be scrimping and saving for ages just to make a down payment. But Spencer could cover that with a mere flick of his wrist.

She had to admit that her moral compass was spinning out of control, which was why she hadn’t thrown his despised check back in his face last night.
