Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 503

Brielle’s cheeks burned with a rush of heat as she hastily snatched the box from the pile.

“I got this one. You guys take care of the rest,” she said, cutting off any potential response from the others as she quickly whisked the box away to the master bedroom.

With the door securely locked behind her, the feverish tension that had gripped her began to dissipate as if she had narrowly escaped disaster. Tentatively, she touched her still–flushed cheeks, alarmed by their heat.

In a flurry, she pulled out the contents of the box–a few assorted items from the alleyway market–and carefully stowed them into her bedside drawer.

A fresh wave of heat colored Brielle’s face as she made sure there were no other bizarre surprises within the box. Breathing a sigh of relief, she felt as if she had narrowly avoided at social catastrophe in front of so many.
