Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 538

If she complained of a stomach ache, claiming she wasn’t feeling well, Max would never leave her to suffer alone. And she made sure to emphasize New Year’s Eve, which would naturally remind him that she was all by herself.

Brielle stood quietly waiting for his text, and sure enough, within three minutes, a message popped up. [Why aren’t you eating?]

He was finally willing to respond.

When Brielle first got her hooks into him, she did it by being shameless. She had definitely messed up tonight, and if you messed up, you owned up to it and sweet–talked your way back into favor.

Men and women were the same in that regard.

[Yes, I deserve it. Don’t be mad, okay? Stellar Stage Entertainment is tough to handle, but I’ve got you, right? With Mr. Dorsey on my side, how could I not succeed?] A little flattery could extinguish even the greatest of rages.

[Cut the crap.]

Staring at the message, Brielle paused for a few seconds. Why did it feel like their roles had been reversed? Max was often easy to appease, but sometimes, he could be quite the challenge.

[I came looking for you, which means the scarf I’m knitting will have to wait. I could’ve finished it tonight, watching the fireworks outside, snuggled up in your arms. How perfect would that have been?]

After sending the message, she realized how brazen she had been when she first started hanging around Max.
