Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 601

Brielle stepped into Stellar Stage Entertainment and settled into her office before dialing the traffic police to inquire about the specifics of last night’s car accident. As a person involved, she had already been questioned just before she fell asleep the previous night.

One driver had been drinking, the other high on drugs. Both were in a daze. That was the answer from the police and all they could find out for now. She had suspected as much from the beginning and wasn’t surprised by the revelation.

Come evening, Aubree popped into her office to borrow a coat. Her cheeks were flushed from the cold. It had indeed gotten chillier, and after a bracing swim in icy waters the day before, Brielle felt her resistance to the cold had significantly diminished. With several coats on standby in her office, she handed over her favorite one to Aubree. “I told you to layer up when we left your place.”

As Aubree headed out, she turned back with a smug grin. “My drama instructor praised me again today, but keeping up with all these expressions is exhausting. I feel like my face is going to freeze from all that smile. Anyway, Bri, I’m heading home. You’ll be back at Premier Palace tonight, right? I won’t wait up.”

Brielle nodded. She had to work late. She was working overtime until nine in the evening. Dragging her weary body out of Stellar Stage Entertainment, she into Ricardo in the elevator.

Ricardo’s eyes were clear as crystal, pure and innocent. He stood in the elevator, and when he saw Brielle, a beautiful light flickered in his gaze. “Ms. Haywood.”

“Ricardo? Why are you still here so late?”

A shade of embarrassment colored Ricardo’s cheeks. “John is really pushing me on this brother role. I’ve met his standards with a few scenes, but he insists I can do better. We’re close to shooting, and I’ve got to give it my all. By the way, I saw Aubree earlier; her acting is really coming along.”

He said this with a smile, reflecting off the elevator’s mirrored walls. “Ms. Haywood, do you think Aubree and I will really make it?”
