Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 704

Feeling completely at ease, Brielle took the lunchbox from Annie’s hands.

“Thanks, you’re a lifesaver.”

Annie nodded at her and handed over some documents to Max. “These are the files for the upcoming meeting.”

Max grabbed the documents and noticed Brielle holding the lunchbox. He stood up, stepped past Annie, and took the lunchbox from her. “Is it heavy?”

Brielle felt a sweet thrill of satisfaction as the corners of her mouth turned up in a smile. “You go ahead and have your meeting, and I’ll set this up.”
