Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 704

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.”

Annie stood beside them, her gaze shifting back and forth in confusion. She was genuinely puzzled. Why had these two suddenly made up?

After delivering the files, she had no reason to stay, so she tactfully made her exit. As she stepped outside Pearl Estate, her mind was still trying to unravel the mystery. She was so lost in thought that she nearly tripped over her own feet.

Why were they so fickle? Weren’t they at odds just yesterday? Relationships were far too complex, she mused. It seemed she had a lot more to learn.
