Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1012

Brielle needed a break from her daily grind, and after some time off, she felt a lot more at ease. Her last stop was at DreamTech Designs, where she bumped into Patrick.

Patrick, as dedicated as ever since their days in Beaconsfield, seemed even quieter now.

Max's departure had left a mark on many.

"Ms. Brielle."

Patrick greeted her respectfully, as always.

"Just dropping by, didn't mean to interrupt."

He nodded and turned to get back to work, but Brielle stopped him.

"That number Max left behind, do you know anything about his underground connections?"

Patrick nodded first, then hesitated.

"As the CEO's assistant, I've handled loads of paperwork over the years. Sometimes, I didn't even realize some documents were for DreamTech Designs. So, regarding his secret dealings, I only had a vague idea that he was a force to be reckoned with. He never seemed to worry about the Dorsey family, but I'm not exactly in the know about the details."

"Patrick, did Max ever just disappear suddenly and then show up after a while?"

"Ms. Brielle, that was pretty standard for him. As his assistant, it was my job to manage Dorsey International and Dream Tech Designs when he was gone. Where he went wasn't my business."
