Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1279

It was already 10 p.m.

Tonight, Brielle and King had shared a cozy dinner and then settled down on the couch together. King's insistence on not going to work wasn't just talk.

After dinner, he picked up a book, using her lap as a pillow, and started reading with genuine interest. Meanwhile, Brielle, sitting upright, was diligently typing away on her laptop. The weight of his head on her lap wasn't a bother; she actually cherished their closeness. The documents she was reviewing were all about Stellar Stage Entertainment. She'd spent the entire afternoon going through them, and it was clear that the company was running smoothly. Their plans for the upcoming year were so well laid out that there seemed little for her to do.

Brielle couldn't help but be puzzled. If Stellar Stage Entertainment hadn't been such a legit operation, she might have thought she'd walked into some sort of scam. But the company was above board, so she figured she'd just hit a stroke of incredible luck this year. Feeling restless, King shifted his head on her lap and put down his book to gaze at her. Brielle's expression intentionally cooled, her lips pursing slightly.
