Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1355

Emma was caught off guard; the voice that greeted her wasn't Brielle's as she'd expected but a man's.

Pushing the door open, she stepped in to find Dustin turning around in his swivel chair.

Her whole body tensed at the sight of him.

Dustin raised an eyebrow slightly, acknowledging her presence.

Emma quickly composed herself, subtly hiding the application form behind her back. The form detailed her pregnancy, and she couldn't help but worry about his reaction if he saw it.

"Mr. Lynch, where's Mr. Haywood?" she asked, curious about his presence.

Dustin leaned back, his gaze slowly scanning her. "What do you need from Bree?"

Bree? So informal?

Emma momentarily wondered about the nature of his relationship with Brielle but reminded herself it was none of her business. She had settled into her life in Beaconsfield, and things were looking up. Besides, if Mr. Haywood and Dustin were indeed close, it would only be to Dustin's credit, given how impressive Brielle was.
