Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 583
Patrick certainly overheard the comment, and while such an occurrence might
not have seemed out of the ordinary for someone else, it was utterly
preposterous when it came to Max. Patrick been at Max's side for so many years,
but he had never known Max to take a photo.
That one time, years ago, it was only after the editor-in-chief of the financial
report had practically begged on bended knees that Max had reluctantly agreed.
After getting Max's phone, Patrick found the whole situation rather surreal. Yet,
considering the CEO had recently made video calls, breaking the routine just this
once didn’t seem too outlandish.
In the camera lens, Max maintained his usual expression. His face was as if
perennially kissed by frost, but Patrick could sense that frost was slowly thawing.
After snapping a picture, he handed the phone back to Max.
Max scrutinized the photo, and his brows knitted together. “Does it look alright?”
Patrick nearly choked upon hearing that. If Max's face wasn’t handsome, then no
one on earth could claim the title!
How many men envied his looks, perhaps even more than they coveted his
talent! There was even a time when a Hollywood heartthrob declared that he'd
undergo plastic surgery in a heartbeat if any clinic could sculpt him into Max's
likeness.
“Sir, it's perfect as is.”
Patrick wasn't just buttering him up; as a man, he genuinely believed that face
had no bad angles, up close or from afar.
On the other end, Brielle regretted sending her message just minutes after it
went out. Wesley had mentioned that Max disliked taking photos, yet she had
made such a request, especially when he was already troubled with various
matters — it was rather thoughtless of her.
As Max didn’t reply immediately, she hurriedly began to compose another
message. [Actually, I was just kidding. You don’t have to send one; how about I
send you one of mine instead?]
But just as she finished editing the message and before she could send it, her
phone pinged. It was Max’s photo, the same frosty visage but with an obvious
attempt to accommodate the
camera.
Brielle’s fingers froze as if the gates to a sealed valley had been flung open,
letting in an endless gale. She felt the gentlest of cherishing from the world, more
precious than anything else.
At a loss for words, her lips parted, but her eyes unexpectedly reddened. She
quickly saved the photo, even creating a hidden folder for it. After all, this was
probably the second photo of Max in existence, and it deserved to be treasured.

As Max awaited her response, the lack thereof had him frowning, wondering if
the photo was indeed unflattering. Just as he moved to type, Brielle’s emoji blew
in. It was a kiss emoji. This was the first time Brielle had sent such an emoji.
Max pondered for a moment before turning to Patrick. “Patrick.”
Patrick was still reeling from the recent shock, his mind a jumble. At the sound of
his name, he braced for another bombshell. “Sir, what is it?”
“How do you take a screenshot?”
Before Max met Brielle, his phone was used solely for communication. He'd
never unlocked any other functions.

Patrick couldn't help but feel a touch
envious, witnessing two romance
novices navigate love. Even a
workaholic like Max was getting into
the game. Perhaps it was time
Patrick found a girlfriend, too.
Otherwise, all this sweetness was
going to leave him feeling lonely. The

Max sent back a kiss emoji in reply. Brielle laughed out loud upon seeing it, and
without a second thought, she took her own screenshot.
After exchanging goodnights, they both went about their evenings.

After bidding goodnight, Max dove back into his work, eager to wrap up the
overseas acquisition. He needed to catch a breath to increase the chances of
him and Brielle seeing
each other again.
