Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 587
The folding dagger in his hand snapped back into its sheath as a smile bloomed
across his face. “Ms. Haywood, do you really think my day will come and I'll
become a superstar?”
Brielle stopped in her tracks and turned to face him, her gaze resolute. “I don’t
know, but I'm
going to try.”
His three—hundredth mission in life had again ended in failure. Ricardo looked
down, a hint of amusement flickering in his eyes. “Hmm, I believe you, Ms.
Haywood.”
Brielle offered him a small smile in return. “You should smile more, you know.
When I first noticed you, your demeanor was elegant, yes, but too hollow. It felt
like there was no soul. You know Max, the CEO of Dorsey International, right?
You remind me of him.”
He's perfect, so perfect it lacked any warmth of life.
“How could I compare myself to someone of Mr. Dorsey's stature.”
Unbeknownst to Brielle, she had just been dancing on death's doorstep. She
turned and continued walking forward, her tone lighthearted. “There will be a
chance. Everyone will know your name, they will like you, and they will idolize
you.”
Despite being cloaked in shadows herself, she still hoped to bring a sliver of light
to others. Brielle, what an odd character.
“Ms. Haywood, we're here.” Ricardo pointed ahead to a modest bungalow that,
sure enough, was plastered with ads all around, with garbage even spilling out at
the entrance.
A few older ladies were sitting on the side of the alley, rolling their eyes skyward
at the sight of Brielle.
“Look at that, such a young girl getting into the game. Are jobs that hard to find
out there?”
“Keep it down, will ya? I bet this slut's here to steal our business.”
“She must be looking for that drunk inside, huh?”
Brielle frowned, momentarily confused by their words.
Ricardo stood behind her, casting a glance at the ladies. Their faces stiffened,
turning pale with fear, and they quickly lowered their heads, falling silent. That
look he gave them was terrifying as if the Grim Reaper himself had fixed his gaze
upon them. They felt like reaching up and checking if their heads were still
attached to their necks.
Brielle ignored them and knocked on the door. A hoarse voice came from inside.
“It's open. Come on in. The delivery sure is slow today!”
Brielle pushed the door open, half-expecting to find a mess to match the alley,
but the inside was surprisingly tidy.
There was a small bed, a window that framed the sky, and an array of scripts
scattered across

the bedding.
John's face was buried in a beard, and on the table were several opened bottles
of the strongest kind of whiskeya.
When he spotted two strangers enter, his forehead furrowed. “You folks must
have the wrong place?”
Ricardo pulled up a chair for Brielle, who nodded her thanks and then settled
down slowly. “Mr. John, we've come to see you. I hear you've been looking for
investors?”
John sized up Brielle from head to toe. Her clothes weren't high-end, but they
looked effortlessly comfortable on her. The clarity in her eyes, like glass dipped in
water, was oddly persuasive.
“Yes, but no one’s willing to invest.”
Brielle’s gaze caught a wedding photo on the wall, the bride’s face marred by
several slashes from a knife, a sight that made one’s heart skip a beat. The
hatred John held for the woman was evident.
“Mr. John, I've seen the movie you directed before. It was good. But I want to
know about the most controversial thing you've been criticized for. Did you really
commit domestic violence and cheat?”
If John’s character were truly despicable, she would have never chosen to work
with such a man. A person devoid of morals could at any time become a
backstabbing blade to their partner.
