Master of his heart

Chapter 100
As Brielle walked into the department, all eyes swung her way—word had spread
like wildfire that Emily had been let go, but what no one knew was the drama that
had just unfolded downstairs.
She grabbed the file handed to her and scanned it, finding it detailed a new
project-an investment evaluation for a company named Alpha. She thought she
must have read it wrong, and flipped through the thick stack of papers again.
It was indeed Alpha.
Though Dorsey International had long branched out into diverse operations with
numerous businesses, this was their first foray into internet companies.
Rubbing her temples, she had a hunch that this move wasn’t Max’s brainchild.
Probably, because of the scandal that had leaked about the building, the board
was panicking, fearing Max’s scrutiny, and was eager to show some results.
In the afternoon, she was summoned to a meeting on the top floor. Stepping out
of the elevator, she overheard some gossip.
“Didn’t the media just catch Ms. Alivia? When did she come back from abroad?”
“Did you notice the rosary on her wrist? It's identical to the president's. They must
be a set.”
“I heard Mr. Dorsey personally visited Ms. Alivia’s research institute. Seems like
he’s interested in investing in a project she’s involved with.”
“Never thought Mr. Dorsey was the type to splurge for a lady love.”
“Well, you've got to consider who she is. Ms. Alivia is top-notch in every way, and
they've been childhood sweethearts.”

The buzz grew louder and more animated.
Max had never been one for tabloid fodder. His interviews in the financial papers
were terse and to the point. Celebrities looking to latch onto his success had no
inroad, and within the social circles of Beaconsfield, one couldn't even snag his
contact information.
Brielle, who rarely paid heed to celebrity news, couldn’t help but stealthily check
her phone. There was no mention of Max, just a side shot of Alivia brushing her
hair aside, revealing that telltale string of
beads.
Phrases like “golden couple” and “match made in heaven” were thrown around
with abandon. She pocketed her phone, struggling to maintain composure, and
took her seat.
Max was absent, and the directors’ voices were louder than usual.
Especially Ryan, who should have been ousted, had wormed his way back in
while Max was away.
And with Max’s two other brothers on the board, the atmosphere was tense.
However, Ryan, shameless as ever, had pushed this new project
to the forefront.
“Alpha has been around for years. Their CEO approached me privately last night,
inquiring about investment from Dorsey International. I've reviewed the data and
believe this to be a promising endeavor.”
Ryan's audacity knew no bounds. Even as others around the table scowled, he
dropped Michael's name to silence any dissent.
“The CEO of Alpha and I go way back. I promised Dad that if we could triple the
profits this time, he'd let me return. So I hope everyone will
cooperate.”

Ryan went on to outline Alpha’s potential, making it clear that this project was
non-negotiable.
Brielle sat back and laughed softly. The room was silent, making her laughter
stand out all the more.
The first to speak was William, pushing up his classic glasses, “What are your
thoughts, Brielle?”

In her three years at Dorsey International, Brielle had never heard a bad word
about William. He always played the peacemaker, offending no one, with barely
passable performance that left no room for criticism.
Like now, while others had shown their displeasure with Ryan, William's face was
all seriousness, as if genuinely considering Ryan's spiel.
Now he’d passed the buck to Brielle, letting her be the one to stick her neck out.
