Master of his heart

Chapter 106
Alivia managed to keep her emotions in check as she responded, “Alright, I'll
keep a close eye out for you. My friend trusts me implicitly, since I offered some
solid advice during the initial development of the software. He's willing to wait for
your offer.”
Max rubbed his temples wearily, “If another company comes in with a decent
proposal, tell him not to worry about Dorsey International.”
Alivia thought she had misheard. Reflexively, she blurted out, “What?” Was he
implying that he wasn't interested in her friend's project?
Impossible. With so many venture capital firms on Wall Street drooling over this
financing opportunity, who wouldn't want in? Creating at billion-dollar value in
less than six months was an extraordinary feat in
any industry.
The conference room door swung open, and Patrick stepped in. “Sir, your tickets
are all set.”
Max nodded and rose slowly from his seat. “There’s something in the report I'm
not too thrilled about-he’s relinquished control of his company.”
Following behind him, Alivia wondered if her friend’s willingness to give up control
wasn't a positive thing. With Dorsey International investing, wouldn't that give
them majority control? Wouldn't the company’s future. then be at the discretion of
Dorsey International, and wasn't that something Max should be pleased about?
“Max.” She couldn't help but reach out and tug at his sleeve. “This developer and
I have a great relationship. Even if you're not planning to invest, couldn’t you at
least meet him? Maybe if you heard his thoughts in person, you might change
your mind.”
She didn’t want to miss this chance to forge a closer connection with Max, and
what she hadn't told him was that she also had shares in the
company. If Dorsey International invested, it would only bind therm closer
together. She wanted to weave herself into every aspect of Max's life.
“Max, consider it a favor for me.”
They had grown up together, and her brother was close to him as well. Max
couldn’t possibly refuse. That was her confidence.
Indeed, Max turned to Patrick, inquiring about his schedule for the coming month.
Patrick, ever diligent, pulled out a calendar. “There’s a meeting right after we
land, and it's going to be busy till the start of next month.”
Max nodded, reclaiming his sleeve. “I'll come back on the third of next. month.”
A smile spread across Alivia’s face. “Great, I'll take you for a tour of the research
institute then. And hey, you reinstalled WhatsApp, right? You should add me. My
brother and the others will definitely want to add
you too.”
“I'll do that when I'm back home.”
Alivia, completely satisfied, urged him on. “Then you should go, don’t want to
miss your flight.”
She watched him go, barely containing her adoration.
Patrick discreetly looked away, knowing that even the most. accomplished people
couldn't hide their emotions when it came to matters of the heart. He followed
Max, pondering before finally speaking up. “Ms. Alivia has been waiting for you
for years, sir.”
But to his surprise, Max asked, “Waiting for what? Investment opportunities aren't
exclusive to Dorsey International. She could go to Kenzo just as well.”
The corner of Patrick’s mouth twitched, and he cleared his throat. “You

don't suppose Ms. Alivia has feelings for you, sir?”
“I'm aware, but she has rejected the marriage proposal.”
“Maybe she lacks confidence.”
“It's still a rejection.”
