Master of his heart

Chapter 19
The door closed slowly, and Brielle remained rooted to the spot, unable to move
an inch. She had known Aubree for years but never realized the depth of the
relationship between
her and
Andrew. A tumult of emotions churned within her, like waves crashing and winds
howling. Didn't Andrew have a fiancée?
Brielle’s head lowered, her long lashes casting deep shadows across her face,
as she stood motionless.
The hallway was quiet and elegant, but the noises coming from the man had
been anything but. Perhaps mindful that Max was still waiting in the private dining
room, Andrew had finished quickly. His lips, his shirt collar, were smudged with
telltale marks of lipstick.
Leaning against the mirror, legs weak, Aubree raised an evebrow with a smile,
“Tessa didn’t take good care of you?”
Andrew, with a touch of cruelty, patted her cheek and said coldly, “This kind of
affair isn’t something she’s cut out for.”
Aubree didn’t reply, her face ghostly pale.
Andrew left her with a simple command, “Clean yourself up and come out,”
before he was
gone.
Once the washroom was silent again, Aubree straightened her attire before
exiting, only to spot a shadow around the hallway corner.
“Bri...¥
Aubree hadn't expected Brielle to be there, and in a flash of panic, she wasn’t
sure how much Brielle had seen. She knew her actions were no better than those
of Lillian, and almost instinctively she tried to justify, “You have to understand,
Andrew and Tessa-it's just a business arrangement. There's no love. Besides,
Tessa has always been frail and has never cared for romance.”
Aubree had a host of excuses to rationalize this twisted relationship. Brielle’s
eyes were calm as she eventually asked, “Do you think there's love between me
and Spencer?”
Aubree shivered and found herself at a loss for words.
The shock to Brielle was palpable. The very person who had just been
condemning Lillian had suddenly become the next Lillian.
“Bri, you wouldn't understand love. I've adored him for over a decade, since we
were kids.

The recent runaway episode? It was all because of his engagement to the
Rowland family.”
Andrew only saw her as a tool, but Aubree was powerless to stop her feelings. If
there were a switch to turn off love and retract all emotions, she would give
anything to flip it.
“Bri.”
Usually cheerful and bold, Aubree had never felt so scared.
Brielle was about to leave when the dining room door creaked open. Andrew
appeared, a smirk of smug satisfaction spread across his face, yet it lacked any
trace of genuine emotion. “Little Canary, best forget what you just saw.”
He had noticed Brielle all along but didn’t care.

Brielle watched this unfold, frowning, and through the slightly ajar door of the
booth, she locked eyes with Max.
Max remained indifferent, toying with a glass of wine, and casually patted the
seat beside him.
Brielle, still wrapped in his jacket, just wanted to return it and leave. She didn’t
look at Aubree or Andrew, feeling the entire situation was beyond
comprehension.
Approaching Max, his scent enveloped her-a warm woody note with a hint of
crisp rose-in the dim space. It lingered on her skin, impossible to shake off.
“Uncle Max, your jacket.” She slid off the suit jacket and placed it neatly on his
lap.
But Max just held her wrist, “Feeling down?”
Of course, Brielle felt awful, like she had swallowed a fly. The nauseating
sensation hovered in her chest, impossible to expel.
With the booth room door closed, isolating the pair inside, Andrew held Aubree’s
arm, “Acquaintance?”
Aubree’s heart trembled. Even if they were strangers, he should have stopped
immediately when he noticed someone nearby.
