Chapter 220
A few seconds later, her eyes widened, and she forgot about her embarrassment.
“You are Mason? What brings you back in the country?”
Mason froze, then his features cooled off. “Sorry, you've got the wrong guy.
Realizing her mistake, Brielle hurried to catch up to him. “I apologize for not
introducing myself earlier. 'm Brielle from Dorsey International's M&A division.
It's a pleasure to meet you. I've been collecting information on the company you
started abroad, and I was wondering-"
She was cut off as Mason interjected, “Dorsey International? The same Dorsey
International that Max is part of?”
Brielle stopped in her tracks and nodded slowly, noting the sneer that appeared
on Mason's face. “Does Max know you're here trying to talk cooperation with
me?”
Brielle frowned. Could there be bad blood between these two?
Mason's expression returned to neutral as he waved a dismissive hand. “I have
no interest in acquisitions or investments from Dorsey International. Don’t bother
me with this.”
Standing there, Brielle felt a sinking feeling. The very company Mason had
founded was her next business trip's target, and she had never imagined she
would bump into the founder back. home.
Why did Mason harbor such disdain for Dorsey International? She hadn’t
uncovered any information linking Mason to Dorsey International.
Not wanting to miss her chance, Brielle took out her phone, thought for a
moment, and decided to call Max.
Meanwhile, at the top floor of Dorsey International, a serious meeting was
underway when a ringtone sliced through the silence. The executives exchanged
nervous glances, sweat beading on their foreheads. Who could be so careless as
to not silence their phone during a meeting?
The finance director was the first to speak up. “Whose phone is that? Turn it off.”
As the words left his mouth, Max raised his hand, grabbing the vibrating phone
beside him and pressed the answer button. The reporting individual quickly fell
silent, as did everyone else, not daring to make a sound.
Max stood up and walked to a nearby floor-to—ceiling window, visibly brightening.
“What's up?”
He had bought Brielle a house, a plot of land, and never even received a thank
you, let alone a returned message. Max felt a bit stifled, but now that she was
calling him, his lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.
Was this a thank you call?

What Brielle asked next made his smile droop. “Mr. Dorsey, do you happen to
know someone named Mason?”
Max remained silent, and the other executives nearby could almost feel a chill
sweeping through the room, making them shiver.

“I thought I told you to use my first name from now on.”
His voice was audible, and everyone in the meeting room heard it, causing a
collective jolt. Who was Mr. Dorsey speaking to so intimately?
Whispers spread among the curious.
