Master of his heart

Chapter 242
The women around were a cocktail of envy, jealousy, and bitterness. How on
earth did Brielle, after being dumped by Spencer, manage to snag Noah? It
seemed so unfair.
Everyone expected Brielle to break down in a sappy mess, sobbing while
professing she’d need time to think it over, but Brielle was the picture of
composure, the coolest head in the room. “Mr. Noah, we're in the middle of the
office,” she said, her voice ice.
Noah had assumed Brielle would leap at his offer, but his pride took a hit when
she turned him down, not once but twice.
He wasn’t used to chasing women; they always came after him. A woman of
Brielle’s stature should have been over the moon that he took an interest in her,
shouldn't she?
The buzz of the onlookers quieted down as they sensed Brielle’s reluctance. The
atmosphere turned awkward in an instant.
Nonchalantly, Brielle stepped past Noah and entered the elevator. To her
surprise, Spencer was already inside. Upon seeing Brielle, Spencer instinctively
lowered his head. The scene from a few days ago was just too embarrassing.
Now the mere thought of it made him feel a flush of heat throughout his body.
Brielle’s gaze swept over Spencer with a mocking glint. Sharing an elevator with
Spencer felt more oppressive than dealing with Noah, so she stepped back out.
Spencer rode down alone, looking utterly defeated. He couldn't help but wonder
if he had made a mistake that day? Brielle was
known for having a wild side, so what was wrong with her bearing the
consequences of such a reputation?
Brielle’s disdainful look had pierced him like a dagger to the heart, causing an
aching pain that spread throughout his body. His phone rang, jolting him from his
thoughts. It was Robert on the line. “Spencer, Lillian’s been a mess lately. Can
you come over and talk to her? She always plays tough, but with everything
that's happened, I'm worried about her.”
Hearing that Lillian might be in a bad state, Spencer's heartache was replaced by
concern, and he hurriedly drove to the Haywood family estate.
Meanwhile, Brielle had stepped out of the elevator and now stood before Noah.
Noah watched her slim figure, thinking her earlier departure was just playing hard
to get, his expression souring. He figured it would take maybe just three days to
have Brielle eating out of his hand. “Brielle, have you decided to join me for the
theater tonight?” he asked with a hint of disdain.
Brielle furrowed her brow, ignoring him. When the elevator arrived, she stepped
in and promptly hit the close button. Once the doors shut and the noise faded,
she finally felt at ease.
Just as she reached the lobby of Dorsey International, she saw a car window roll
down. revealing Ryan's face. “Brielle, care to talk?” Ryan offered with a grimace.

Her fingers twitched, but she maintained her composure, “I don’t see what there
is to talk about with you.”
Ryan gestured towards a nearby café, his face darkening, “If you're scared, we
can talk next door at the coffee shop.”

“It wasn’t about me,” she retorted.

Brielle remained silent, curious about Ryan's true agenda.
Without beating around the bush, Ryan took out a bottle. “Find a way to make
Max swallow this,” he said flatly.
Brielle’s pupils constricted sharply, half-expecting she'd misheard. Was Ryan
really so brazen as to ask her to poison Max?
