Chapter 29
Patrick froze in place, his mind racing to catch up with the unfolding situation. If it
had been anyone else, they probably would have seamed by now.
Max had been a paragon of restraint for years, never seen in close proximity with
any woman Emotions that came naturally to most seemed absent in him, which
was why Patrick was so astounded the first time he visited Brielle’s apartment.
He had prepared himself mentally all the way there, just to make sure he didn’t
gawk at Brielle the moment she opened the door.
Now Max was asking for Brielle’s file again, and this was the first time he'd
shown interest in someone outside of a business partner.
“Here’s Ms. Brielle’s file. She's quite exceptional in her capabilities.” Patrick
added the last bit on impulse, but Max’s expression remained unfazed.
Could it be that he’d guessed wrong? That Max wasn’t particularly interested in
Brielle?
Max scanned the documents with a placid look, his eyebrows lifting slightly when
he saw her academic accomplishments. And she'd maintained her leading
position throughout her time at Beaconsfield College, graduating at the top of her
class. Afterward, she went straight to Dorsey International.
Max's eyebrows arched again at the sight of her 50K monthly salary.
Atop student from Beaconsfield College, with so many cases under her belt, was
only making a 50K monthly salary at Dorsey International?
Patrick had apparently noticed that as well. “I don’t know if it's Spencer's but Ms.
Brielle’s salary has always been at that figure.
Graduates of Beaconsfield College typically started at top firms with salarie of
thousands of dollars, Brielle’s paycheck was indeed modest in comparison

Could Brielle really tolerate that?
Faith's,
Thinking about the person who showed a mix of submission and sharpness
before flicker of amusement crossed Max's eyes. “Does she have a weakness
that Faith is exploiting?”

Chapter 29
Developers had been vying to turn the property into an amusement park three
years ago when the deadline approached, and the government had even
considered opening it up for bidding, but the issue was quietly dropped,
Max flipped through the pages nonchalantly, musing over Brielle’s acceptance of
the director position, a slight smile forming on his lips.
“By becoming director, she’s crossing Faith. If Faith is holding this over her, how
can Brielle dare return to Dorsey International?”
Patrick’s checks flushed a hint of red, and he cleared his throat subtly, “Perhaps
that's why Ms. Brielle chose you.”
Max understood instantly. From the moment their relationship escalated beyond
professional, Brielle had this angle in mind.
