Chapter 353
Brielle almost burst into laughter at the sheer audacity of Spencer’s confidence.
Stripping away the years of familiarity, what did Spencer have to his name except
the legacy of the Dorsey family?
She didn’t want to utter a single word, yet she overheard the murmurs of
discontent within the department.
“We've been putting in so much overtime lately. What's the harm in a little late—
night snack?”
“Yeah, she’s been on leave for so many days. We've all had to pick up the slack.”
It dawned on Brielle that there was more to leadership than just strength; it was
about managing people. Your power was measured by how many were willing to
serve you. She had never before considered the intricacies of interpersonal
relationships, but now she couldn't ignore her colleagues’ complaints. Due to her
absence, overtime had indeed increased.
She offered a smile, turning to those still present. “Friday’s coming up. Let's do
dinner on me, huh? Spread the word to the rest, you've all earned it.”
The complainers were taken aback, somewhat startled. They'd never expected
Brielle to show such a down-to-earth side. Back when Brielle was a manager,
she was a lone wolf. So, this sudden gesture left them feeling a bit sheepish.
“Ms. Haywood, there's quite a bunch of us in the department. This could run you
a pretty penny,” one of them said.
Brielle’s smile grew more generous. “No worries. Just send me the bill afterward.”
With that. she strode off.
Spencer hurried after her. “Brielle!”
She pretended not to hear him, frowning as she pressed the elevator button.
Meanwhile, the department was abuzz with whispers, especially about the one
who had spoken

“Why are you worried about Ms. Haywood’s money? She's a director now, and
with Spencer chasing her, she'll likely marry into wealth.”
“Exactly. Let's not hold back tomorrow night. Order the expensive stuff. I've never
liked her much anyway.”
“First, Noah, now Spencer. Why does Brielle have all the luck?”
The other women in the department were green with envy. Hooking up with a
high—up meant a life of luxury, and Brielle had snagged two. Spencer, set to
inherit a chunk of the Dorsey fortune, was leagues ahead of Noah.

The loudest of the complainers was Sarah.
“I say we all go for king crab tomorrow night. If it doesn’t cost us a small fortune,
we're not doing justice to Ms. Haywood’s status.”
“Isn't that a bit much?”
“What's the harm? She didn’t set a limit. When others got promoted, they knew
how to treat their colleagues. It took Spencer to remind her. I can’t fathom what
he sees in a woman he once dismissed.” The more Sarah thought about it, the
angrier she became.

“Sarah, cut it out. There are cameras here. Be careful. Do you remember what
happened to Emily after crossing Brielle? She vanished.”
Someone warned Sarah, hoping to prevent any drama that might make life
difficult for
everyone.
Sarah pouted. “Can't I even speak my mind? Every time I see her smug face, it
just gets to me.”
Sarah's complaints dwindled, but the department remained restless.
Brielle, who had already driven off, avoiding Spencer and returning to Pearl
Estate, didn’t know any of this.

This might've been the only gamble she’d ever taken in her life, so she prayed

not to lose.
Her phone chimed, and as though summoned by her thoughts, there was a
picture from him. It was a cluster of small flowers.
Brielle instantly recognized them as irises. She smiled, feeling a profound sense
of peace. Everything else could wait until his return.
