Master of his heart

Chapter 412
He had toyed with the idea of Inviting that woman whose voice was a dead ringer
for Brielle back to his hotel room, but he hadn't snagged her contact Information
after their last encounter.
Spencer's Adam's apple bobbed as he lowered his volce. “If you're itching for it, I
can satisfy you right here in the office,”
No sooner had the words left his lips than a cup of coffee splashed on his face.
The brown stain of the coffee slid down his cheek, soaking through his sult to the
white shirt beneath.
Brielle hadn't expected Spencer to be so brazen, so utterly shameless. A
colleague had brought in the coffee, but due to the morning's positive pregnancy
test, she hadn't touched it, and it had gone cold.
Spencer wiped his face, unsurprised by Brielle’s retort. “Are you still holding out
for Uncle Max to sweep you off your feet? Brielle, how low can you get?”
The more he insulted her, the more it pained him.
“Get out.” Brielle shifted her gaze to the computer, unwilling to waste any energy
on such a
person.
With pursed lips, Spencer gave her one deep look and then pushed the door
open to leave.
The colleagues outside saw his coffee—stained figure but dared not stare, all
thinking Ms. Haywood was the real powerhouse.
Once Spencer entered the elevator, he leaned against the wall, catching his
breath, and glanced at his arousal. It wasn’t Brielle who was cheap, it was him,
so cheap that despite knowing her disdain, he almost lost it over her words.
Frustrated, he punched the elevator wall. With no outlet for his pent-up energy,
he felt suffocated.
Back in the office, Brielle felt nothing but irritable. She had a sharp sense that
Spencer had changed; his eyes held not only disgust but something more that
made her feel endangered. But she had no time to dwell on these feelings. Her
mind was preoccupied with the two lines. on the pregnancy test, still feeling like
an illusion.
Her computer kept pinging with notifications. The Beaconsfield media was all
praise for Alivia, nearly putting her on a pedestal. And as for Max, he was already
a figure of reverence.
Brielle felt no stirrings in her heart, nor did she call Max to ask about the details.
She had long known Alivia’s maneuvers, how she hid behind others in an armor
of generosity and gentleness, deceiving the public.
This media circus, this deluge of blessings, was Alivia's warning shot. If Brielle
showed any sign of weakness now, she’d be conceding defeat to Alivia before
their battle had even begun.

Max had someone bring in a light meal for her, but Martha just waved it away,
“Max, why don’t you stay for dinner tonight? It's been ages since we've had a
meal together,”
Max's thoughts still lingered on Brielle, but seeing Martha's weary and anxious
face, he nodded. “Alright.”
Martha's expression softened, and she eventually drifted off to sleep.

Max looked into the distance, his face lighting up with an Involuntary smile at the
thought of Brielle. “Yeah.”
The word plunged into Alivia’s heart like a knife, swift and unhesitating. Despite
agony in her heart, her face betrayed nothing. “Really? Congratulations. Are you
planning to tell your
mother?”
“The situation with my mother isn’t great. I'm not planning to tell her just yet. Plus,
the woman I like has her reasons for not wanting to make our relationship public.”
Alivia’s jealousy made her tremble, unable to fathom someone who did not want
to declare a relationship with a man like Max. Was Max waiting for this woman to
give him commitment?
How could Brielle be worthy? What gave her the right to have Max wait for her?
Alivia’s nails dug into her palms, wishing she could subject Brielle to the cruelest
tortures imaginable. The heartache Alivia felt now, Brielle would have to repay It
a hundredfold!
But she couldn't rush. Brielle had never been her match, after all. All she needed
to do was stir others into action against Brielle.
