Master of his heart

Chapter 537
Spencer sneered inwardly as he approached Pearl Entate, noticing the lights still
on. He had suspected that Brielle wouldn't return tonight after she and Max left
the Dorsey mansion, but to his surprise, it wasn't Brielle who greeted him inside—
it was Max himself, casually sitting on the couch
Weighing his options, Spencer recalled the watch incident from before. Max
raised an eyebrow as Spencer confidently retrieved his belongings from a
drawer, clearly belonging to him. How did Spencer have a key to Brielle’s place,
and why were his things there?
“Uncle Max, I'll leave you to it,” Spencer said, trying to mask the discomfort from
the pain Brielle had inflicted earlier, which now oddly felt like a relief.
He hoped this mix-up would drive a wedge between them and pave the way for
his own
advance.
Trying to gauge Max's reaction, Spencer only caught a glimpse before Max took
a sip from his coffee mug, seemingly unbothered by his presence.
Feeling a sting of humiliation but respecting the man’s status, Spencer's fingers
trembled as he closed the door behind him. Clutching the watch, he fought the
urge to smash it against the wall, wary of making noise that Max might hear.
Instead, he pressed the elevator button repeatedly, his frustration growing as the
elevator seemed stuck mid—floor.
Meanwhile, Brielle had arrived at the base of Pearl Estate. Impatient, she opted
for the stairs, unaware that Max had already shut down his computer, packed up,
and left the apartment.
When the elevator finally arrived, Max shared it with Spencer, who was sweating
bullets and frantically hitting the close button.
Max stood there, calm, his lean hand holding the same laptop bag Patrick usually
carried. Spencer swallowed hard, feeling a knot in his throat when Max asked
indifferently about his plans to join the company.
The elevator reached the ground floor, and as Max passed by Spencer, he
paused and asked, “Nervous?”
Spencer wanted to deny it, but the sweat trickling down his face betrayed him.
He stayed silent as Max exited the building, his silhouette as stoic as an
evergreen. Max handed the laptop bag to Patrick, who had arrived to pick him
up.
Max had remained indifferent to Spencer's provocations, taking his actions as
trivial as a bad joke.
Upstairs, Brielle stepped into her apartment and immediately sensed another’s
presence. Spotting the cold coffee on the coffee table, she rushed to the window
and saw the familiar car driving away.
Her heart pounded at the thought of Max turning to Pearl Estate in anger. Without
delay, she

dashed to the elevator, dialing Max’s number.
Max heard the ringtone and looked down silently. Patrick sensed the tension and
suggested viewing the New Year's Eve fireworks with Ms. Brielle.
