Master of his heart

Chapter 557
“Mr Dorsey, don’t worry. Ms. Brielle is bound to come back tonight. Patrick's
statement hung in the air as he fell silent, fully aware of how Michael's tactics
went straight for the jugular.
Indeed, Michael was the one who knew Max best, and thus, he knew exactly how
to twist the knife to make it hurt the most. And Ms. Brielle wasn’t answering her
phone, leaving everyone clueless about what was going on with her.
“Yeah.” Max's tone was indifferent as he opened his laptop, seemingly having
gotten his emotions under control.
Patrick had the housekeeper sweep up the fragments of the broken phone and
equipped
Max with a new one.
The overseas acquisition had drained a lot of manpower and resources, and after
a heavy initial promotional push, it required Max’s personal touch on many
decisions. He couldn't afford to drop the ball now, not with the hard work of
several branches on the line for the past six months.
After pinpointing several issues and reviewing the report one last time to ensure
there were no mistakes, he declared the meeting adjourned.
The meeting had stretched on for two hours. Later, Max left his study to sit on the
sofa in the ground floor living room, quietly waiting for Brielle’s return.
First, it was the rosary, then the million—dollar issue, followed by her trip to the
orphanage with someone else. Max wondered which issue Brielle would tackle
first when she explained herself.
As long as she explained, he couldn't bear to be angry with her. He had never
wanted to be angry with her.
Brielle woke up on the orphanage’s sofa to see that it was already eleven o’clock.
She was suddenly anxious and quickly stood up..
The kids had all gone to bed, and Ricardo was playing with his phone on another
sofa, seemingly busy texting someone. When he saw her wake up, he put his
phone away. “Ms. Haywood, you're up? Are you hungry?”
Brielle did feel hungry. She had been both tired and hungry before falling asleep.
She was no longer tired, but her stomach was painfully empty. “Ricardo, why
haven't you gone home yet?” “I was worried about you. So I thought I'd wait until
you were awake before leaving.”
Brielle, usually oblivious to others’ feelings, didn’t think much of this nineteen—
year-old boy's concern for her. She got to her feet and saw that he had
somehow produced a bowl of oatmeal. “Ms. Haywood, have this before you go.”
“No, it's too late. I need to get back, and someone’s waiting for me at home.”

Ricardo’s gaze was clear and innocent. Brielle, rubbing her temples, relented,

“Got it, thanks.”
Without further conversation, Brielle drove straight to Premier Palace. Her phone
was beside
her but had been off for a while.
Halfway there, her stomach pain became unbearable, and her vision blurred with
hunger. She pulled over, clutching her abdomen tightly.

Brielle chuckled, unlocking the door. Inside, the great hall was dark and silent.
Had Max gone to bed already?
