Master of his heart

Chapter 58
Brielle trailed behind him quietly, a sense of surreal disbelief clinging to her. The
auction was only a couple of hours away, and she was sure Max would be
looking for her soon.
“Mr. Lynch, I came here with a colleague, and I should probably get back to him.
If you're short of a date, how about we touch base at the entrance of the
auction?” she suggested, convinced Max wouldn't need her as his so-called date.
Ever since Dustin hung up the phone, a frown had taken residence between his
brows. “Call your colleague. Tonight you're with me,” he commanded.
Swallowing nervously, Brielle realized she didn’t have Max's number.
Dustin raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly. “Colleague? Are you really an
employee of Dorsey International?”
“Yes,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
Dustin nodded and, without hesitation, whipped out his phone, calling Andrew.
“Tell Mr. Dorsey I'm borrowing one of his employees for the evening.”
After delivering the message, he turned to Brielle. “What's your name?”
Caught off guard by his assertiveness, she struggled to maintain her composure.
“Lucinda,” she lied without missing a beat.
Without any suspicion, Dustin relayed to Andrew, “Her name’s Lucinda. She'll be
my for tonight. Tell Mr. Dorsey I'll make it up to him with dinner when I visit
Australia.”

On the other end of the line, Andrew stared at his disconnected call, racking his
brain for the name.
No recollection.
Dustin had a taste for striking beauty, so this “Lucinda’ must be exceptional. But
did Dorsey International even employ such a woman?
Frowning, he glanced at Max, who sat with his eyes closed, “Dustin just called.
He wants to borrow one of your employees for the night, someone named
Lucinda.”
Max's eyelashes fluttered as he slowly opened his eyes. “Who?”
“Lucinda,” Andrew repeated, scoffing. “Since when does Dorsey International
harbor such a temptress that Dustin personally calls to request her company?”
Max's jaw clenched, a mist of emotion swirling in his eyes before settling back
into an inscrutable smile. “Lucinda,” he echoed.
He looked up and instructed Patrick with a casual command. “We won't be
heading back to the manor,”

Chapter 58
Patrick was surprised, as they were originally set to pick up Ms. Brielle. But
without further questioning, he adjusted the steering wheel accordingly.
The car fell into a tense silence. Andrew sensed a shift in Max's demeanor ever
since that phone call — a chilling coldness now laced with a hint of frost in his
gaze. “Max, didn’t you bring Brielle along? Where is she now?”
Max chuckled lightly, idly tapping his long fingers on his knee. “She’s at the
venue.”
“You're letting her wander around in the chaotic North American scene? If she
flies into someone else’s cage, dazzled by the glitz, she might never find her way
back.”
“Would she not be dazzled by the glitz at my side?”
Max closed his eyes again, his voice husky as he recalled the previous night.
“She's not that shallow.”
Andrew had his biases against Brielle. She had boldly schemed against Max at
their first meeting and shamelessly admitted to being his mistress.
He knew she wasn't, of course. Many in Beaconsfield longed to share Max's bed
but could only watch from afar — except Brielle, who actually took action.
He wondered if Max would have ended her if her seduction had succeeded.
Their second encounter at Tequila Sunset surprised him. Not only had she
survived, but she thrived.

“And you're tired of Aubree?”
Max's mention of Aubree caught Andrew off guard. Their relationship was meant
to rot away in silence.
“She’s just a pastime. Easy to call, easy to dismiss, saves me a lot of trouble.”
After all, Tessa didn't appreciate his dalliances, Sleeping with a hundred different
