Master of his heart

Chapter 93

Brielle’s tone was nonchalant, and seeing Emily turn red with anger brought her a
perverse sense of satisfaction.

“And you think you can fire me? Does Mr. Dorsey know you're abusing your
power?”

Brielle glanced at the bedroom door. He hadn’t known before, but she figured he
must be aware now.

Inside the bedroom, Max certainly heard the commotion outside. He was about to
step out when his phone rang-it was Kenzo calling.

“Max, Alivia’s back tonight. We threw her a little welcome back shindig. You
coming?”

Tequila Sunset was the go-to haunt for Beaconsfield's elite, a place where
privacy reigned supreme and only those with clout mingled. It was the venue of
choice for their inner—circle soirees and gatherings.

Kenzo glanced at the woman sitting opposite him. She appeared calm, but her
body was taut with tension. He chuckled to himself, thinking how quickly girls
grow up and out of their shells.

“Another time, I'm swamped.”

The call was on speaker, so Alivia overheard, “I've only got a few days off before
I have to return. Max, it's been ages.”

Everyone in Beaconsfield knew about their near—engagement. Back then, her
pride was too strong. She feared rejection from Max, so she rejected him first.
Now she deeply regretted it. If she had agreed back then, perhaps Max would
have agreed to this marriage out of

consideration for Michael.

She lowered her head, caressing her rosary. The cool black beads reminded her
of the identical one on his wrist, and her heart softened.

Chapter 93

“If you're really tied up, I could come over to Dorsey International.”

With the conversation going this far, it would be cruel for Max to refuse. He
frowned, but out of consideration for Kenzo, he relented,

“Tomorrow night, then.”

Alivia breathed a sigh of relief, her heart swelling with sweetness, “Great, I'll wait
for you.”

After hanging up, Kenzo gave her a teasing look, “You know, you could've just
called him yourself instead of using me as a go-between.” Alivia shot him a
mock—-angry glance. “Stop teasing me.”

They weren't alone. Others sat nearby, but these folks weren't part of the same
circle as Sophia.

Chapter 91

“That's because he’s only gentle with you. After all, you're his old flame.”
Laughter erupted around them as they teased about expecting to celebrate their
eventual nuptials. Elated, Alivia let herself drink a few

too many.

Meanwhile, Kenzo sat by her side, long fingers idly spinning his glass. He didn’t
bring up the matter with Brielle—his sister was probably unaware. A smirk danced
on his lips in anticipation. There would be drama to watch in the days ahead.
