Chapter 98
Andrew's world seemed to momentarily shatter as he took a deep drag of his
cigarette, annoyance edging his voice, “Max, you're just gonna let her reel you in
like that?”
Brielle gasped for air, freed from his grip. It wasn’t her seducing Max at this point;
he had been the one to lean in for the kiss.
Talk about a misunderstanding.
Max's fingers grazed her cheek as he reached for his phone. As he was about to
speak, Brielle’s lips silenced him again. If Andrew was accusing her of seduction,
she might as well own up to it.
When the kiss finally broke, she noticed the call was still connected and curiously
asked, “Mr. Clements, you haven't hung up yet??”
Andrew was lighting his third cigarette, snorting coldly, “I just wanted to see how
shameless you could be.”
Brielle’s lips twitched, finding humor in the situation. Was this tarnishing Max's
reputation?
She cleared her throat, taking the phone, “I had no intention of performing for
anyone over the phone, Mr. Clements. Perhaps you should focus on how you'll
follow through on your promises.”
A dangerous glint flashed in Andrew’s eyes as he growled, “Nobody dares to
threaten me like this.”
His words had barely faded when Max intervened, “Stop scaring her all the time.”
Andrew paused, unintentionally dampening his imposing aura, but quickly got
irritated again, “Fine, I'm not scaring her. She seems bold enough to me.”
Brielle felt her ears burn. Max's sudden interjection had left her mind

Andrew's voice continued in the background, but Brielle couldnt make out his
words—it was probably something about making those two apologize again.

His fingers, cool to the touch, plucked the phone from her heated calm Brielle felt
as if he had stripped away her warmth as well.
Max always seemed in control, eager one second and indifferent the next, as if
he could walk away at any moment, without a care in the world.

The thought struck her, and she froze. What was this?
Falling for him seemed to mean waiting hopelessly, nailed in place, full of hope
and anxiety, like a forgotten parcel in some corner of a train
station.
She couldn't allow herself to be so vulnerable. If he couldn't give her those three
words, she wouldn't ask as well.
