Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1481

"You're the boss at Stellar Stage Entertainment?"

"Yeah."

Emma wasn't too thrilled about chatting about Dustin, so she quickly shifted gears. "I'm really craving something spicy today."

"Alright, I'll whip something up for you."

Peyton silently cursed Dustin under her breath as she helped Emma upstairs. After Dustin had dropped Emma off, he didn't notice the woman standing nearby.

The next morning, after breakfast, Peyton mentioned she needed to pop to the store again.

"You've been on a spicy kick lately, haven't you? I'll grab some more meat and whip up a spicy fish stew for dinner."

"Thanks, Mom."

Emma was getting ready for her live stream. Peyton, not quite up to speed with mobile payments, preferred the old-school way of keeping cash on hand. It felt safer to her. She grabbed a small cloth purse, stuffed it with a couple of hundred dollars, and headed out.

She'd once taken a cab to the big farmers' market with just fifty bucks and barely made it back. This time, she'd learned her lesson and carried more cash, especially since she planned on confronting that man. Boss or not, he shouldn't be mistreating Emma!

Peyton had her reasons for this confrontation. When she first went to sell a gold bracelet, she met a nice girl named Brielle, who turned out to be Emma's top boss. If this man was also a boss, surely he couldn't outrank Brielle. Brielle seemed like the type who'd stand up for what's right if she knew what was happening.

Peyton figured it was straightforward: even if Emma was pregnant, the father shouldn't be a no-show. She was determined to get some answers.

Arriving at Stellar Stage Entertainment, Peyton bumped into Donny in the lobby. Donny recognized her and, knowing Emma hadn't been around for months, asked, "How's Emma doing?"

"She's good, Donny. I'm here to see someone. Can you take me up to the top floor offices?"
