Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408 

Brielle leaned against the cold marble column near the elevator, her gaze following Ryan and Spencer as they approached. Before they could spot her, she deftly slipped behind the pillar

out of view

Ryan, true to Brielle’s expectations, was at loggerheads with William. When Ryan was part of the Dorsey International team, he hung on to every word William said. Even if he begrudged it inwardly, he was professional on the surface. There was a time when Ryan thought he and William were teaming up against Max. After Max had him ousted, Ryan had sought out William, hoping for some brotherly intervention to get him reinstated. William, however, deflected with excuses at every turn

After a few such encounters, Ryan realized they were never really a team, just two soldiers fighting their own separate battles.. 

Now that Ryan had stepped over William to make his comeback, he wasn’t about to start showing any deference as he used to

Ryan seemed to be in high spirits, a smile playing on his lips as he waited for the elevator. He playfully clapped Spencer on the back. Spencer, you didn’t let me down this time, buddy. Clever move aligning with Noah,Ryan said, barely containing his glee. You should have seen. William’s face just now. Oh, it was priceless!” 

Spencer didn’t seem to share his father’s enthusiasm. His mind was elsewhere as he asked, Dad, is it true that Uncle Max’s mom is considering moving back stateside?” 

Ryan’s expression stiffened, his mood souring. Why do you care about her? That crazy old bat, always causing a scene at the drop of a hat.” 

Ryan’s face twisted with distaste as he massaged his temples. Don’t worry about things that don’t concern you. Focus on how you’re going to convince Max to give you a promotion. You can’t just keep doing the smalltime deals under Noah’s shadow. It’s beneath a Dorsey family member.” 

Spencer took a deep breath. A promotion from Max? That was wishful thinkingMax would probably be happy to see him gone. But it didn’t matter. With Max’s mom coming back, Alivia’s status would skyrocket, and Brielle would have to face the harsh reality that she meant nothing 

to Max

With a sneer, Spencer followed Ryan Into the elevator

Once they were gone, Brielle stepped out from behind the pillar. Tiffanie had already informed her about Max’s mother’s potential move back home, and Alivia’s likely return. Max hadn’t attended today’s meetingwas he busy with this

Brielle tried to focus on her work in her department but found it difficult to concentrate on the tasks at hand. As the day neared its end, her phone rang. It was Tiffanie

Brielle, have you seen the news?Tiffanie asked

What news?” 

Tiffanie sounded exasperated. About Alivia coming back home, of course. The media is all over it. She’s being halled as a prodlay, the youngest head of a research Institute,” 

Brielle flicked on her computer and, sure enough, Alivia was the headline, Alivia may not have been a stunner at first glance, but she had a gentle beauty and softspoken manner

Prominent universities back home were even sharing the news of her returna level of clout that seemed reserved for Alivia among her peers

Tiffanie was still talking. Do you have any idea what being the head of a research Institute branch means back home? That’s a position with massive resources at your fingertips. I bet. Dustin’s visit was tied to this.”
