Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 451

Chapter 451 

Brielle dragged herself to the office that day, mustering just enough energy to feign normalcy

Losing a child had taken a toll on her spirit. She had barely eaten anything in days. Her appendix scar was healing but still caused her pain with every move. The doctor had. suggested she rest a few more days, yet Brielle insisted on leaving

Only upon her departure did she realize she had been at a highend clinic, impressed that Sydney had managed to find such a place

Without suspicion, she went to her apartment at Pearl Estate, changed into fresh clothes, and headed straight for the office

For most of these past days, she had been alone. The silence was too much, and her thoughts often drifted to the emptiness where her unborn child had been. Bedridden and in pain from the appendicitis, she’d become numb, as if the baby had never existed. Yet the memory of those two little lines on the test kept reminding her of the life that had been there, a life that vanished before having a chance to see the world

Brielle yearned for the distraction of a bustling environment, to avoid sinking further into her thoughts

Brielle entered her office and Sydney followed close behind, while Spencer was left waiting outside

But Spencer wasn’t upset. On the contrary, he was eager to see what Brielle would do next. After losing a child because of Max’s mother, could she really continue to be with Max with no hard feelings? It seemed inevitable that they would fall out

At that moment, Spencer felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, barely containing the smirk on his face

Inside the office, Brielle took her seat at her desk

Sydney couldn’t help but recall her first time with Spencer, right there in that very office. A sneerof mockery flashed in her eyes as if she had triumphed over Brielle. If Brielle knew, she’d surely be disgusted, right

Brielle’s expression remained impassive as she looked at Sydney. Has Spencer done. something inappropriate to you?She had noticed something off in Sydney’s gaze towards Spencer and wondered if it was just her imagination

Sydney’s heart skipped a beat, but she was undeniably thrilled. If it weren’t for Spencer’s explicit instructions to keep their affair secret, she might have already shouted it from the rooftops, Your exfiancé has been addicted to sleeping with me lately.” 

But she dared not. She had no power to contend with the Dorsey family

No, Ms. Haywood, you’re overthinking.Sydney replied quickly, handing over some files. By the way, Ms. Haywood, you’ve been under the weather and probably in a bad mood. Why not go

out for a meal, watch a movie, or do some shopping? The other ladies in the department love shopping, but I’ve noticed you don’t go much.” 

Brielle had always been preoccupied with work and deeply committed to the company. Was it because of this dedication that the CEO had taken notice of her

As Brielle pondered Sydney’s words, Sydney scrutinized her calm and delicate face, which seemed aloof when silent

Sydney internally despised her, thinking it was all about the face. What was so special about that face other than being a bit dolled up? Despite inwardly belittling Brielle, Sydney couldn’t stop observing her

Brielle showed little interest in movies or shopping, having rarely indulged in such activities. I’ll keep the files. You may go,Brielle said coolly, her gaze returning to the pile of documents on her desk

Sydney had no choice but to leave

Once alone, Brielle massaged her temples. She hadn’t yet informed Max of her return to work. unsure of how to face him. Max had done nothing wrong from the start. He didn’t even know what she had gone through

But she couldn’t let go and, therefore, couldn’t face him
