Patrick, observing Max’s furrowed brow, couldn’t help but interject. “Mr. Dorsey, Mr. Michael called. He said that Spencer’s wedding is set for two days from now, but you can’t bring Ms. Belle along. If you do, you may as well not attend yourself” 

Michael’s stance was crystal clear, he would not acknowledge Brielle as his daughter–in–law within the next six months. As for what happens after that, it would depend on Brielle’s achievements. 

Currently, Brielle was tied up with the mess at Stellar Stage Entertainment. If she wanted to make a name for herself, she’d have to hustle, which meant spending even less time with Max. Max was a busy man, entangled in a web of commitments. Throw in the overseas. acquisitions, and he was bound to be even busier than before. Any slight misunderstanding could become a thom in their relationship. 

Max’s eyes fluttered open. “Then I’m not going.” 

Patrick, surprised by Max’s curt reply, paused before adding another piece of news. “Ms. Martha has been calling repeatedly, insisting you meet with her today, no matter what.”

With no clear vision of what lay ahead and faced with such a merciless reality, how much confidence could they possibly have? 

Max rubbed his temples, then heard his office door open. Someone walked in without

“Mr. Dorsey.” Sydney mimicked Brielle’s tone deliberately, her voice calm and steady. “These are the documents you’ll need for this afternoon.” She placed them on the desk, her gaze lingering greedily on Max. 

Max’s expression darkened. “Out. 

Sydney blanched, but her eyes still clung to him with a mixture of defiance and desire. 

Max didn’t even glance at her, his attention fixed on the papers. Sydney clenched her teeth. “Ms. Haywood stopped by the office this morning to wrap up her work. I thought Mr. Spencer would be returning, so I called him, but he didn’t pick up. In my haste, I forgot to knock.”
