Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64

As the live stream unfolded, the viewers were struck dumb.

What had they just heard? Black swan events, automated stores, optionality?

Was Brielle actually negotiating a deal with the CEO? And it wasn’t some shady, under-the-table deal either.

The screen fell eerily silent for a few seconds before someone cautiously offered their thoughts.

“She’s top of her class, so she should be doing alright after graduation, right? That’s probably why she’s at this kind of fancy dinner.”

“Is it just me, or did she get even prettier? That dress looks amazing on her.”

“I’m jealous. How can someone be so confident chatting with Mr. Hartley? And the CEO seems to really value her opinions.”

“Some folks in their twenties are discussing partnerships with industry tycoons, while others hide behind screens, spreading baseless rumors.”

The boy streaming the event saw Brielle about to turn around, quickly stashed his phone behind his back, and pretended to be just passing by.

When Brielle and Flynn were discussing the logical relationships between things, she finally caught sight of Max.

Max was gracefully engaging with the people around him while making his way over. He always seemed to carry himself with such elegance, no matter the setting. Though a businessman, he had the serenity of a mountain spring – calm, grand, and gentle.

At only twenty-six, Max was a standout figure, both domestically and in North America.

Brielle sipped her drink, feigning composure while keeping an eye on him.

“Ms. Brielle, those who fall for Max are surely followers of Convulsionism, don’t you think?” Flynn asked.

Convulsionists were fervent believers from the early 18th century who held that certain objective, unchanging, and eternal truths existed in the world. It was about nostalgia, fantasy, intoxicating dreams, sweet melancholy mixed with bitter sorrow, loneliness, the agony of exile, the sensation of being cut off.
