Chapter 663
The back and forth between the two people completely disregarded Brielle as a human being. It was as if she was just some stray cat or dog, easily dismissed.
Annie took the candy from Murray’s hand, and her expression finally softened a bit. “Aw, come en, I’m not mad at you. Don’t let my poker face scare you off. Let’s get a move on. The defense we set up is nothing compared to what Max can do. If he catches us slacking off because we’re goofing around, we’re toast.”
Murray nodded, respectfully falling in step behind her,
The long corridor grew quiet in an instant, the lively warmth from the party room spilling out from the ajar door. Brielle felt suffocated and slowly pushed Kenzo away, leaning against the wall to catch her breath. She had no idea what she looked like. Her neck was craned slightly, her face flushed with a rosy tint.

Kenzo took her phone and dialed Max, but before the call could connect, a figure appeared at the end of the hallway, sweeping Brielle into a tight embrace.

Max took them, his frown deepening at the sight of the bottle, so Kenzo explained quickly, “She asked for it and claimed it was tasty.”
Max massaged his forehead, resisting the urge to pinch Brielle’s cheek.
Brielle winced at the pinch, instinctively trying to pull away.
“Brielle?” Max called out, lifting her in his arms and heading straight out.
