Chapter 88
“Brielle! Open up right now!” Anger and humiliation churned within, a tempest raging in his chest.
Brielle lounged on the couch, making no move toward the door, her arms instead wrapped around Max’s neck.
Max glanced down at her, easing her hands away, “Not going to answer the door?”
Brielle snorted with amusement, pointing first at him, then back to herself, “So that he can find out that the almighty Mr. Dorsey has graced us mere mortals with his presence to personally attend to an employee?”
“Wouldn’t be the end of the world.”
“Bang! Bang!”
The pounding on the door persisted, a clear sign that if the door wasn’t opened, the knocking would become a permanent fixture.
Cleverly, Brielle grabbed her phone and quickly powered it down. Outside, Spencer indeed began to call.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off.” Frustration nearly drove him to crush his phone, but then Lillian called. Spencer paused, irritation flickering in his eyes. In truth, the specific reason he had ended up in Lillian’s arms was now a blur. He only remembered drinking and feeling irritated by Brielle, unable to resist pouring out his grievances to Lillian.
His mind, muddled by booze, remembered only the softness of her embrace, and her whispering, “If it were me, I wouldn’t let you suffer like this.”
Indeed, being in his favor was a blessing, yet Brielle seemed clueless about treasuring it.
“Lillian, what’s up?” His tone was clipped, leaning casually against the door, devoid of his usual warmth.
Sizing up his mood, Lillian tread lightly, “Spencer, have you gone to see Bri?”
At the mention of Brielle, Spencer felt a blockage in his heart. He didn’t feel loved with her, but with Lillian, he felt everything. Lillian was understanding, considerate, and even after knowing he was unwilling to break off the engagement, she didn’t express her grievances. She remained gentle, not forcing fate, and throughout, he was the only man in her life. Compared to the fickle Brielle, Lillian was perfection.
