Brielle stared at the list in her hands, a rundown of talent that Dorsey International had already scoped out. She wasn’t feeling all that confident about keeping these stars on board.
Nearby, Donny was pacing, practically babbling with anxiety.
“Mr. Haywood, what on earth is Dorsey International playing at?”
The internet was still buzzing with rumors about Max’s origins, and with Brielle being Max’s girlfriend, the new attack on Stellar Stage Entertainment didn’t look good. Did it mean Max was losing?
Brielle handed over the list. “Just focus on talking to these artists. As for Dorsey International, it’s out of our hands for now.”
Donny opened his mouth as if to protest but then fell silent. Outside the office, the once sycophantic executives were visibly on edge.
Recent events felt like some kind of twisted soap opera. Everyone had thought sticking with Brielle was a sure bet—no one expected Max’s downfall.
Max hadn’t made any public appearances to counter the online speculation.
They wanted to question Brielle, but she was tight-lipped—they couldn’t get a word out of her.
As Donny left the office, the executives quickly cornered him. “How’d it go? What does Mr. Haywood think? Still no word from Mr. Dorsey? I heard from a buddy at Dorsey International that William and Antonio are openly meddling in company affairs. Is Mr. Dorsey really stepping down as CEO?”
Donny just shook his head, clutching the list, planning to talk to Stellar Stage Entertainment’s talent next.
Back in the office, Brielle massaged her temples, feeling a wave of nausea build in her stomach.
She hadn’t seen Max when she woke up, but Addison and Aiden assured her he’d be back soon.
As she stood to leave the office, there was a knock on the door, and Aubree walked in.
With a movie release looming, Aubree had been run off her feet. Yet, the online rumors had still managed to shock her.
“What’s in the water in Beaconsfield? First, Kenzo talks about retiring, now they’re saying Max isn’t a Dorsey? Whoever’s stirring up this stuff must be nuts. How could Max not be a Dorsey?”
