Master of his heart ( Brielle And Max ) novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317 

“Mr. Noah, I assure you, I won’t start anything if you don’t. I’ve trained in taekwondo, and though my leg isn’t fully recovered, I won’t get messed up in the office.” Brielle’s tone was nonchalant as she made her way to the couch and took a seat. 

Noah’s face tensed up, completely baffled about what she was getting at. Hadn’t she already agreed to go along with his plans? Was she playing hard to get? 

He took a moment to collect himself before sinking into his office chair. “Alright, I’ll behave. We have all the time in the world to discuss things. So, what’s on your mind?” 

Was it the future? Dreams? Or something else? 

Truth be told, Brielle was quite the looker. If it weren’t for his feelings for Alivia, Noah would’ve considered keeping her close just for her beauty alone. But with Alivia’s brilliance setting the standard, Brielle just seemed bland in comparison. 

“I heard Kingston Enterprises contract made its way to you, Mr. Noah?” 

The last thing Noah expected was for Brielle to bring up business. His expression darkened a bit, but remembering that their interactions were improving, he nodded. 

“Yes, that project has been handed off to Mr. Ryan. Mr. Dorsey had a sudden change of heart about working with Kingston Enterprises, and then the contract was pulled back. It’s under review here before it goes to Mr. Dorsey.” 

William held a firm position at Dorsey International, stable as ever over the years. Compared to Ryan, who was ousted a while ago, William was now second in command only to Max. Some of the staff even whispered about the changes within Dorsey International, with William opposing Max. 

However, only the higher–ups knew that no one could shake Max’s position. Just like how easily he had Ryan pack his bags and leave. Now, Ryan was desperate to return, but it all seemed futile. 

Brielle had only intended to discuss the contract but found herself tangled in information she hadn’t known. Had Max pulled the contract with Kingston Enterprises? When did that happen? She remembered the bidding war ending not too long ago, so the contract withdrawal had to be recent. Was it before or after Catherine’s kick? 

Despite her better judgment, she couldn’t help but feel a peculiar sweetness swirling in her thoughts. Even if Max had decided to distance himself now, during their time together, Max indeed lived up to his promise to look out for her. When someone treated you well, you had to acknowledge it. So even if their relationship ended abruptly, she harbored no resentment towards Max. It was just a matter of status, nothing more. 

“Mr. Noah, what’s your take on the project?” 

Noah hadn’t scrutinized the contract too closely since it was William’s responsibility. It was

just a formality in his office, awaiting his signature before it would be passed to William. 

“It should be fine. After all, Kingston Enterprises fought its way through tough competition, naturally outperforming others in many areas.”
