A few seconds later, her eyes widened, and she forgot about her embarrassment. “You are
Mason? What brings you back in the country?”
Mason froze, then his features cooled off. “Sorry, you’ve got the wrong guy.
Realizing her mistake, Brielle hurried to catch up to him. “I apologize for not introducing
myself earlier. I’m Brielle from Dorsey International’s M&A division. It’s a pleasure to meet
you. I’ve been collecting information on the company you started abroad, and I was
wondering-”
She was cut off as Mason interjected, “Dorsey International? The same Dorsey
International that Max is part of?”
Brielle stopped in her tracks and nodded slowly, noting the sneer that appeared on
Mason’s face. “Does Max know you’re here trying to talk cooperation with me?”
Brielle frowned. Could there be bad blood between these two?
Mason’s expression returned to neutral as he waved a dismissive hand. “I have no interest
in acquisitions or investments from Dorsey International. Don’t bother me with this.”
Standing there, Brielle felt a sinking feeling. The very company Mason had founded was

founder back. home.
Why did Mason harbor such disdain for Dorsey International? She hadn’t uncovered any
information linking Mason to Dorsey International.
Not wanting to miss her chance, Brielle took out her phone, thought for a moment, and
decided to call Max.
Meanwhile, at the top floor of Dorsey International, a serious meeting was underway when
a ringtone sliced through the silence. The executives exchanged nervous glances, sweat
beading on their foreheads. Who could be so careless as to not silence their phone during
a meeting?
The finance director was the first to speak up. “Whose phone is that? Turn it off.”
As the words left his mouth, Max raised his hand, grabbing the vibrating phone beside him
and pressed the answer button. The reporting individual quickly fell silent, as did everyone
else, not daring to make a sound.
Max stood up and walked to a nearby floor–to–ceiling window, visibly brightening. “What’s
up?”
He had bought Brielle a house, a plot of land, and never even received a thank you, let
alone a returned message. Max felt a bit stifled, but now that she was calling him, his lips
couldn’t help but curl into a smile.
Was this a thank you call?

What Brielle asked next made his smile droop. “Mr. Dorsey, do you happen to know
someone named Mason?”
Max remained silent, and the other executives nearby could almost feel a chill sweeping
through the room, making them shiver.
Brielle couldn’t see his face, nor could she gauge his mood. “The company I’m planning to
approach was founded by Mason. I just ran into him here, and it seems like a great
opportunity to connect with him, but he seems to have a strong aversion to Dorsey
International. I want to understand why. Mr. Dorsey, can you shed some light on this?”
Max’s grip on the phone tightened. Brielle was truly the fastest to change her attitude that
he had ever seen. She had agreed so sweetly in bed that she would call him by his name,
and here she was, just two days later, politely calling him Mr. Dorsey again.

His voice was audible, and everyone in the meeting room heard it, causing a collective
jolt. Who was Mr. Dorsey speaking to so intimately?
Whispers spread among the curious.
“It must be Alivia. It looks like the marriage between the two families really isn’t far off.”
“And Ms. Alivia is even helping Dorsey International with overseas investments. It’s only
right.
for the CEO to be nice to her.”
Only the HR director and the finance director exchanged knowing looks, a silent
understanding between them. They had stumbled upon Max and Brielle’s affair before;
Max was different with Brielle. As for Alivia? Max had never personally mentioned any
alliance with the Barnes family. and everything was just speculation.
The person occupying his thoughts now was Brielle..
Max was oblivious to the undercurrents among his staff. After his statement, he waited for
Brielle to respond.
flicker of confusion crossed Brielle’s heart, but she maintained her polite tone. “I think it’s
appropriate to call you Mr. Dorsey. I know where to draw the line.” To avoid stirring up any
undesired emotions within herself.
