Master of his heart

Chapter 242

The women around were a cocktail of envy, jealousy, and bitterness. How on earth did Brielle, after being dumped by Spencer, manage to snag Noah? It seemed so unfair.

Everyone expected Brielle to break down in a sappy mess, sobbing while professing she’d need time to think it over, but Brielle was the picture of composure, the coolest head in the room. “Mr. Noah, we’re in the middle of the office,” she said, her voice ice.

Noah had assumed Brielle would leap at his offer, but his pride took a hit when she turned him down, not once but twice.
