“Mr. Spencer, I really can’t do it,” she whispered, her voice laced with a fear she couldn’t disguise.

Having been around the block at the company, she knew that Brielle had some serious moxie. Brielle was brazen enough to stand up to Spencer and even gave Mr. Ryan a piece of her mind in front of everyone. No one was spared her boldness.
