Master of his heart

Chapter 425

“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.

Sydney was just a regular Joe in the company, a nobody. Crossing someone like Spencer was akin to signing your own death warrant without even knowing it. Although because of last night’s incident, her resentment towards Brielle simmered beneath the surface.

Spencer’s eyebrow arched, his whole demeanor screaming devil–may–care. He had always sailed through life on easy street, except for the occasional setbacks with Brielle. “You have a boyfriend, don’t you?” he prodded with a wry grin.

Help me out, though, and things change. Look, one romp with me, and I’ve already thrown ten mil your way. Keep me happy, and who knows how much more you’ll pocket.”

Sydney’s gaze dropped, tasting the bitterness in her mouth. Harsh as Spencer’s words were, they were steeped in truth.
