Chapter 81 A Jerk And A Slut

• Brielle was familiar with the company Book and wasn't quite sure if Max's interest was intentional or accidental. After all, Book's operations were strikingly similar to Alpha's. Was he considering investing in Book? If that was the case, Alpha was definitely out of the running. Ryan's little show was over before it even began.
• The thought of Ryan's misfortune brought a wicked smile to Brielle's face. She spent an evening gathering information on Book, but her schadenfreude was cut short when she saw Alivia's name among the related personnel. The rumors online seemed to be true-Max was ready to spend a fortune for his lady love. It was probably the first time in Max's career that his heart weighed in on a business decision. Brielle felt a brief pang of jealousy, but she shook it off and put together a comprehensive file.
• The next morning, after rubbing her tired eyes, she sent the file off. Even after a long nap, there was no response from Max.
