Chapter 592

Brielle had just stepped out of her office when Donny heard that a call from Dorsey International had sent her rushing off. His heart instantly tightened with concern.

At Stellar Stage Entertainment. Brielle’s moves had been bold, too bold perhaps, and it seemned the higher–ups couldn’t stomach it any longer. They had finally taken their grievances to Dorsey International and sought out Mr. Dorsey himself.

What good could possibly come of Brielle’s meeting there?

Worry was etched across Donny’s face as he spoke up. “Ms. Haywood, if you’re no longer with Stellar Stage Entertainment, please, you’ve got to let me know where you’re headed next. I’ll follow you, I will.”

His voice trailed off as his eyes dropped and his hands twisted together anxiously. “Ms. Haywood, you’ve got a real knack for looking out for your talent. Having you join Stellar Stage Entertainment was a stroke of luck for us all. If all these changes you’ve been making get you into hot water with Mr.

Dorsey and his crowd, there’s not much we can do, really. But we’re willing to stick by you. You might not realize it, but the kids in the performance class today were bursting with energy – I’ve never seen them so bold and alive. They’re just twenty–one on average, and they’ve been living in the doldrums until now. Ms. Haywood, you mean a lot to us.” Donny was a man’s man, not one for soppy words. Yet from his body language, Brielle could tell how tense, even panicked, he was. She hadn’t expected to make such an impact on someone. Her lips curled into a smile. “I’ll be fine. Don’t you worry.”

She couldn’t openly discuss her relationship with Max, but having these people run to her boyfriend to snitch on her practically handed Max a weapon. Besides making him worry about her, there wasn’t much else to it.

1 Ah, she had to appease him again. She sighed, and Donny, interpreting her expression as worry, grew even more agitated.

Without further discussion, Brielle drove straight to Dorsey International. Even though it had been less than a week since she’d left, returning felt different. She had left reluctantly after finally being recognized for her abilities and securing her place. But Michael had ordered her to go, and she had to leave everything behind.

Now, as she returned, her heart was filled with reflection rather than regret. Stellar Stage Entertainment needed her more than Dorsey International. A group of eager people awaited her return, so she had to go back.

She made her way to the top floor and entered Max’s office without knocking. This brought immediate disapproval from the three executives of Stellar Stage Entertainment.

“Mr. Dorsey, just look at this woman’s lack of manners, barging in without even knocking. She must’ve gotten too comfortable doing as she pleases over at Stellar Stage Entertainment, thinking no one can touch her!”

“She’s been spoiled by the patrons over at Dorsey International, huh? I tell you, she doesn’t respect you, Mr. Dorsey.”

“Exactly, Mr. Dorsey, you mustn’t let this kind of person off the hook.”

Brielle arched an eyebrow, meeting Max’s gaze. He clearly wasn’t happy. When he was upset, his eyes seemed shrouded in mist, dark and brooding.

On the other hand, Patrick was trying his best to be inconspicuous, thinking these fools were digging their own graves with their stupidity. They had no clue how to read the room.

But on second thought, it seemed that there wasn’t much expression on Max’s face anyway, which was probably why those people were especially arrogant.

Seeing Brielle, Max slowly put down his pen. Brielle quickly offered a smile, “Sorry, Mr. Dorsey, the traffic was a nightmare. Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Max leaned back, resting a hand on his sleek, black marble desk, “Ms. Haywood, is there something you’d like to say?”

Innocence played across Brielle’s face. “I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong?”

Seeing her feign ignorance, the executives from Stellar Stage Entertainment cursed in fury. “Don’t play dumb with us! Look at the mess you’ve made over at Stellar Stage Entertainment! So, now you’ve come crawling to Mr. Dorsey, have you? Thought you were something special, but you’re just another weathercock”

“Mr. Dorsey, everything we’ve said is true. Brielle’s misdeeds are too numerous to count! We hope you strip her of her position and kick her out of Stellar Stage Entertainment!”

“Yeah! Kick her out of Stellar Stage Entertainment!”

The three continued their tirade, vilifying Brielle once more.

Brielle found it amusing. She stepped closer,.standing by Max’s side. “Mr. Dorsey, I promise, I’ve only done what’s best for Stellar Stage Entertainment–cutting dead weight and saving on expenses. But now I see I haven’t done enough. I made the mistake of keeping these few around. When I get back, I’ll have HR send their resignation letters.

The trio’s angry faces froze, thinking they must have misheard. What was Brielle saying?
