Chapter 51
The innocence on Tiffanie’s face had vanished, and within a few minutes, she broke into
laughter.
“Turns out Maxie has met his match. How about I buy you a drink? I’ve really found some
great guys, all of them are quite the catch.” She adeptly changed the subject, her gaze
sparkling once more.
Brielle was itching to leave, but it was clear that now wasn’t the right time. Stepping out
of the car, her eyes fell upon Andrew, leaning casually against another vehicle.
Andrew was dressed down, but his presence was still commanding, in stark contrast to the
man standing opposite him, who looked like he stepped out of a GQ magazine, especially
his cigarette-holding hand, which seemed more suited to wielding a pen or painting
masterpieces.
Tiffanie noticed as well, her smile widening. “Brielle, what do you think of the guy next to
Andrew?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrielle’s lips twitched, struggling to suppress a chuckle, “If I’m not mistaken, that’s Kenzo,
the most talented screenwriter around, heir to the Barnes family legacy.”
Kenzo was nearly as tall as Andrew, but their auras couldn’t be more different.
Andrew’s presence was always crackling with a dangerous spark, as if he was a lit fuse.
ready to ignite and burn everything to ashes. Kenzo, on the other hand, exuded a gentle
demeanor, his hand that held the cigarette was distractingly attractive, and his smile had
a mischievous curl at the corners.
“You know him? You hardly ever show up to these gatherings. And Kenzo doesn’t seem the
social butterfly either. But no worries, if you fancy him, I’ll go drug him for now. We can
talk after you’ve slept with him.”
Brielle rubbed her forehead, “Are you sure you won’t get killed trying?”
you right
“Maybe, but I’d have to survive because Maxie wouldn’t let anyone finish the job. To snag
al night with the most talented screenwriter of our time, I’d say it’s worth the risk.”
“There’s got to be a better use for that energy of yours.”
Tiffanie paused, then burst out laughing, “I’m finding you more interesting than I thought.”
She had no intention of greeting the two men and was about to pull Brielle inside, but
Brielle walked over to Kenzo, standing with a poised yet approachable air. “Hey there,
Kenzo, long time no see.”
Kenzo put his cigarette down and tossed it in the nearby trash can before looking at her
warmly.

“Brielle?”
“That’s me.”
Tiffanie didn’t expect these two to strike up a conversation, her curiosity bouncing from
one to the other, finally settling on Andrew.
Andrew was idly flipping a lighter in his hand, the lid opening and closing with the flick of
his fingers, the flame igniting and extinguishing intermittently. Noticing someone watching
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhim, he didn’t look up.
Tiffanie nudged Brielle’s shoulder, “So, are you still up for meeting that movie star with
me?”
Brielle wasn’t keen on going, and this was a good opportunity to decline, but before she
could speak, Andrew’s mocking gaze landed on her.
She felt a chill run down her spine, and then she saw Andrew pull out his phone and dial a
number. After about ten seconds, the call connected.
“Max, your Little Canary wants to fly away to another forest. Should I just snuff her out for
you?” His tone was sinister, the last few words ground out between clenched teeth.
Brielle was somewhat afraid of Andrew; he was unpredictable, there was nothing he
wouldn’t dare to do. She had a feeling that if Max on the other end gave the go-ahead,
Andrew wouldn’t hesitate to choke the life out of her. A canary that didn’t know how to
endear itself to others wasn’t worth keeping alive.
Her heart felt squeezed, the air around her growing thin, barely able to breathe. She didn’t
know what Max said on the other end, but the next second Andrew pressed the phone to
her ear.
