Chapter 336: But on the other end of the line, Tracy gripped the phone tightly, her expression darkening. "Who the hell are you?" Tracy's icy voice was enough to make anyone's skin crawl.
Natalia's brows furrowed as she demanded, "Who are you? Where's Brian?" Her voice was youthful, and she seemed quite familiar with Brian.
Tracy's eyes flashed with irritation as she listened. But she quickly regained her composure. "Sorry, Brian's not here at the moment." Natalia wasn't buying it. "Then why do you have his phone? Get him on the line-I need to talk to him." By now, Natalia had a strong hunch that the woman on the other end was Tracy, who was even more arrogant than she had expected. She was furious.

"Tracy Haynes, you're just a secretary. Why are you trying so hard to keepaway? What's in it for you?" Tracy's breath caught. The woman on the other end knew exactly who she was.
Her heart skipped a beat. She tightened her grip on the phone, ready to respond, but the call had already disconnected.
On the other side, the moment Natalia ended the call, she immediately dialed Rachel.
"I'm stuck in the lobby. They won't letup. Can you cget me?” Her voice carried a mix of authority and playful stubbornness.
"Got it, I'll be right there. Just hang tight." Within minutes, Natalia's eyes brightened at the sight of Rachel, and she quickly rushed over.
"You finally made it! They wouldn't letthrough," Natalia huffed, throwing a quick glare toward the reception desk.
Rachel offered a reassuring smile. "It's just company policy. They weren't trying to keep you out on purpose." "Oh, fine. I won't hold it against them,” Natalia muttered with a small pout.

Just as Rachel stepped into the elevator and reached for the button, Natalia beat her to the punch.
"This isn't my stop," Rachel clarified.
Natalia gave a knowing nod. "I know. Brian's on the top floor-I'm heading up to see him."
Rachel didn't press for details. Instead, she quietly hit her floorm button. Alright, just callwhen you're done, and we'll meet up." She had no intention of going up, but Natalia latched onto her arm.
"Nope, you're coming with me."
"I have work to finish. Once you're done talking to Brian, we can meet up later," Rachel fibbed.
But Natalia wasn't letting her off the hook. "Rachel, just cwith me. Keepcompany. Tracy picked up Brian's phone just now, and she was serude I'm absolutely livid. I need to go up there and set things straight. Don't you want to watch the show?" Natalia huffed, her eyes gleaming mischievously.
