Chapter 337: Rachel sighed and gently nudged Natalia aside. "Natalia, you do realize I'm your competition, right?" she said in a serious tone.
"Didn't you already break up with Brian?" Natalia shot back without missing a beat.
Rachel froze for a moment. Tracy hadn't heard about the breakup yet, and she certainly hadn't expected Natalia to be in the loop. "How do you know about that?" Rachel asked, frowning slightly.
"It's a long story, but let's just say I have my sources," Natalia said smugly. "Since you and Brian are done, we're not even rivals anymore. Besides, even if we were, at least you'd be a fair competitor. But Tracy? She's a different story. She annoyedtoday, and I can't just let it slide. I have to put her in her place, or I won't feel right." Listening to her, Rachel couldn't help but feel a little envy.

That unrestrained confidence was something Rachel genuinely admired.
But deep down, she understood that she and Natalia cfrom completely different worlds.
Natalia had the luxury of being backed by a powerful family. As the cherished only daughter, her father shielded her from hardships, ensuring she never faced any real struggles. Rachel, on the other hand, was merely an afterthought in the Marsh family.
In the end, Natalia's relentless persistence won out, and Rachel reluctantly followed her.
The moment they stepped out of the elevator, they ran straight into Tracy.
Tracy's brows furrowed as she looked Rachel up and down. "If I remember correctly, Brian didn't call you or invite you to a meeting, right?" Her tone was condescending.
"What? Are you psychic? How do you know he didn't call me?" Rachel raised a brow, unimpressed.
Tracy's lips pressed into a thin line, momentarily speechless. But the second she noticed Natalia, she quickly found a new target.
"Fine, even if that's the case, the executive floor is strictly for senior staff. Not just anyone can waltz in.” Her gaze swept over Natalia, her meaning loud and clear.

Tracy's face twisted with irritation. She pointed an accusatory finger at her. "Do you still think you hold the sstatus as Brian's fiancée? You're just a manager now. What right do you have to talk back to me?" "And so what if I'm just a manager? Based on company hierarchy, my rank is still higher than yours," Rachel shot back.
"That's impossible!" Tracy snapped. "I'm Brian's secretary. work directly in the executive office."
Rachel gave a mean smile. "And? Do you think that puts you on the slevel as Ronald? Before you start looking down on others, maybe you should take a hard look at yourself. If it weren't for Brian, you'd be nothing." A slow, rhythmic clap echoed through the hallway.
Natalia, perched casually against the wall in her heels, looked thoroughly eptertained.
