RankNovelChapter 339: As she stood there with a bloody nose, several colleagues reacted with concern. "Tracy, are you alright?" "Tracy, lethelp you sit down." "I'm going to get Mr. White." Soon, the group split up. One colleague guided Tracy to a couch, another handed her tissues, while a third went in search of Brian.
As Brian entered, Tracy's smile flickered across her face again. She could almost hear Rachel's silent ridicule of her foolishness. But wasn't her seeming stupidity just a tactic, designed to provoke a reaction? Who else would have struck her if not for her provocation? Her timing couldn't have been better; not a moment too soon, not a tick too late. In that instant, she silently thanked her own nose for bleeding right on cue. More so, she was grateful for Natalia's impulsive nature. Without Natalia's help, she couldn't have orchestrated this scene so flawlessly. With Brian now here, she believed his guilt would translate into an increased desire to protect her. A sense of triumph filled Tracy's heart.
As Brian entered, Tracy looked up at him, her tears flowing freely but quietly. Her tears spoke volumes of her distress.

A young woman next to Tracy responded, "Yes, she's not bleeding anymore." Brian directed his gaze towards Tracy. "Clean yourself up and take care of that." "Okay." Not long after, Tracy reappeared, her face clean but marked by a look of vulnerability. The air in the meeting room was heavy, almost suffocating.
Tracy reached out and lightly pulled on Brian's sleeve. “Brian, I'm fine now. It wasn't Rachel's fault. Earlier, I spoke too harshly. Please, don't hold it against them." Her plea was predictably rehearsed.
Natalia couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Just keep pretending," she whispered under her breath, lounging in a chair with a drink in hand.
Tracy was taken aback by the intern's audacity to be so forthright in Brian's presence. Her boldness was truly extraordinary.
"I'm hungry," Natalia said suddenly.
Brian then moved to sit in a different chair. The room remained heavy with tension.

"Hold on a second," Brian called out as she began to leave "Since you're Kardex here, stick around a little longer."
"Okay." Rachel decided she'd observe the unfolding scene. After all, it wasn't Natalia who would be left dealing with the consequences. This time, Tracy might not cout on top.
Shortly, the door to the meeting room swung open and Ronald entered, carrying trays with coffee and m cupcakes. He greeted them with a smile and set the refreshments down between Natalia and Brian. Natalia eyed the treats and promptly took a cupcake to enjoy.
