Chapter 398: As he continued talking about White Group, his real intentions becobvious.
Rachel quickly caught on to what he was after.
"Excuse me, I'm feeling a bit thirsty. I'll grab sjuice." She got up at once, using it as an excuse to slip away. But before she could even finish her drink, he was back.

Since you're a manager at White Group, you must know his schedule. Is he really coming?" The moment he mentioned Brian, Rachel's expression subtly shifted. Before she could respond, others quickly crowded around, their curiosity evident. "Yeah, Rachel, is Brian White coming?" Seeing how blunt they were, Rachel didn't bother sugarcoating her answer.
She placed her glass down with a dull thud and said coolly, "I have no idea." That response clearly didn't satisfy them.
A few got impatient. "Con, how could you not know? You work at White Group." Rachel wasn't in the mood to entertain them and had no interest in explaining.
So she simply stated, "I quit." "No way! White Group is everyone's dream job. Why would you quit? You're just making excuses," someone scoffed, clearly doubtful.
Rachel huffed. "Overtnever ends, sleep is a luxury, and employees are treated like machines. And the boss? Cold and heartless. If any of you want that job, be my guest. I couldn't take it anymore." To make them stop pestering her, Rachel had no choice but to make up a story, and she didn't hold back on the exaggeration.
Even so, someone still scoffed. "So what if it's exhausting? The pay makes it worth it." "Huh? What's the use of it if you're worked to death? You're just mad because I won't spill where Brian White is, aren't you?" Rachel shot back.
Just then, someone in the hall excitedly announced, "Tracy is here!" In an instant, the crowd abandoned Rachel and swarmed toward the entrance. "Where's Brian White? Did he cwith her?" Rachel watched the commotion unfold and let out a quiet chuckle.
Elsa handed Rachel a glass of juice with a wry smile. "People chase after wealth like birds chase after food. To them, Brian White isn't just a man-he's a goldmine. Get close to him, and you're set for life.” "Is that how it is?" Rachel mused with another small smile.

Just as Elsa had pointed out, there was no shortage of people eager to get a piece of his wealth, status, and influence.
If she had been like them, perhaps life would have been easier. But that wasn't the case. She never cared for the fiches, the prestige, or the connections. She only wanted the man himself. And because of that, she lost-utterly and completely.
It wasn't long before Tracy made her grand entrance.
Draped in a flowing white gown that m highlighted her graceful figure, she looked every bit the refined and sophisticated lady. Her long, wavy hair tumbled elegantly down her back, while the hem of her dress danced with every step she took.
