Chapter 211 Determined To
Win Brian Over
Rachel gave a small nod. “Alright, just have him sign it once he’s back..”
That evening, as she stepped out of the office, she spotted Natalia hurrying toward her.
“Are you done for today?”
“Yeah, I just wrapped up.”
Natalia hooked her arm through Rachel’s. “Come on, dinner’s on me.”
Rachel blinked in surprise. “What’s the occasion?”
“You forgot already? You promised to help me win over Brian. Plus, I’ve got a surprise for you.”
When Natalia set her mind on something, there was no escaping it.
In the end, Rachel gave in with a sigh.
She figured Natalia would take her to some fancy restaurant.
Considering Natalia’s upbringing in luxury, that seemed like the obvious choice.
But to her surprise, she led her to a factory instead.
It wasn’t in some remote area, though–it was still relatively close to the downtown.
Even so, the idea of eating at a factory didn’t quite make sense to Rachel.
Curious, she wondered aloud, “Is there some kind of exclusive restaurant here?”
Natalia burst into laughter. “Not even close! We’re eating at the factory’s cafeteria.”
“The cafeteria?”
“Yep! I heard the food here is actually great, and the prices are super cheap since they offer employee
discounts.”
That got Rachel’s attention.
Letting her curiosity win, she followed Natalia inside.
To Rachel’s surprise, the cafeteria was nothing like she expected–it had an impressive variety of dishes.
Most importantly, everything looked fresh and well–prepared.
“Pick whatever you like. Let’s meet back here in five minutes,” Natalia said before darting toward one of

the counters.
Rachel preferred lighter meals at night, so she picked a few simple dishes.
After making her choices, she found a table and waited for Natalia.
A few minutes later, Natalia reappeared, her tray piled high with food.
Rachel stared at the overflowing tray. “Are you seriously going to eat all that?”
“Obviously! You have no idea–I spent the whole afternoon shopping while waiting for you. My legs are killing me, and I’m starving. If I don’t eat something delicious, I’ll collapse,” Natalia declared without
hesitation.
Rachel frowned. “You waited all afternoon? Why didn’t you just call me?”
Natalia casually took a bite before answering, “I didn’t want to disturb you at work. Besides, I was just
passing the time, so I figured I might as well go shopping. No big deal, just a little exhausting.”
She happily dug into her meal, not showing a hint of the typical arrogance expected from a wealthy
heiress.
Rachel hadn’t expected this side of her. She had to admit–she liked Natalia’s free–spirited and
straightforward nature.
After finishing her meal, Natalia leaned forward and asked. “So, what do you think of the food?”
Rachel nodded. “It’s actually pretty good.”
“And how about the atmosphere?”
“It’s pretty good too.”
Natalia rested her chin in her hands, her expression turning serious. “What if Jeffrey got a job here?
What do you think?”
Rachel was caught off guard.
No wonder Natalia had been so mysterious about the surprise and she insisted on having dinner here.
“Wait, are you serious?” Rachel asked, her excitement barely contained.
Natalia blinked, her eyes gleaming. “Obviously! Since when have I ever lied to you?”
“But you know about Jeffrey’s condition,” Rachel reminded her cautiously.
It wasn’t that she was doubting Natalia. She just didn’t want to set herself up for disappointment.
It was best to clear things up beforehand.
Natalia nodded eagerly. “I know. I’ve already taken care of it. This factory has special positions made just for people like Jeffrey.”
Rachel’s heart leaped with hope. “Can I see it?”
“Absolutely!”

Natalia pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
A few moments later, a staff member in factory uniform approached and stood respectfully in front of Natalia. “Miss Carpenter, the manager has asked us to assist you in any way you need.”
“Great! Show us around,”
“Right this way.”
By the time the tour ended, Rachel was practically glowing with excitement.
She turned to Natalia, her eyes brimming with gratitude. “Thank you so much. I don’t even know how to put it into words.”
“Oh, don’t be so dramatic. It was nothing! I just brought it up to my dad, and he handled the rest.”
In that moment, Rachel felt a quiet pang of envy.
She looked at Natalia and sincerely remarked, “Your dad is really amazing.”
“Obviously! That’s why I’ve always wanted to marry someone like him. And Brian is the perfect candidate. Speaking of which, I haven’t seen him in days. Do you know where he is?”
At the mention of Brian, Natalia perked up instantly.
“He’s away on a business trip,” Rachel answered.
“A business trip? Did Ronald go with him?”
Rachel hesitated, not answering right away.
Natalia, ever sharp, caught on immediately. “With Tracy Haynes, isn’t he?”
Rachel’s silence said it all.
The second Tracy’s name was mentioned, Natalia’s temper flared. “Her again? Why does she always get to be alone with Brian? That’s it. I’m going too. Take me to him!”
She spun around to face Rachel.
Rachel immediately shook her head. “That’s not a good idea.”
“There’s nothing wrong with going after what you want. Love takes courage. And there’s no way I’m letting Tracy win.”
Without hesitation, Natalia grabbed her phone and ordered someone to pack her bags.
Rachel hesitated, but remembering everything Natalia had done for Jeffrey, she sighed and gave in.
“Alright, I’ll come with you.”
“Yes! With you by my side, everything will go smoothly. Don’t worry, Rachel–help me win Brian over, and I’ll make sure you’re well rewarded.”
Rachel assumed they’d be traveling by car.
But the moment they stepped out of the factory, a private helicopter was already waiting on the helipad.
A group of uniformed staff approached in perfect formation. “Your helicopter is ready.”
“Perfect, let’s get going.”
Sitting inside the helicopter, Rachel was still processing what had just happened.
Brian had been right all along the Carpenter family’s power was far beyond what she had imagined.
“Can I ask you something?” said Rachel.
“Sure.”
“Hypothetically speaking… if you don’t win Brian over, what’s your plan?”
Natalia tilted her head, actually taking a moment to think it over.
After a brief silence, she frowned. “That thought has never even crossed my mind.”
After all, she had never once failed to get what she wanted.
An hour later, the helicopter touched down smoothly on the rooftop helipad of Brian’s hotel.
In no time, they were already stepping into the hotel lobby.
As fate would have it, the moment they entered, Brian and Tracy were at the front desk, checking in.
Almost immediately, Natalia dashed over and swiped the room key straight from Tracy’s hand.
She glanced at Brian’s room number, then at Tracy’s, and with zero subtlety, announced, “Oh, perfect! Brian, I want the room next to yours.”
