Chapter 245
A few minutes later, the trending topics about Rachel just vanished into thin air.
Tracy was beside herself with rage. “Impossible! How did this happen?”
She had paid good money to ensure Rachel’s position in the trending list. There was no reason for it to drop among the ranks, let alone disappear entirely.
Something was not right.
“I want a thorough investigation!” Tracy slammed her palms against the keyboard.
Minutes passed, then someone approached her with obvious trepidation. “We’ve found
out the reason!”
“Tell me.”
“It’s the White Group. Their PR team has been removing the topics from the trending list. More than that, they’ve already deleted every article that painted Rachel in a bad light.”
Was this all Brian’s doing… But hadn’t he already broken up with Rachel? Why did he
still care so much about her? He even went so far as to use the White Group’s resources
to clear her reputation.
Tracy seethed in a mix of outrage and resentment.
“You guys carry on with your work. I’ll be back soon.”
Tracy hailed a cab and headed to Brian’s office. She stopped on the way to buy quite a few sets of afternoon tea, then went straight to White Group’s PR and tech departments.
“Everyone has been working so hard. I prepared some snacks for you. Please take a break and enjoy them while they’re fresh.”
Some employees were already eyeing the tempting spread of delicacies with interest.
They had been busy all day, and couldn’t even take the time off to have lunch. They were now exhausted and hungry.

However, Brian’s orders rang in their minds, and no one dared to move.
Tracy smiled gently. “Come on, you need fuel to do your jobs properly. You can’t just starve the entire day. Go ahead and eat. I’ll take responsibility and speak with Mr. White later.”
It was all the encouragement they needed.
Seeing the shift in their expressions, Tracy forged ahead and began distributing the snacks to the employees closest to her.
Before long, everyone had backed away from their computers and were enjoying their
afternoon tea.
Tracy wasted no time sending a message to her cohorts. “The PR people have stepped away for a while. Hurry and push the topics back up.” Then she ordered for more fruit and drinks to be delivered to the company.
Needless to say, this caused a significant–and unsanctioned–extension to the employees‘ lunch break.
Tracy stood back and admired her handiwork with a cocky smile.
Sure enough, she saw the Rachel’s scandal soaring back to the top of the trending topics. Satisfied, she sent another message. “Well done! Make sure you keep it up.”
Unbeknownst to them, Brian was livid over a this office on the top floor.
He had just finished an international meeting, only to discover that Rachel’s name was
back on the most searched topics online.
“What the hell happened?” he demanded, shooting a sharp, chilling glare at Ronald.
“Mr. White, I–I…” Ronald stammered, unsettled by his boss’s wrathful gaze. “I’ll go down to the tech department and sort this out right away.”
“Forget it. I’ll go there myself.”
“Yes, sir.”
Brian stormed out of his office, with Ronald trailing behind him as silently as possible.
At first, Ronald thought that perhaps the public outrage was too much for their tech department to handle. Not once had he imagined the scene that greeted them.
The entire tech department were happily chatting away between their snacks. No one was working. Ronald immediately knew that they were in deep trouble.

“You have thirty seconds to clean this up,” Brian snapped, interrupting tim
Everyone sprang into action, and in less than ten seconds, every single piece of foot was thrown to the trash. The employees stood in neat rows, facing Brian,
Brian was still furious, though. “Do any of you even remember what I said?”
This was met with a silence so deadly, the air was thick with it.
No one dared to speak, and their heads were bowed in fear.
“I apologize, Brian. Don’t blame them,; it was all my fault. I shouldn’t have interfered with their work.” Tracy finally spoke up under the suffocating pressure. As usual, she played innocent and apologized, all while making herself out to be the victim
This time, Brian wasn’t buying her act. He turned his icy gaze towards her. “If you knew, then why did you do it, anyway? I pay you to solve problems for me, not create them.”
“I…” Tracy bit her lip, her expression pitiful. “I’m really sorry, Brian. I just wanted them to refresh themselves. They need to be in proper condition to be more efficient at their jobs. I know you’re worried about Rachel, and I know you can’t stand seeing her get attacked online. I was only trying to help, I… I didn’t expect my efforts to backfire. It was my mistake. I apologize for my foolishness.”
Tracy was crying by the time she finished speaking. She fled the scene while dramatically wiping her tears away.
None of that did anything to quell Brian’s anger. He turned to his employees and barked, “Didn’t I make it clear that I don’t want Rachel’s name to be on the trending list again? You have five minutes. If they’re not gone by then, you are all fired.”
With that, he strode out of the room in a huff.
Everyone jumped back behind their desks, tripping over themselves to get the job done.

When Brian returned to his office, he found Tracy waiting for him.
She was still wiping her tears, as she handed him a cup of coffee. “Here, I made you your favorite blend. I’m truly sorry, Brian. I was too naive earlier, but I only really meant to help you and Rachel. Don’t be mad anymore, okay?”
Rachel’s name did drop from the trending list at a rapid rate, cooling off Brian’s mood somewhat. “I might have misunderstood you, but don’t interfere with work matters again.”
Tracy nodded. “I understand.”
Meanwhile, Debby was lounging on the sofa. She was all smiles as she browsed through the internet, clearly pleased at the currently trending topics.
Carol happened to come downstairs just then. “What are you smiling about?” she asked casually.
Debby seized the opportunity and hurried to her side with her tablet. “Look, this is today’s trending topics A few of them are about your beloved Rachel. Why don’t you take a look?”
Carol noted Debby’s cheerful expression and assumed that it was good news. However, no sooner had Carol finished reading the headlines than she slammed the tablet on the table. “Call Brian,” she declared in a voice that rang out with absolute authority. “Tell him to come see me immediately!”
