Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1448

Lionel strode ahead, heading straight for the target room.

Before reaching the door, they could hear gunfire from the room, echoing deafeningly down the corridor.

The sound was ear-splitting.

Downstairs, the customers in the private room started screaming in panic, and they quickly fled the bar, fearing danger.

Lionel led four people into the room while the rest were tasked with safely evacuating the customers downstairs to prevent them from discovering the hazardous situation.

Arriving at the closed room door, Lionel unholstered his sidearm from his waist and loaded it.

Then, he gestured at the officers behind him.

Soon, one of the officers violently kicked open the door.

The room was a mess, with shattered vases on the floor and bullet holes in the walls.

Was that last shot fired at the vase?

Lionel breathed a sigh of relief as he cautiously scanned the room with his gun drawn.

Finally, he found Nathaniel and Wade in the bathroom.

However, the scene in the bathroom left everyone present dumbfounded.

Nathaniel's ill-fitting high heels were planted firmly on Wade's back, his posture dominating, and the safety shorts under his skirt were fully exposed.

Wade's hands were twisted and dislocated, hanging limp at his sides.

A bucket of cold water sat in the bathtub, and Wade was soaked through, coughing violently with his face flushed red.

Hearing footsteps approaching the bathroom door, Nathaniel turned around.

He no longer disguised his deep voice and grinned mischievously.

"You've come at just the right time. Mr. Dickson got a bit too drunk, started talking big, and annoyed me. I was just helping him sober up and casually asking where he's hidden those contrabands."

Lionel asked, "Did he talk?"

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and opened his palm to reveal the crucial items needed for the operation.

"Satisfied?"

Lionel did not hold back his praise.

"Impressive work! I'll treat you to a pack of cigarettes later. Although your methods are a bit extreme, you've managed to loosen his tongue. Next time, though, don't take such drastic measures. Always follow orders."

He opened it to find a short message.

[Mavis: It's already 8 p.m. Are you coming home for dinner? Marius and Gabrielle are waiting for you.]

Nathaniel smirked, feeling slightly tired but content.

He quickly composed a reply.

[Nathaniel: Are they the only ones waiting for me? What about you?]

After sending the message, he waited for a response, but none came for two minutes.

Watching the chat window, Nathaniel felt an unexplainable sense of anticipation.

Ding!

[Mavis: I'm also waiting for you.]

Though the message was brief, it brought a smile to Nathaniel's face, lifting his spirits.

After years of being alone, having someone at home waiting for him felt great and reassuring.
