Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1707

Mavis felt an overwhelming sense of sadness, her stomach aching from the stress.

Too tired to move, she rested her head on her desk, hiding her tear-stained face.

Tommy walked by and sensed her distress.

He wanted to offer some comfort but felt it was inappropriate due to their professional relationship.

Moreover, the tension between Nathaniel and Mavis had been noticeable, taking a toll on everyone in the office.

He sighed, shaking his head as he walked away, expecting another grueling period of work ahead.

Due to the unbearable pain, Mavis eventually fell asleep at her desk.

She did not wake up until noon, her stomachache having subsided somewhat, replaced by hunger.

She decided to head to the cafeteria for some food.

In the cafeteria, she grabbed a tray of light, bland food and found a quiet corner to sit.

As other employees passed her by, they still pointed fingers at her, gossiping.

"Did you see her? That's what happens when you try to seduce someone above her level. She's been thrown out by the Final Boss. Serves her right."

"Exactly, she should have known better than to aim so high. I can't believe she actually tried to seduce him. What a fool."

Already stressed by her issues with Nathaniel, these harsh comments pushed Mavis to her breaking point.

She slammed her utensils on the table and stood up abruptly. Then, she marched over to the gossiping employees and glared at them.

"First off, did you forget to brush your teeth this morning? You're stinking the air with your bad breath from all the yapping."

"Hey!"

She was equally puzzled why Nathaniel had suddenly moved her from the logistics department to his side.

There were no clear benefits for him. Perhaps it was just a whim.

Facing their accusations, Mavis coldly surveyed the crowd.

"All of you feed off others' misery, and you have no idea how damaging rumors can be. You only care about your own twisted pleasure. If the tables were turned and it was you or your wife being talked about, would you still be so smug? I hope every person spreading these lies gets the same treatment."

With that, she took her tray and left the cafeteria.

Unknown to her, a figure stood at a distance, watching with a complex expression.

Nathaniel's deep blue eyes followed Mavis, having heard everything she said.

It was not until she disappeared around the corner that he softly called out, "Tommy."
