Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1717

Mavis ignored him and lay on the other bed, turning her back to him.

She could not sleep that night, but thankfully, Nathaniel did not say anything else or disturb her.

He was unpredictable, and she was tired of trying to figure him out.

It was almost dawn when she finally fell asleep, but her biological clock woke her up at 7.30 a.m., as usual.

She turned over carefully to peek at him.

Nathaniel was still asleep on the other bed, his breathing even.

Quietly, she gathered her things and left.

Nathaniel's flashy car was parked outside, and the spaces around it were empty.

It made sense.

After all, nobody was foolish enough to park next to a Rolls-Royce.

It was simply too risky.

Mavis glared at his car and hailed a cab to the Nicholls Group.

Standing in front of the company building, she felt a wave of sadness.

She had once dreamed of working here and being close to him, but she no longer felt the same.

She just wanted to leave it all behind.

After taking a deep breath to steady herself, she entered the building.

Mavis only turned on her phone when she was at her desk.

Dozens of messages instantly flooded in, mostly from Nathaniel.

Some were asking where she was, others demanding why she resigned, and a few were just outright threats.

She deleted them all without reading them.

Then, she saw an email notification—Nathaniel had rejected her resignation.

However, Mavis was stubborn.

She looked like an angry little kitten ready to pounce, which seemed to amuse Nathaniel.

"If you can't pay the penalty, you have to stay until the contract ends," he said.

Their eyes locked in a silent battle, and Mavis eventually gave in.

She was not strong enough to fight him yet, especially when he held all the cards.

Seeing her frustration, Nathaniel's mood seemed to improve.

"If you're too tired and not feeling well, I can give you some time off."

Mavis replied coldly, "Please leave my office, Mr. Nicholls. I need to work."

She focused on her computer screen, ignoring him completely.

Nathaniel smirked and turned to leave.

As the door closed behind him, Mavis's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.

There were two voices in her head, constantly fighting and consuming her reasoning.
