Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1889

"Is there something you need?" Mavis asked.

Kristen smiled ingratiatingly. "Mavis, I know you're a good person and that you care about the company. We really were discussing work. Can you not tell Mr. Nicholls about this?"

Mavis looked at her incredulously, her gaze sharp.

Seeing this, Kristen quickly added, "It's not that I'm scared. You know Mr. Nicholls won't do anything to me. But if my coworkers get in trouble because of me, I'd feel bad. Even if there's a penalty, can you talk to him and make sure that only I get punished?"

Mavis could not help but scoffed inside.

Nathaniel punishing Kristen?

If she complained, Nathaniel would probably blame her instead.

She was not that naive.

Suppressing her anger, Mavis said nothing and brushed past Kristen.

She had not gone far when Kristen caught up and entered the elevator with her.

Kristen pressed the same floor button and, seeing Mavis's surprised look, beamed brightly.

"I also need to talk to Nate. Let's go together."

Fine, whatever.

Being in the same space as Kristen was suffocating, and Mavis had never thought an elevator ride could feel so long.

When the doors opened, Mavis quickly walked out in her high heels.

Kristen tried to keep up but nearly twisted her ankle.

Entering the office, Mavis placed the files on the desk and turned to leave.

As she opened the door again, she saw Kristen standing there, looking pitiful.

"Mavis, you walked so fast. Am I really that unpleasant? Do you dislike me that much?"

Mavis stared at her coldly, saying nothing.

With that, Kristen looked even more aggrieved, her lips trembling.

Nathaniel did not say anything or offer any comfort.

He was waiting for Mavis to explain, but Mavis remained silent.

After a while, Nathaniel asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Mavis chuckled lightly, her tone tinged with sarcasm as she replied, "No, it's just as she said."

Kristen tugged at Nathaniel's sleeve, her voice small and timid.

"Nate, why are you questioning her that way? You're not seeking the truth. You're hurting Mavis. I don't like it when you do that."

Nathaniel's frown deepened.

His tone had been perfectly normal.

Mavis stood there expressionless, like a lifeless puppet.
