Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1890

Nathaniel was irritated by Mavis's attitude.

Last night, he tried to talk to her but was shut down with a single remark.

He spoke sternly, "Why didn't you wait for her? You're colleagues. Can't you get along?"

"I'll keep that in mind next time," Mavis replied, about to leave.

"Wait a minute," Nathaniel called after her. "Get some first aid supplies for Kristen's injury."

"I'm sorry, but I'm swamped with work. I don't have time for errands."

Nathaniel, holding back his frustration, checked his watch. "An assistant is supposed to handle whatever the boss needs. You have ten minutes. Hurry up."

Unable to bear it any longer, Mavis snapped, "I have clients waiting. Ask someone else."

After that, she left the office, giving Nathaniel and Kristen plenty of space.

She would gladly let them be together if they wanted to.

Later, Mavis decided to cool off in the restroom.

Her naturally fair skin looked fresh and dewy, even without makeup.

Ever since she found out she was pregnant, she had avoided cosmetics, preferring to go bare-faced.

After splashing her face with cold water, she started feeling a bit calmer.

She was about to head back when she overheard a conversation in the restroom.

"That really scared me earlier. Why does Mavis take everything so seriously? Mr. Nicholls doesn't even pay attention to her anymore, and she's still walking around with that stern face, trying to scare everyone."

"Honestly, Kristen is so much better. She's friendly and knows how to talk to people. She's been here briefly, and everyone in the business department likes her, including Mr. Nicholls. Unlike Mavis, who was hated by everyone when she first joined."

"Yeah, I wonder what Kristen thinks about all this. With a catch like Mr. Nicholls, she should be snapping him up."

The other woman scoffed, "Maybe it's because Kristen doesn't care about those things that Mr. Nicholls is so taken with her. Have you ever thought that Mr. Nicholls might already be married?"

There was a gasp, followed by a long silence.

Mavis nodded gently.

Tommy added, "Actually, Ms. Serrano is a very nice person. You two could have been great friends if it weren't for Mr. Nicholls. I've seen it myself these past few days. Mr. Nicholls is the one… I mean, Ms. Serrano, she…"

"Can we not talk about this?" Mavis interrupted, stopping in her tracks.

Tommy fell silent.

She looked at Tommy, feeling a cold bitterness.

Kristen really had a knack for winning people over.

Even Tommy was defending her.

Tommy, who knew her relationship with Nathaniel the best in the entire company, and had known her the longest besides Nathaniel, was speaking up for Kristen.

Feeling a mix of self-pity and determination, Mavis walked into the office.

Nathaniel was there, and so was Kristen.
