Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1891

Tommy tactfully excused himself.

Kristen also quickly stood up, claiming she had unfinished work, and hurriedly left the room.

As soon as they were gone, Nathaniel's gaze turned cold.

He fixed his eyes on Mavis. "Why do you always cause trouble for her?"

Mavis glared at him, her anger barely contained.

"When have I ever caused trouble for her? Please be reasonable. Do you just believe everything she says?"

Nathaniel's expression grew stern. "Kristen just took responsibility for the situation, saying it was her fault and asking you not to make trouble for the others. But you deemed a work discussion as casual chat? Mavis, are you getting a little too carried away with your role as an assistant?"

So that was it.

The villain played the victim first.

Kristen portrayed herself as innocent in front of Nathaniel and completely different in front of Mavis.

However, Mavis refused to let the false narrative stand.

She took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice steady and calm, though her words still stung with frustration.

"First of all, how do you know that I was just looking for trouble? Secondly, if you believe what she said, why even call me here? Just punish me and be done with it. Thirdly, you weren't there, so how could you know if they were discussing work or just chatting? I've been your assistant for so long. When have you ever seen me act like a bully? Nathaniel, if you think Kristen is so innocent, shouldn't she be thinking about how her actions might cause problems between us?"

Mavis did her best to keep her tone from escalating into a full-blown argument, but the anger she felt was hard to hide.

Nathaniel fell silent for a long while, his irritation evident as he lit a cigarette.

He had only said one thing, but Mavis had fired back with a flood of whines.

Besides, if he had truly believed Kristen, he would not have even bothered to ask her side of the story.

Since finding out about her pregnancy, Mavis had become increasingly sensitive to the smell of smoke.

She immediately stood up, moving away to escape the secondhand smoke, her discomfort clearly displayed.

From a professional standpoint, Mavis saw him as failing in his leadership role and unfit to head the Nicholls Group.

She thought Kristen was new to the business department and did not understand the stakes, posing a significant risk to the company's future.

Mavis argued her point, only to receive the same old excuses from Nathaniel.

"It's her first project, so there are bound to be flaws. She's still a newbie and needs encouragement and training. Didn't you also start out with mistakes?"

Mavis was left speechless by his responses.

As more and more people at the company began to see Nathaniel and Kristen as a perfect match, Mavis felt increasingly out of place.

Her pregnancy was becoming more noticeable, and she was at a loss as to what she should do.

…

Kristen's life seemed smooth on the surface, but she was far from having an easy time.
