Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2226

Mavis almost forgot her original purpose for coming, nearly succumbing to Nathaniel's teasing. With her last shred of reason, she pushed his face away, preventing him from any more intimate gestures like nibbling her ear.

"This is a conference room, Mr. Nicholls. Please show some restraint."

Nathaniel chuckled softly, his long lashes hiding a hint of hurt in his eyes.

"After seeing my body, you seemed so repulsed by my touch. Do I disgust you?"

He spoke as if he were the victim, with a touch of feigned hurt in his voice.

Mavis stared at him, stunned for a moment. Somehow, she sensed a hint of bitterness in his tone as if accusing her of being heartless. When she saw the vulnerable expression on his usually proud face, she felt surreal.

Without thinking, she replied, "No, it's not like that."

The next instant, Nathanie lifted her off his lap and placed her on the conference table, leaning in close. Then, he stared at her soft lips, inching closer.

Mavis noticed his intention and tried to cover her mouth, but Nathaniel pinned her wrists to the table. Once again, she found herself powerless against his strength.

Their lips met, and the atmosphere heated up.

Just as the kiss was about to deepen, a knock on the conference room door interrupted them.

Tommy entered, saying, "Mr. Nicholls, have you finished signing the contract with Mrs. Nicholls? Do you need me to escort Mrs. Nicholls… Oh!"

Seeing the intimate scene before him, Tommy quickly turned away, embarrassed.

"I'm sorry! I didn't realize you and Mrs. Nicholls were… um, please continue."

"Wait," Nathaniel called out.

He slowly stood up, releasing Mavis and casually adjusting his collar.

Although Mavis did not know any of them, they all knew who she was and treated her with the utmost respect.

Before leaving the Nicholls Group building, Mavis remarked to Tommy, "It's been five years, and besides you, it seems like I hardly know anyone in this building anymore."

"Mrs. Nicholls, the entire Nicholls Group underwent a major restructuring shortly after you left. Anyone who had ever targeted you was fired," Tommy explained.

Mavis was surprised. She had been abroad at that time and knew nothing about the Nicholls Group's affairs. However, the strange feeling in her heart quickly faded.

She lowered her gaze and said coldly, "It's normal for a company to make new decisions. You don't need to claim it was for my sake just to help him."

After all, when she found evidence to prove her innocence and gave it to Nathaniel, he refused to clear her name for Kristen's sake. This incident disappointed her so much that she left, leaving behind divorce papers.

Tommy sighed. "Many things aren't as you imagine. Do you remember that insider scandal you were caught up in just before you left?"
