Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1361

Nathaniel remembered the day Mavis bid him farewell with a smile, saying, "Good luck with your blind date!"

…

Nathaniel stared at his phone screen, lost in thought.

He suspected Mavis's sudden resignation had something to do with her returning home for the blinds dates arranged by her family.

Quickly regaining his composure, Nathaniel replied to Gideon's messages.

[Nathaniel: No need. When she settles her dues, just follow the standard resignation procedures. Whatever compensation is due, just pay it.]

Gideon replied promptly, [Mr. Nicholls, Mavis submitted her resignation letter herself, citing personal reasons. In this situation, there shouldn't be any financial compensation.]

[I said settle it as usual,] Nathaniel insisted.

It was only a few words, but Gideon could clearly feel his displeasure and dominance from the other end.

Gideon quickly responded, [Understood.]

Nathaniel was about to set down his phone when another text popped up.

It was from an unknown number, reading, [Mr. Nicholls, I'm Cassie Reynolds. Are you free for lunch today? I'd like to treat you to a meal. I might have come off a bit harsh yesterday due to my mood, and I'd like to apologize in person. Could we meet?]

When Nathaniel saw the name, he almost immediately furrowed his brows, his disdain apparent.

He replied out of courtesy, [I'm busy.]

Cassie responded with a crying emoji.

[Cassie: Mr. Nicholls, you're a gentleman. Please don't refuse me. It's just a meal.]

[Cassie: After I got home yesterday, my dad gave me a good talking-to. I apologize for my immaturity. Can I have a chance to explain myself in person? The Reynolds family is quite strict, and if I don't see you, my dad will kill me!]

Cassie sent another crying emoji.

His phone kept ringing with the message notification sound as he read them, which annoyed him.

Nathaniel's gentlemanly demeanor was selective. In the past, it was reserved only for Sheena.

Nathaniel laughed heartily. "Adora, you're so smart. You're even helping me save on meals."

Adora beamed with joy, saying, "Mommy and Daddy don't give me much allowance because I'm only five, but Uncle Howard said I'm the future heiress of the Lawson Group, so I'll be very rich in the future. I can help take care of you when you're old and even on your deathbed!"

Nathaniel felt warmed by her words but could not help but correct her choice of words.

"Taking care of me is fine, but we can skip the 'deathbed' part. I'm still young and want to spend many more decades with you, Adora. I don't want to be six feet under so soon."

"Of course, Uncle Nate!"

"Good girl," Nathaniel cooed gently.

He replied to Cassie's message, agreeing to meet her for lunch as per Adora's wishes.

As he typed, Adora danced anxiously beside him, exclaiming, "Uncle Nate, remember to tell her that I'll choose the restaurant, but she's treating us and paying the bill! I want to pick the most expensive restaurant in Svelton and make her go broke!"

"Alright. Anything you say, Adora."

Two hours later, Cassie had reserved a private dining room at the fancy hotel as Adora requested.
