Mavis had not expected Nathaniel to go to such lengths for her.
After all, the Reynolds family was also a prominent household, and having an extra ally would always be better than having an additional enemy.
Was Nathaniel the type of person who said one thing but did the other?
Maybe he secretly cared about her, but he did not show it openly.
Perhaps he had some other concerns, leading him to intentionally neglect her…
Well, Mavis secretly hoped for those possibilities.
"I understand. I'll find a chance to thank him personally. Thank you for being honest with me," Mavis responded.
"You're welcome," Tommy said with a warm smile. "Ms. Olsen, I heard you haven't found a suitable job yet. If you ever need assistance, feel free to contact me anytime. Here's my card."
He handed her a business card.
Mavis realized she had been unemployed lately and could use some help finding a reliable job.
As Tommy had been working at the Nicholls Group for a long time, she believed he surely had great connections.
Hence, she ultimately accepted the business card and tucked it into her jeans pocket.
While Mavis packed her stuff, Tommy shared many stories about Nathaniel with her, mostly praising him.
For instance, when Nathaniel first became CEO, the entire senior management of the Nicholls Group did not accept his authority, but he managed to win them over with his capabilities.
Tommy also recounted Nathaniel's ruthless and decisive actions in the business world, which were exactly the same as Elliot's assertive tactics.
Mavis enjoyed listening to these stories, but she could not help but feel conflicted.
She found herself increasingly unable to understand Nathaniel.
She had initially thought he would be a warm, gentlemanly type of boyfriend, but he turned out to be colder than she had imagined.
Moreover, he was simply terrifying when he was upset.
Yet, he would also stand up for her and deal with Cassie on her behalf…
The bodyguard and driver also helped load the remaining suitcases into the car, and soon, the small apartment was emptied.
Over an hour later, Mavis returned to the Nicholls residence with the bodyguard and driver while Tommy headed back to the company to report to Nathaniel.
Seymour had been waiting outside, knowing she was coming back.
Through the car window, Mavis gazed at the classic yet luxurious mansion.
When she left in the morning, her focus was on getting the marriage certificate from the courthouse, so she did not pay much attention to the Nicholls residence.
Hence, she only realized just how extravagant the building was then.
The bodyguard opened the car door for her.
Standing before her, Seymour looked at her with a kind gaze and said gently, "Ms. Olsen, Mr. Nicholls has informed me that you're his newly hired personal servant. He requests you to serve him all day. I've prepared a small bed for you in his bedroom. You can take a look whenever you're ready."
Mavis was taken aback, asking in disbelief, "A personal… servant?"
"That's right. Do you have any concerns?"
