Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1635

Mavis's heart raced as she got lost in his deep, blue eyes.

"Did that guy hurt you?"

Hearing his concern for her, a warm feeling spread through Mavis's chest, and she shook her head.

"No, he didn't."

As the music reached its climax, their dance quickened.

They moved effortlessly in the center of the dance floor, with others giving them space.

When the music stopped, everyone else halted too.

Mavis remained in Nathaniel's embrace, feeling his strong, reassuring heartbeat.

As the pain in her ankle worsened, Mavis said, "Mr. Nicholls, I need to go to the restroom."

She had been enduring the pain while they danced and needed to use cold water and wet tissues to soothe it before she embarrassed herself.

As she turned, Nathaniel grabbed her wrist.

Mavis looked at him, puzzled.

"Outside the office, don't call me Mr. Nicholls."

Nathaniel disliked the formal title, feeling it created a distance between them.

Mavis smiled and nodded.

"Got it, Nate."

Only then did Nathaniel let her go.

She carefully made her way to the restroom, lifting her skirt to avoid dirtying the gown.

Beauty was indeed a pain.

While the high heels were gorgeous, they were equally torturous.

When she took off her shoes, she saw her ankle had developed a blister.

She lightly touched it, wincing in pain.

She turned quietly and headed back to the car, preferring to wait there until the event was over.

…

While discussing work with Nathaniel, Sheena could not help but mention Mavis again.

"Ms. Olsen is a wonderful person. Even Adora likes her. Don't let her slip away."

Nathaniel gave a wry smile and shook his head. "Nana, you know me… I'm…"

He wanted to say he was not someone who could easily shift his feelings to another person.

Although he did not dislike Mavis, his feelings for her were still limited to indifference.

Their relationship was purely contractual.

Sheena decided not to press the issue further and changed the subject. "Asher's health has improved a lot recently. I've even included some outdoor activities for him."

Mentioning Asher brought a flicker of guilt to Nathaniel's eyes, and he lowered his gaze.

"Nana, Asher's request to renovate the aquarium is quite ambitious and challenging. I haven't made any progress yet. Is he upset with me?"
