Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1640

Whenever Gabrielle asked, Mavis always brushed it off, saying she was just getting some exercise.

Recently, Nathaniel had not offered to accompany her.

What changed?

Though she could not understand Nathaniel's thoughts, Mavis did not overthink it.

She finished up at her desk and left work.

Nathaniel was talking on the phone in his luxury car, and Mavis sensibly kept her distance.

Noticing her from afar, Nathaniel ended his call, his expression cold.

Are you waiting for me to come and get you?"

Used to his cold demeanor, Mavis walked over without a word.

As the car drove down the road, neither spoke.

Only the sound of the wind filled the silence.

Nearing the Nicholls residence, Mavis finally broke the silence. "Why did you decide to come home with me today?"

The car came to a sudden stop, and Mavis jerked forward.

If not for the seatbelt, she would have hit the windshield.

Nathaniel's expression remained unchanged, but his voice was icy as he said, "Care to explain the rumors at the office?"

Mavis's heart raced as she replied, "Tommy and I are innocent. It's just work-related interactions. I don't know how to stop the rumors from spreading."

That was the truth.

Nathaniel's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing.

If she did not know how to handle it, why did she not come to him sooner?

Did she have to wait until he confronted her?

Nathaniel knew Mavis would not dare get involved with Tommy.

If it had not been for him frequently sending Tommy to deliver documents to her, these rumors would not have started.

Ultimately, he was the root cause of this mess.

However, what angered him was that Mavis did not think to come to him for help.

Hearing that Mavis was going out with others, Gabrielle pouted.

"Really, Mae? Do you not consider me a friend? You never go shopping with me."

Mavis could not help but feel exasperated.

Did Gabrielle not realize how extensive their family's empire was?

Practically every mall in Svelton had a Nicholls Group-owned store.

Each time Gabrielle went shopping, it probably felt like she was going through her own closets, right?

Mavis's wallet could not handle those high-end brands Gabrielle frequented.

Nevertheless, Mavis could not say this out loud.

She diverted the conversation with a casual excuse.

When Nathaniel entered the house, Gabrielle was about to ask him something, but he went straight upstairs without glancing at her or giving her a chance to speak.

Gabrielle frowned and asked, "Mae, are you sure you didn't have a fight with Nate?"
