Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1663

Mavis was thoroughly startled.

Even so, she dared not to struggle, fearing she might fall.

Feeling the warmth of Nathaniel's body and hearing his heartbeat, she slowly turned and looked up at him with her swollen eyes.

At that moment, her eyes resembled those of a wounded deer, desperately seeking comfort and a warm embrace to soothe all the bullying she had endured.

Nathaniel sat on the couch with Mavis on his lap, and his fingers gently threaded through her blonde hair, soothingly rubbing the back of her head.

Mavis was stunned.

The Nathaniel before her seemed like a different person…

He was so gentle that it felt like a trap.

In his arms, Mavis gradually calmed down.

"Do you feel better after letting it all out?"

Mavis blinked, her lashes wet with tears.

Then, she nodded numbly.

Nathaniel fetched a tissue and gently wiped her tears.

"Do you still want to resign?"

His voice was uncharacteristically soft.

Surprised by his gentleness, Mavis hesitated but then nodded firmly.

Nathaniel understood her concern and released her from his embrace.

He pressed the intercom, instructing Tommy, "Mavis will work on the top floor from now on as my assistant."

Mavis was shocked.

The office gossip was already intense.

If she worked directly with him, it would only get worse.

She did not want to be a burden to him.

After hanging up, Nathaniel looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"What are you worried about? No one will dare to gossip if you work beside me."

Mavis smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Ms. Hayward. Thank you for everything. You've been incredibly generous with your guidance since I was an intern. If it weren't for your mentorship, I'd still be that clueless intern."

Mavis genuinely appreciated Aileen.

Aileen shook her head with a smile. "You don't need to thank anyone. Everything you've achieved is because of your hard work. I just saw a glimpse of my younger self in you. Keep it up. I believe in you."

"Thank you."

After saying goodbye to Aileen, Mavis headed to the top floor with her things.

When HR posted the announcement about Nathaniel's new assistant on the company's website, the entire office buzzed with excitement.

Even those who had not paid much attention to Mavis were now curious about the person who had managed to secure a position so close to Nathaniel.

Before lunch, Mavis's name was on everyone's lips in the office.

"Isn't Mr. Nicholls's assistant team all men? How did someone from logistics get the job?"

"Don't you get it? The girl, Mavis, surely has some tricks up her sleeves. She went from an intern to the CEO's assistant in no time. I heard she's quite attractive too."
