Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1698

Mavis thought Kristen resembled Sheena, and she seemed to understand why Nathaniel had suddenly become distant toward her.

If that were the case, she would not continue to chase after someone who was not reciprocating her feelings.

Mavis took a deep breath, suppressing her stubbornness and pride, and left Nathaniel's office.

…

From that moment on, Mavis no longer initiated contact with Nathaniel except for necessary work interactions.

Days passed, and people in the company started noticing their situation.

Rumors were easy to breed in the workplace.

Nathaniel and Mavis, who used to come in and out of the company together, were suddenly not seen together anymore.

Some even noticed that Mavis intentionally avoided Nathaniel, which sparked curiosity among their colleagues.

Mavis had risen from being a small intern to being Nathaniel's assistant, which had already rubbed some people the wrong way.

She was like a thorn in the side of the women in the company.

After all, everyone harbored a secret desire to be with an outstanding man like Nathaniel.

His presence had set a high standard for potential partners among the female employees, even though they were aware of their own social standings.

Nevertheless, none dared to act foolishly and make a move on him.

That did not stop them from thinking that Mavis had no outstanding family background or exceptional skills. Aside from her beauty, she seemed to lack any other remarkable qualities that would justify her presence by Nathaniel's side.

Such a person was unlikely to win the admiration of those women with their unrealistic fantasies.

With the two being on bad terms, it stirred up unwarranted thoughts among some.

A woman in a white blouse saw Mavis walking out of Nathaniel's office with a cold expression and quickly pulled aside someone nearby, asking, "What's going on? Is Mavis really falling out of favor with Mr. Nicholls?"

The woman's face lit up with excitement, like a gossip-hungry paparazzo.

The woman she grabbed was admiring her freshly done nails, offering a snarky explanation, "Well, she probably did something to upset Mr. Nicholls, and now they're giving each other the silent treatment."

Anyone could see that something had gone wrong between them.

It was quite surprising.

As days passed by, their abnormal interaction pattern drew more and more attention within the company.

One noon, a mocking topic was the center of discussion among various group chats in the company.

[Have you all noticed? That wretch has finally met her match. Her attempts to seduce the Final Boss clearly weren't enough, and now she's been kicked to the curb. She had it coming.]

People refrained from mentioning names directly, using aliases instead.

Those watching from the sidelines could easily crack the situation.

[Absolutely, they haven't been seen coming and leaving the office together for ages. She must have done something to make him dislike her.]

[A tramp like her should've been kicked out of the company long ago. She's been so full of herself—it's about time she got what she deserved.]

The chat group admins ignored the gossip, too lazy to bother with such petty matters.

After all, humans' love for gossip was universal, and most enjoyed kicking others while they were down.

During the whole time when Mavis and Nathaniel were not on speaking terms, the company was abuzz with idle talk and whispers.
