Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1461

Tommy understood that Nathaniel just wanted him to step in and offer Mavis a way out.

So, he went along, saying, "It's Ms. Ol… Mavis's first day on the job, so, understandably, she might not know the ropes yet. Let's wait until her probation period ends before deciding whether she stays or goes."

Nathaniel's expression softened a bit.

"Since you're vouching for her, let's consider this a warning. If I catch her slipping up again, she's out."

"Yes, Mr. Nicholls." Tommy nodded.

Seeing Mavis's lack of reaction, he signaled and reminded her, "You better thank Mr. Nicholls."

Mavis bowed deeply. "Thank you, Mr. Nicholls."

Nathaniel's gaze lingered on her momentarily, then he turned and left.

Once he and Tommy were in the elevator, the employees on the entire floor finally let out a sigh of relief.

Diana had already been reduced to tears from the scolding, dabbing at her eyes with tissues.

Other colleagues who were friendly with her immediately came over to console her.

She sniffled, blaming Mavis between her sobs.

"It's all your fault! You had to ask me so many questions, and now I got scolded by Mr. Nicholls and almost got fired! He will surely cut my salary, and I'm sure he thinks even less of me now…"

Mavis did feel guilty for dragging her into it.

"I'm sorry. If this ends up costing you part of your pay, I'll give you that money from my internship salary next month."

Diana felt a little better knowing that.

However, seeing Mavis so accommodating made her believe Mavis was a pushover.

"And what about the emotional distress from getting scolded by Mr. Nicholls? How are you going to compensate me for that? Don't get all smug just because Tommy stood up for you!"

Mavis straightened up and stopped arguing, returning to her keyboard to input data.

Diana grew even more irritated at her silence.

"What's with the attitude? I tried to help you out of kindness, yet you got me into trouble. A half-hearted apology isn't going to cut it!"
