Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1494

Nathaniel drove slowly through the pouring rain, and squeaking wipers only added to his irritation.

After two kilometers, his sharp eyes caught sight of a slender figure sitting by the roadside.

It was too dark to see clearly who it was, so he parked the car and went to investigate with an umbrella in hand.

…

Meanwhile, Mavis's phone had died.

She had managed to get off the subway but got lost because she had never walked these winding streets before. She had always taken a car to the Nicholls residence.

Moreover, the rainy night made the roads slippery, and the darkness did not help.

She had walked far too much, and her stomach had been growling for hours.

Lost and exhausted, Mavis sat on the deserted street to rest.

Suddenly, a car's headlights shone on her face.

She buried her head in her knees, feeling downhearted.

Half an hour ago, she had still hoped that Nathaniel's car would appear to pick her up.

Yet, none of the passing cars was him.

The accumulated disappointment had worn her down, and she planned to rest a bit before continuing to find her way.

Mavis's thin frame was drenched, her hair stuck to her face, and her eyelashes glistened with raindrops.

She looked like a pitiful, abandoned puppy, utterly miserable.

Not only that, but she was so hungry that she was starting to lose consciousness.

When she sensed the car's headlights stopping behind her and heard hurried footsteps splashing through the rain, she did not react at first.

"Mavis!"

The familiar, angry voice of a man called out through the rain.

Startled, she looked up and saw a man in a dark blue suit running toward her, holding a black umbrella.

His expression was grim, and his perfect physique was unmistakable.
