Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1633

Mavis was already quite nervous, and being in such an unfamiliar setting for the first time only made it worse.

She could not help but squeeze Nathaniel's arm.

Nonetheless, she forced a smile and nodded at Jesse out of courtesy.

Noticing Jesse's gaze still lingering on Mavis, Nathaniel pulled her closer, wrapping an arm around her waist.

His tone was cold and commanding as he continued, "Mr. Hendricks, it seems our companies share different virtues. Let's not waste each other's time. Feel free to enjoy the rest of your evening."

With that, he led Mavis to another part of the hall and made a quick call to Tommy.

"Terminate all partnerships with the Hendricks Group."

Terminate all partnerships?

Mavis was stunned.

Was he really going to end a beneficial business relationship just because Jesse had looked at her inappropriately?

From what she knew, the Hendricks Group and the Nicholls Group had always had a great relationship, and such a sudden decision could potentially harm the company.

She glanced up at Nathaniel uncertainly, mumbling, "Mr. Nicholls…"

He looked at her, his gaze still cold.

Noticing her confusion, he patiently explained, "You're my companion tonight. If Mr. Hendricks disrespects you in my presence, he disrespects me. Such a person doesn't deserve to be associated with the Nicholls Group."

His words made it clear that he was using Jesse as an example to establish his authority.

Even though it was a power move, it made Mavis' heart feel warm.

She nodded and softly said, "Thank you, Nate."

This time, she did not call him Mr. Nicholls, thanking him as a friend for his gesture.

Hearing the change in how she addressed him, Nathaniel's eyes flickered, but he said nothing.

He simply led her further into the hall.

The music at the banquet suddenly shifted from a slow, serene melody to an alluring dance tune.

Mavis's body stiffened slightly.
