Mavis watched as the couple publicly showed off their love without a care.
She felt envious, but she could only envy them from afar.
Sheena was so outstanding, and she deserved a man as exceptional as Elliot to love her.
Walking beside Mavis, Nathaniel noticed her expression and whispered, "You seem to have a lot on your mind. It's best not to show them here."
Mavis understood and immediately put on a smile.
Elliot set up the fire pit in the backyard and prepared some barbecue tools.
On the other hand, Sheena pulled Mavis to sit on the backyard swing, watching the two busy men from afar.
"Tonight, you just need to chat and have fun. Leave all the heavy lifting to them."
Mavis smiled, but deep down, she felt a great sense of difference.
She was in a dilemma.
She wanted to talk to Sheena about what happened at work, but she also felt their relationship was not that close, and there was no reason to confide in her.
"Mae, are you feeling okay? You don't look too good," Sheena asked, noticing Mavis's distress.
The emotions she had just suppressed came rushing back, and Mavis suddenly became teary-eyed.
Concerned, Sheena reached for her hand and asked, "What happened? Did he bully you?"
Mavis was afraid Sheena would misunderstand, so she quickly composed herself. "No, Sheena. Nate is good to me. I-I just…"
She struggled to find the right words.
Should she really talk to Sheena about the trivial matters at work?
Sheena patted her shoulder and assured her, "Whatever you can't tell Nathaniel, you can tell me. We're both girls. We can empathize with each other better."
Mavis looked up and was about to speak when she noticed Nathaniel's gaze shifting toward them.
He probably did not want her to say too much.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
