Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1699

Of course, Mavis was the only target. No one dared to gossip about Nathaniel unless they wanted to be fired.

Nathaniel never stood up for Mavis or intervened to stop the rumors, which only fueled their spread.

That afternoon, a few employees gathered in the restroom, discussing the situation.

"How does Mavis have the nerve to stay by Mr. Nicholls' side? If it were me, I would have resigned long ago."

"She wants to be Mrs. Nicholls, obviously. Being his assistant is the first step to getting close to him. Do you think she's stupid?"

"She doesn't realize she's out of his league. Who does she think she is anyway? She needs to stop being delusional."

"Well, Mr. Nicholls finally lost interest. It was only a matter of time."

"If it were me, I'd just do my job quietly, find a man who's my equal, and marry him. People need to recognize their own limits."

They chattered away at the sink, seemingly oblivious that Mavis was in the stall behind them.

Listening to their conversation, Mavis clenched her fists.

She felt a strong urge to confront these gossipers, but her rational side held her back.

Nathaniel was a prominent figure in the company, and causing a scene might only backfire on her.

Once the restroom was quiet, Mavis was ready to leave, only to find the bathroom door locked from the outside.

No matter how much she twisted the handle, it would not budge.

Did those women do this on purpose?

Mavis pressed her face against the door and called out, "Is anyone there? I'm locked in here. Can someone help me open the door?"

With the door locked from the outside, there was no way she could open it from within.

She pounded on the door, but the hallway remained eerily silent.

Mavis checked the time and noticed that it was already lunch break.

Most employees were likely napping, and few would come to this restroom.

Tired of the constant gossip, she had chosen a more secluded restroom, not expecting something like this to happen.

Mavis pulled out her phone to call for help but found no signal, so she could only wait.
