"Is there something you need?" Mavis asked.
Kristen smiled ingratiatingly. "Mavis, I know you're a good person and that you care about the company. We really were discussing work. Can you not tell Mr. Nicholls about this?"
Mavis looked at her incredulously, her gaze sharp.
Seeing this, Kristen quickly added, "It's not that I'm scared. You know Mr. Nicholls won't do anything to me. But if my coworkers get in trouble because of me, I'd feel bad. Even if there's a penalty, can you talk to him and make sure that only I get punished?"
Mavis could not help but scoffed inside.
Nathaniel punishing Kristen?
If she complained, Nathaniel would probably blame her instead.
She was not that naive.
Suppressing her anger, Mavis said nothing and brushed past Kristen.
She had not gone far when Kristen caught up and entered the elevator with her.
Kristen pressed the same floor button and, seeing Mavis's surprised look, beamed brightly.
"I also need to talk to Nate. Let's go together."
Fine, whatever.
Being in the same space as Kristen was suffocating, and Mavis had never thought an elevator ride could feel so long.
When the doors opened, Mavis quickly walked out in her high heels.
Kristen tried to keep up but nearly twisted her ankle.
Entering the office, Mavis placed the files on the desk and turned to leave.
As she opened the door again, she saw Kristen standing there, looking pitiful.
"Mavis, you walked so fast. Am I really that unpleasant? Do you dislike me that much?"
Mavis stared at her coldly, saying nothing.

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....
