Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2225

Mavis's guilt over being late instantly vanished, and she walked to the opposite side of Nathaniel's table.

As she was about to sit, Nathaniel tapped the table twice and asked, "It's just us here. Is it necessary to sit so far away?"

His hint could not have been clearer, but Mavis pretended not to understand.

"Mr. Nicholls, you said we should separate business and personal matters. As a business partner here to sign a contract, I should sit across from you."

Nathaniel did not argue, silently agreeing.

However, the conference room was too quiet. With just the two of them, it created an awkward atmosphere.

Unable to bear the silence, Mavis spoke first.

"Weren't we supposed to sign a contract? Why are you alone?"

"I'm enough," he replied, then asked, "Where's Evan?"

"I sent him back to Vraeyce. Wasn't that what you wanted when you had Tommy hint at it? Surely you know why he's not here today?"

Though her words carried a hint of sarcasm, they sounded pleasant to Nathaniel's ears.

Without that annoying presence constantly hanging around Mavis, Nathaniel's mood improved considerably.

He slid the finalized contract across the table and asked, "Do you want to review the terms again?"

Mavis carefully read through the contract before signing her name with the sleek black and gold pen. Then, she stood up and extended her hand across the table.

"Mr. Nicholls, here's to a successful partnership. I look forward to working with you."

Nathaniel folded his hands on the table, his piercing blue eyes fixed on her, showing no intention of standing to shake hands.

"You're too far away for a handshake."

Mavis was caught off guard, but considering the generous terms of the contract, she walked around the long table toward Nathaniel.
