Chapter 149

After knowing what had happened, Margaret was a little fearful. She said to Christopher, “I got it. I’ll put it

in the backyard tomorrow and won’t let it into the house. Will that do? As long as it’s in the backyard, you

can’t do anything to it, okay? Deal?”

Christopher felt uncomfortable after the whole ordeal of touching the cat. He went toward the stairs and

called for Elizabeth to change the bedsheets. After that, he went into the bathroom and slammed the

door closed.

When Elizabeth went upstairs, she looked at Tabby and instantly understood what had transpired. She

dared not utter a word but quickly changed Christopher’s bedsheets. After that, Elizabeth picked up

Tabby and placed it in the art room. Only after locking the windows and door of the art room did she

finally relax.

After getting awakened by the incident, Margaret could not fall asleep again. The sound of running water

coming from the bathroom was incomparably loud in the otherwise silent night. It was almost too much

for her ears to bear. Finally, the sound stopped after half an hour. Christopher then walked out with a

gloomy expression and a towel around his waist.

Margaret could not be bothered with him at all. She pulled the blanket over her head and tried to sleep.

Suddenly, she felt the bed space next to her dip. Does Christopher want to sleep here tonight? Wait…

He came out of the bathroom in just a towel, didn’t he?

She ended up getting another blanket. Subsequently, the two of them proceeded to sleep on the same

bed under different blankets for the night.

The next day, Christopher was still asleep when Margaret woke up. His blanket had slid down to his

chest, so she peeked at his well-sculpted upper body. Although she had seen his body plenty of times,

the glorious sight was still too much for her to witness this early in the morning, so her cheeks turned red.

As soon as she recalled how he treated Tabby the night before, she instantly pulled Christopher’s blanket

over his head. As if it wasn’t good enough, she even threw her blanket over his head. I’ll let you have a

taste of being suffocated like how you mistreated Tabby!

Margaret’s mood improved after all of that. She then hopped downstairs to have her breakfast and told

Elizabeth to switch Tabby’s area from the art room to the backyard. She also asked Elizabeth not to let

Tabby into the house no matter what. After settling Tabby down in the yard, she left for the office,

Afier an hour, Christopher stuck his head out from under the blankets. He found it strange when he

noticed his entire body had gotten covered. Sweat had coated his body from the unbearable warmth at

that point. It even caused him to have a nightmare as it felt a mountain had crushed him from above.

At Soaring Design, Casper just finished a meeting. He came out of the room and said, “This is a contract

with Lewis Corporation. Who wants to get them to sign it? I won’t be able to since I have another

appointment this afternoon. Besides, I arranged for it to be a dinner meeting. This is a once-in-a-lifetime

opportunity that you won’t come by again! I need two volunteers, so discuss it amongst yourselves. Once

you’ve decided, report to Ms. Black.”

Everyone jumped for joy upon hearing Casper’s words. No one would willingly miss out on a chance to

have dinner with Christopher. All the employees felt excited by the news, except Margaret, since she was

sick and tired of being around Christopher.

It was an undeniable truth that Margaret was Christopher’s wife. Even if other people were to disagree,

they did not have the guts to say anything.

Someone then asked, “Is it necessary to discuss this? Let’s just send Mrs. Lewis. She’ll take one spot

and bring whoever she wants as a plus-one.”

Another person cut in, “Oh, stop it. Their relationship is rather tense now. You shouldn’t make such a joke

at this time.”

It was then that Casper cleared his throat loudly. “I don’t really care who you send. Just make a decision

amongst yourselves.”

With that, he returned to his office. As the saying went, out of sight, out of mind.

Margaret could tell that the two colleagues were mocking her. Everyone knew that she cheated on

Christopher. The entire family might even be in turmoil because of that issue, yet the two made light of

the situation. It was clear that they wanted to embarrass her.

Back then, Margaret would have ignored it. However, she was not as good-natured as before. “If you

guys want to dine with him, go ahead. I’m already sick and tired of seeing him for dinner every night.

Besides, you’ll get a decent sum of money if you manage to sign the contract. I’ll leave the opportunity to

you guys then. You’re welcome.”

However, she knew the employees would not perceive her offer as generosity. Instead, they would think

that she was showing off. Even though everyone kept quiet, Margaret knew what they were thinking

deep inside their hearts.
