Chapter 150

Eventually, Leila and an elite from the design department got assigned to attend the contract signing.

The two departed to Lewis Corporation that afternoon. Once they left, a tattler could not help but blurt

out, “Margaret, you’re Christopher’s lawful wife. Aren’t you jealous that some other woman is having a

meal with your husband?”

Margaret did not even raise her head. “Why should I be jealous? A dog will always be loyal to its owner.”

What! I can’t believe she’s comparing Christopher to a dog! Hearing that, the gossipmonger felt taken

aback and shut her mouth.

Casper, who was on his way out of the company, burst into laughter upon hearing Margaret’s comment.

He immediately called Christopher once he was out of the elevator to inform the latter about what he had

heard.

On the other end of the call, Christopher’s face darkened. “Quit it, Casper. If you keep giggling like some

unhinged child, I won’t sign the contract from your company. Let’s see if you’ll still be laughing then.”

That instantly made Casper contain his laughter. “Ahem! But I didn’t do anything except inform you about

what I heard from Margaret.”

Christopher’s lips curled into a grin as he said, “Casper, get Margaret to meet with me later for the

contract signing. Otherwise, I won’t attend the dinner meeting. I refuse to see anyone else from your

company except her. There’s still half an hour to go before getting off work, so you have plenty of time to

decide what to do.”

At that, Casper immediately wiped the smile off his face. “Christopher, you’ve got to be joking. What do I

do if Margaret says no? Fire her? She’s your wife! What can I do? Besides, she made it loud and clear

that she got tired of eating with you. She doesn’t care about the commission from the contract as well.

Don’t you understand? She’s trying to avoid you!”

Christopher scoffed, “That’s all I have to say. Goodbye.”

The call was then cut off. Casper immediately bolted back into the building while phoning to instruct Leila

and the other employee to return to the company.

He soon arrived at the office and walked directly to Margaret’s seat. “Margaret, I need your help with

something urgent. Christopher has specially requested for you to attend the contract signing. I may be

his friend, but there’s no stopping him once he’s

made his mind. As an employee of the company, please set aside your grudge against him and attend

the contract signing? Just this once?”

“I’m not going.”

Casper was about to lose his mind. “Can you two not involve me in your arguments? When you and

Christopher decide to reconcile in the future, I’ll still be in deep trouble because of your current tantrums!

Don’t you know I can at least earn ten million from this contract? Ten million!”

Margaret replied absentmindedly, “Tsk. As if your family is short of this small amount of money.”

That caused Casper’s countenance to darken as he spoke sternly. “My business has nothing to do with

my family. They may not need the money, but I do.”

At that, Margaret took a deep breath. “Call him now to see what he’s up to.”

Casper did as told and called Christopher, but the latter had not picked up. “I can’t do anything now. He

won’t answer my calls. Why don’t you attend with Leila? I have another urgent matter to deal with now.

We’ll discuss it later on. What’s important is professionally troubleshooting the problem, so leave your

emotions out of it.”

Although reluctant, Margaret nodded.

Casper later explained the situation when Leila and the other employee returned. Although the sudden

change did not bother Leila, the employee’s face darkened as she snidely remarked, “I can’t believe acts

of pulling strings exist in this company.”

Casper was a little annoyed. “It isn’t an act of pulling strings. This arrangement is what the other party

requested. Can you reject our wealthy clients? No. So, you should comply and go along with it, okay?”

He had said everything that was on Margaret’s mind. Hence, the latter remained silent.

Not long passed before Leila and Margaret took the company’s company car to Lewis Corporation. The

latter held back the urge to curse throughout the drive. I’ll go along with discussing the contract for now.

Since it’s a dinner meeting, I’m sure Christopher won’t sign the contract in his office, Once he signs, I’m

leaving straight away. There’s no way I’m dining with him!
