Chapter 151


    When Le and Margaret arrived at the forty-sixth floor of Lewis Corporation, Christopher’s secretary,


    Emily, ced two pairs of slippers in front of them. “Please wear these.”


    Le obediently put them on while Margaret did not. Nevertheless, Margaret still knocked and waited for


    Christopher’s permission before entering the office. After all, she was there for the contract signing, not


    to argue with Christopher.


    “Mr. Lewis, this is the draft contract for your perusal. You can read through it slowly as we aren’t in a


    hurry. We can also have a mealter for you to make up your mind,” Margaret said in a formal tone.


    She stood upright, wearing a smile on her face. Margaret looked professional from top to bottom, save


    for the part where she did not wear any indoor slippers.


    Leaning against his chair, Christopher scanned the document thoroughly. His serious look caught


    Margaret by surprise. Initially, she thought that he would deliberately make things difficult for her. Yet,


    Christopher impressed her by keeping their private matters separate from their work. Hence, she felt


    confused why Christopher insisted on her attending the contract signing.


    Moments passed before he put the document aside. “There’s nothing major. Let’s discuss the rest during


    our meal.”


    He then stood up to put on his coat. Seeing that, Emily naturally took it as her cue to fix his cor as if


    she was his wife.


    Margaret swiveled round to look in the other direction, as it was an unbearable sight for her.


    Witnessing the incident, Le secretly scrutinized Emily. That secretary is pretty and has a nice body.


    However, isn’t it a tad inappropriate to tidy a guy’s clothes in front of his wife?


    On the way to the restaurant, Le and Margaret walked together while Christopher walked alongside


    Emily, whom he had asked to join him.


    Le could not help but ask in a quiet voice, “Don’t you think that something’s odd between that


    secretary and Mr. Lewis? I’m not trying to gossip, but I think you should be careful as he is still your


    husband.”


    Margaret shrugged. “That’s none of my business. I don’t want to know what’s going


    on between them.”


    Her sentence carried the weight of tremendous helplessness and frustration. Margaret had no idea how


    many women he was friendly or intimate with when he was not at home. Megan’s presence around


    Christopher was enough to drive Margaret crazy, but there was nothing she could do.


    Le decided not to dwell on the matter but suddenly felt pity for Margaret.


    Seeing through Le’s thoughts, Margaret smiled. “Don’t worry. There’s nothing pitiful about my situation.


    I can easily acquire things that many others can’t, so why would I need pitying?”

    At that, Le smiled too. “That’s true. It isn’t weird for a man like Mr. Lewis to cheat on you. However,


    legally speaking, you’re still his wife. Even though your words previously caused amotion in the


    company, you’re still standing firm in your position as Mrs. Lewis now. Indeed, you aren’t pitiful at all.


    Although, everyone was curious about why Christopher married you despite your background. The


    others were also wondering why he didn’t divorce you, even though you previously cheated on him.”


    Margaret liked Le’s honesty. Hence, she asked in return, “Are you curious too?”


    Le nodded. “Yes.”


    A moment of silence passed before Margaret continued, “An arrogant man like Christopher would never


    acknowledge anyone lesser than him. Yet, he married me, someone without a wealthy background. Plus,


    I don’t have an outstanding appearance or body. Sadly, I can’t give you an answer, as I have no idea why


    he would marry me either.”


    Le pondered for a moment. “I know you didn’t cheat on him. As expected, your level is truly


    unreachable for ordinary people like us. If anyone else were in your position, they would have enjoyed


    their luxurious lives at home. Yet, here you are, still working to make a living.”


    A smile crept up Margaret’s face upon hearing that. It was not long before their car arrived at the


    restaurant, so she and Le put on professional smiles as they entered the building with Christopher.
