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

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.
