Chapter 151
When Leila and Margaret arrived at the forty-sixth floor of Lewis Corporation, Christopher’s secretary,
Emily, placed two pairs of slippers in front of them. “Please wear these.”
Leila 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 meal later 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,

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 collar 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, Leila 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, Leila and Margaret walked together while Christopher walked alongside
Emily, whom he had asked to join him.
Leila 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.
Leila decided not to dwell on the matter but suddenly felt pity for Margaret.
Seeing through Leila’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, Leila 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 a commotion in the
company, you’re still standing firm in your position as Mrs. Lewis now. Indeed, you aren’t pitiful at all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough, 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 Leila’s honesty. Hence, she asked in return, “Are you curious too?”
Leila 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.”
Leila 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 Leila put on professional smiles as they entered the building with Christopher.
