Chapter 28

Her gaze was not fixed on the woman‘s complacent face but on the high heels on her feet. Although

Christopher forbade anyone from making noise on that floor, he permitted the woman to wear high

heels.

“It‘s you again. What kind of relationship do you have with Christopher? Even though I don‘t know you,

I‘m starting to despise you. Ever since I returned to the country, I have always seen you with Christopher.

It‘s so frustrating.” The woman‘s voice was sweet even though her words were harsh. There was no way

anyone could be mad at her and take her seriously even when she raised her voice in a fit of rage.

“I‘m here to deliver some document,” Margaret said calmly.

“I don‘t care. Christopher‘s mine. No one can take him away from me.” The woman placed a gold card

into her limited edition handbag and snorted before leaving.

For over thirty minutes, Margaret had been waiting outside the office, and the secretary had yet to return.

She was about to drop the document and walk out the door. However, when she noticed the documents

encryption printed on the cover, she hesitated again. If something went wrong, she could not afford to

bear the consequences.

Meanwhile, in the office, Christopher‘s expression was cold as he watched the surveillance video on the

laptop. He was curious to see how long she could stand outside.

Two hours later, he slammed the laptop shut in frustration and made a call with a sullen face. “Tell her

you‘re on leave today and request that she send the document to my office.”

Two minutes later, Margaret received a strange call. She lowered her voice and answered the call.

“Hello?”

“Hello, are you from Soaring Design? I‘m Mr. Lewis‘ secretary. I‘m on leave today. If you have any

important documents, please hand them directly to Mr. Lewis at the CEO‘s office.”

Before Margaret could even speak, the person on the line had already hung up on

her.

She took a deep breath and knocked helplessly on the door, Christopher‘s attractive yet indifferent voice

sounded from the inside. “Come in.”

As she pushed the door open, Margaret entered. After placing the document on his desk, she said

formally, “Mr. Lewis, this is the document from our company. Please review it.”

There was a hint of gloominess in his eyes, and he tossed the document to the side. “Assume that I have

seen it.”

Of course, she knew him well. He was in a bad mood, and that was all the more reason why she had to

make sure he read through the document. She would lose her position at the company if something went

wrong after she left. “Mr. Lewis, please have a look at it.”

Christopher leaned back slightly in his chair, folded his arms across his chest, and stared at her with an

icy gaze. “What if I don‘t?”

Margaret suspected that he was deliberately making things difficult for her. “Well... You can review it

when you‘re in the mood of doing so and let me know if you have any questions afterward.”

“Get out!” He shut his eyes. Due to the use of excessive force in clenching his fists, his fingers turned

pale

Before this, Margaret would turn around and leave, but this time she stood with her back straightened.

“Mr. Lewis, please do not bring personal matters to work. You can be frank with me if you‘re not satisfied

with my work.”

Upon hearing that, he abruptly opened his eyes and glared at her. He curled his lips into a smirk and

said, “Are you trying to teach me how to behave?”

Margaret pursed her lips and replied, “No. I‘ll take my leave then.”

As soon as she turned around, a pen flew past her ear and crashed directly into the office door. The ink

leaked out of the pen‘s crack and splattered across the floor.

His behavior indicated that he was enraged. She did not dare to move, and her body was trembling

slightly. In spite of her best efforts, she was unable to overcome her fear of him.

“Come here!” Christopher‘s voice contained a hint of anger, which sounded to her like a premonition of

danger.
