Chapter 43

Margaret did not say anything and dragged Jodie away. Casper‘s gaze is way too terrifying. I hope he can‘t tell that I‘m trying to escape...

After watching them disappear from his sight, Casper walked into the private dining room Christopher

and Megan were in. Then, he brought up the topic casually, “I bumped into some familiar faces on the

way here.”

Christopher was disinterested in the topic, while Megan blinked her eyes innocently and asked, “Who did

you meet?”

Casper smiled lightly. “Margaret and her friend.”

Megan froze as she shut her mouth in annoyance, observing Christopher‘s expression. When she saw

his indifferent expression, she was filled with glee. It looks like he doesn‘t care so much about Margaret, after all. However, I would pay to see her reaction after seeing Christopher and me grabbing lunch!

Casper wanted to wipe Christopher‘s calm expression off his face. Thus, he continued, “Her friend

started to condemn me out of nowhere, demanding me increase the company‘s lunchtime to two hours.

She mentioned Margaret ate hastily because the break was too short. Weirdly, nobody has complained

about having insufficient time to eat lunch. It‘s not like they don‘t have enough time to eat another meal. I

wonder why they left in such a hurry...”

Christopher‘s body stiffened up, and his eyes darkened.

Casper finally had a sense of satisfaction seeing his reaction and stopped talking.

When the waiter started to serve the dishes, Christopher suddenly grabbed his jacket and headed to the

door. “I have something to do, so I‘ll take my leave.”

Immediately, Megan grabbed his sleeves. “Christopher! You promised you would accompany me for

lunch today!”

A gentle smile appeared on Christopher‘s face, but his gaze said otherwise. “I‘ll make it up to you next

time. Okay?”

Megan understood Christopher disliked her being too clingy. Hence, she decided it was the right time to

act coquettishly. Thus, she stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his cheeks. “Don‘t lie to me.”

However, Christopher‘s expression turned cold as he turned to leave without a word.

Megan was taken aback. It‘s not like we have never done something as intimate as this before. So why

this reaction?

It took her some time to snap back to her senses. Then, she sat back down and asked with a sweet

voice, “Casper, did you tell Christopher about me visiting the company to look for Margaret?”

Casper shrugged. “I don‘t have that much time on my hands. That matter‘s between the two of you,

anyway.”

Megan heaved a sigh of relief. “Then, do you think Christopher likes Margaret? You know him best, so

you should know what he‘s thinking. Please tell me, okay?“.

Although Casper seemed calm, he secretly cursed Christopher for leaving this mess for him to handle.

He hated dealing with women. “I really don‘t know about this. However, Margaret is his legal wife, so it

doesn‘t matter if he likes her or not. Don‘t expect too much of Christopher. Accept it if he treats you well

but demand nothing more from him.”

Megan understood what he was trying to say. Faking obliviousness, she demanded in a coy manner,

“Since Christopher is gone, let‘s eat together.”.

Goosebumps formed on Casper‘s skin upon listening to how sweet her voice was. If Megan did not have

a pretty appearance, he would have left right that instant. However, when he looked closely, he noticed

that she seemed somewhat similar to Margaret, but only a little. “All right. I still need to return to the

company, so I‘ll send you back home after lunch.”

Meanwhile, Christopher ordered the car to stop by the road opposite Soaring Design. Then, he peered at

the floor that Margaret was working on through the car window.

“Mr. Lewis?” Noah could not help but ask after noticing Christopher being motionless for quite a

moment.

Christopher lowered his eyes and dialed Margaret‘s number. “Let‘s go grab lunch.”

When Margaret received his call, she felt rather shocked. Isn‘t he eating with Megan? What‘s the point of calling me over?

“I‘ve already eaten. You and–” For some reason, Margaret did not want to see him and Megan acting

lovey–dovey in front of her.

However, the man hung up the call before she could finish her sentence.
