An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 28

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.

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
