An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 

Margaret hesitated for two seconds before turning around to walk toward Christopher. She gripped the hem of her clothes and looked at him warily

Christopher pulled her into his arms and tightened his grip on her waist, making her unable to move, then said in an icy tone, What did you just call me? Since youre separating it so clearly, you should probably change how you refer to me at home.” 

Recalling how Margaret would rather stand outside his office for over two hours than meet him in his office, a burst of rage boiled within him

At that moment, Margaret finally understood why Christopher was mad. II just dont want you to think that Im being unprofessional.” 

Christopher rested his chin on Margarets shoulder, and his magnetic voice flowed into her ears like a tune. Is that so? Are you standing outside my office for over two hours because of that, too?” 

After being called out by Christopher, Margaret felt guilty and stuttered, TThats not why I did that. II just didnt want to bother you because you seemed busy.” 

Don‘t you already know if Im busy?Christophers words implied he knew Margaret saw the woman who came looking for him

Margaret was rendered speechless and did not know what to say next, so she simply lowered her head

Seeing her reaction, Christopher furrowed his brows. He hated the look on her face when she fell silent. Fine. You can leave now. Ill look at the documents. Also, Ill be home for dinner tonight.” 

Margaret felt the weight lift off her back and moved away from him immediately, then fled the building as fast as she could

However, she could not understand why Christopher would inform her that he would be home for dinner. Doesn‘t he have to meet that woman

Margaret could not help but feel anxious whenever she thought about that woman

Time flew by and it was time to get off work. Everyone in the company was leaving, and Margaret slowly tidied up her belongings. Just when she rose from her seat, Gavin got closer to her and said, Lets have dinner together, Margaret.” 

Margaret shook her head decisively. No thanks, I have to go home.” 

Gavin did not want to give up and grabbed Margaret by her arm, then insisted. Youve rejected me many times, and its rude if you do it again. Even if we arent dating, as your superior, I can still treat you to a meal, right?” 

Margaret stared at Gavin for a few seconds. He was a young, successful gentleman who was quite handsome. However, he was not her type at all. Nonetheless, Margaret would not even think of having anything to do with him. So, she rejected him resolutely, Sorry, but Im married.” 

Gavin did not believe her at all and boasted confidently, Haha. Looks like youre going to say anything you like just for the sake of avoiding me. First, you just passed your probation in our company, so its almost impossible that a girl in her twenties like you to be married. Besides, you clearly stated that youre single in our employee registration form.” 

Margaret wrestled herself from Gavins grip and muttered, Mr. Carter, please refrain from doing so. If it‘s about what I wrote in my employee registration form, please edit it for me. Now, if youll excuse me, I really have to go home!”
