An Impossible Marriage

Casper was unconvinced. “How do you know what I was going to tell you? Are you sure Christopher has told you the same? Would he really tell you something like this, given his personality? No. Don‘t get me wrong. I didn‘t mean that your relationship with him is bad. It‘s just that based on my understanding of him, he won‘t talk so much.”

Margaret could not help rolling her eyes. “Truth is, he behaves exactly like what you said. I also thought that something is wrong with him today.”

Her words piqued Casper‘s interest instantly, “Do you think he finally knows how to treat a woman he loves?”

Margaret rolled her eyes at him again as she responded, “Mr. Flemmington, are you so free? You‘re the most important asset of our company. Won‘t the company collapse if you keep yourself idle? Please get back to your work, and stop gossiping about your employee‘s personal affairs! Besides, he doesn‘t like me, and he‘ll never love me.”

Casper chuckled as he returned to his office. “All right, all right. This important asset of the company is getting back to work now.?!

As soon as Casper left, Leila called out to Margaret suddenly, “Margaret, someone‘s looking for you on the line.”

Margaret was slightly perplexed. There was only one landline phone in the entire design department, and it was on Leila‘s work desk. Someone should not be calling the landline phone to look for her if it were about work. Feeling puzzled, she went over and picked up the call. “Hello? This is Soaring Design.” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Haha! It‘s me, Waverly.”

Margaret felt even more confused when she heard the voice coming from the end of the line. “Waverly? Is there anything I can help you?”

“No big deal. I passed by your company earlier and saw Christopher sending you to work. You were smiling happily. Initially, I thought you liked Jenson, but you don‘t seem to be affected at all after what Christopher has done to the Swanson family. How heartless you are! But I understand your reasons. Anyone would feel happy becoming Mrs. Lewis. Given your family background, you must‘ve done a lot of good deeds in your past life to be able to marry into the Lewis family.”

Margaret frowned after listening to her. “Anything else besides that?”

Waverly chuckled bitterly. “Jenson has called off our engagement, and he did that because of you. Don‘t you know that? He said he couldn‘t love another woman besides you. In the beginning, I thought his feelings during his university time would fade as time passed by and that he would fall in love with me eventually. Nonetheless, all of it had been nothing but my one–sided love. I admit that I feel resentful toward you. You‘re Mrs. Lewis now, yet Jenson still keeps you in his heart. What angered me the most was that you had remained unfazed and joyful when he was at his low point. You didn‘t even visit him when he had been admitted to the hospital. I feel sorry for him.”

“Waverly, I‘m working now. Please don‘t call my office to talk about personal matters anymore. Goodbye.” With that said, Margaret hung up the phone. She then turned around and saw Leila‘s displeased expression

“Please don‘t use the company resources for anything personal next time. You should know that.” Leila sat down after finished speaking.

Margaret replied in frustration, “Sure. I‘ll go back to work.”

Despite looking calm, she had to admit that Waverly‘s words had stirred up her emotions. They reminded her of what Jenson had told her earlier. She could feel his sincerity at that time, but she had always felt complicated deep inside. Perhaps it was the influence Christopher gave her ever since she was young. She had never loved someone freely nor done anything she liked. On top of that, she did not know what love was. Her feelings had been terminated during her university days before they even started. What was left behind now was only a heavy heart.

When it was almost lunch break, Elizabeth sent a nutritious meal over to Margaret‘s office.

Margaret felt it was too troublesome for her. “Elizabeth, you don‘t have to send me lunch. I can eat outside. Moreover, the food here is quite good too. Casper always eats here. I‘ll take this today, but you don‘t have to send it to me tomorrow. You may leave now. I‘ll bring the food container back when I get off work later.”
