Chapter 72 

Soon, the dishes were being served to the table. Noah, who stood guard outside the private room, opened the door. “Mr. Lewis, Mr. Clark of Halston Corporation wishes to see you,” said Noah. 

Christopher nodded calmly. Then, Zachary walked into the private room with Jodie. He held a wine glass in his hand as he said, “Mr. Lewis, I didn‘t expect to see you here. It‘s my pleasure to meet you.” 

When Jodie saw Margaret, she stuck out her tongue at the latter. Jodie was forced to stand by Zachary‘s side to play her role as a good daughter. 

Margaret smiled and mimicked her expression. Meanwhile, Christopher observed their interactions silently. He could not move his gaze away from Margaret for a long moment. 

Jodie gave Margaret a meaningful wink, and Margaret finally came back to her senses. She poured some wine into Christopher‘s glass until it was half–full. 

Christopher raised his glass at Zachary and took a sip of the wine. He nodded slightly in response to Zachary‘s greetings. 

Zachary did not stay longer. “I shall leave now. Please enjoy your meal,” he said. 

Christopher‘s lips faintly curled as if smiling. Only Margaret knew it was not a smile at all.
