A Graduation Gift

Chapter 20 Make Things Difficult

Lionel's voice reverberated on Cassandra's ears, which caused her to halt her steps. With her hand covering her face in frustration, she slowly turned around.

"I really didn't see anything,"

she exclaimed, feeling remorsefully humiliated. Not a single trace of jealousy could be heard from her tone, which was extremely odd for a couple like them. It came naturally for her. Knowing that their relationship existed only for the legalities and was made on the paper - a false front, made her completely forgot how she was supposed to function as a wife catching her husband having an affair with another woman.

"Lionel, is this your wife?"

the glamorous, lipstick-smeared woman asked with her eyebrows raised. Even if she knew the real identity of the woman who just barged in the office, she had shown no intentions of leaving Lionel's side. Judging Cassandra from head to foot, she managed to draw on a meaningful smile.

Such a blatant question made Cassandra suspicious. 'Aha, so he wanted me to come to his office because he planned this sham for me?' she wondered. Remembering why she came in the first place, she quickly cleared her thoughts and braced herself.

"Mr. Tang, may I know where the documents are?"

she asked in a polite tone, completely ignoring the woman's inquisitive look. She glanced coldly and calmly at Lionel, who now had a vague expression on his face.

For reasons he couldn't tell, his wrath towards Cassandra was bellowing. As he stood up, he gently pushed the beauty in his arms away, grabbed the files on the table, and walked towards Cassandra, counting his steps.

Cassandra, on the other hand, felt somewhat uneasy to see the disturbed look on Lionel's face. The turmoil was manifested as a frown, but she tried to keep herself calm and composed, waiting for him to say something.
