9: Revenge Is Sweet
Margot was humming as she packed lunch for Harry. She had a good night’s sleep after seeing him finish the dinner she prepared. She couldn’t wait to see him suffer the effects of laxatives she mixed in with his food.
“Good morning, hon. What’s that?” Harry kissed her on the cheek while wrapping her arms around her waist from the back.
Margot paused and chuckled. She couldn’t contain the excitement she felt while looking forward to Harry’s huge embarrassment once the laxative took effect while he was working in the office.
“Did something happen? You look happy,” Harry commented and sat on the table to have his breakfast. He couldn’t help but frown and wonder why Margot kept smiling.

“I’m glad you came, sweetheart. I was worried you’d decline my invitation,” Linda said with a sheepish grin.“It’s okay. I was on my way back from Harry’s office, so I thought dropping by wouldn’t hurt,” Margot replied.“Still, I’m so happy to see you again.” Linda clasped her hands together. The heavy layer of makeup on her face didn’t help her hide the exhaustion and stress she felt.Margot noticed it but chose to keep quiet. After assuming that Linda was Harry’s mistress, she couldn’t talk to her like before. Margot also said mean things about Linda and wondered if the latter would understand if she told her what was happening in her marriage.“Are you staying for dinner? You have no idea how much I missed you.”

“I can’t believe this. You have something to do with this, right? Did you put something in my food or what? I wouldn’t have to suffer this humiliation if you didn’t play a trick behind my back!” Harry glowered at his wife in frustration. He just finished his thirty-minute session in the toilet and went straight to their bedroom where Margot was trying to fall asleep.Margot rolled her eyes and covered her ears, something she had never done to her husband before as it would have been deemed disrespectful. She yawned and stared at Harry who was still fuming.“What are you talking about?” She asked, feigning innocence. There was no way she’d admit to what she did when Harry kept lying to her. “I don’t understand what you mean, honey. If you’re done with your business, why

“Have you calmed down? I’d like you to apologize to Nadine. She’s still terrified after what you’ve done,” Harry told his wife, staring at her from across the table. Tapping his fingertips, Harry frowned when Margot remained quiet.“Did you not hear me? I said, apologize. She’ll be working alongside me from now on and the way you treated her earlier might hinder her performance,” he added, his voice mixed with dismay and agitation.Margot crossed her legs and leaned her back. Her arms rested on her thighs as she smiled. “I don’t want to,” she replied, emphasizing every word.Harry lost his composure and slammed the table. He shot daggers at his wife, who rebelled against his order. Margot was only lovely in hi
The Good Wife's Enemy 13: Doctor’s Opinion
Leo couldn’t help but frown as he read through the same file for hours. He didn’t have any scheduled patients and he spent his time checking about a certain patient’s medical history. He knew he shouldn’t bother as it was not included in his job, but he had been sleepless for weeks.Ever since Margot cried during her session, Leo couldn’t forget her tear-stained face. It was all he could see whenever he tried to close his eyes to sleep. And whenever he managed to take a nap, Margot would be in his dreams or maybe his nightmares, crying and begging for help.Leo should do something about it. If he couldn’t get rid of Margot’s effect in his system, he might get involved in something he should avoid.“Hannah, how’s the task I gave you? Did you confirm if the patient will be coming today?” Leo asked his assistant, still glaring at the documents in his hands.“Yes, but…” Hannah hesitated for a moment until Leo raised his head to look at her.“What is it? Did she say something?” Leo clenched

Margot stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her burgundy blazer suit perfectly captured her body curves. The dark color of her clothes matched her skin tone, making her look ravishing, yet bold, at the same time.“It’s all about a good night’s sleep,” Margot commented and smiled at herself.Last night, Harry wouldn’t stop complaining about what she did—calling an ambulance on him and his secretary. He had so many things to say, and she knew it wouldn’t end until she apologized. She had no intention of doing so, so she went to the guest room and locked herself there to sleep.She later realized it was the best decision since marrying her husband.“Looks great. I&rsqu

Margot meant it when she said she was going to start working on the same day she was hired. After a brief introduction with her team, she started checking the competitive analysis for similar products that the company was about to launch. Everything was fine, but she wasn’t fully satisfied.“This is not going to work,” Margot stated as she let out a deep sigh. “I can’t believe they’re wasting a lot of money on products like this. Anyone could sell the same beauty products these days. Do they really think the company would profit from this?”She took off her glasses and brushed her hair up. It was only the first day, but Margot couldn’t sit still and do nothing when she saw a lot of errors in the way the previous manager managed the products they sold.

Leo tapped his fingers on the table. It had been fifteen minutes since he hung up the call with Margot. The latter said nothing and cried over the phone for five minutes. After that, he made sure to tell her to come to the hospital so they could meet. Although Margot didn’t say she’d come, he assumed she would and had been waiting for her.“Doc, I don’t think she’s still coming. She probably went home to rest,” Hannah said, enduring the noise caused by the doctor’s tapping.“Home? She wouldn’t want to be there if the reason she cried again was her husband,” Leo commented, furrowing his eyebrows as he started pacing back and forth.Hannah was almost done getting ready to leave. She wasn’t working overtime and she wished the doctor would do the same. Otherwise, she’d end up handling tons of work again if he couldn’t manage to finish them in his condition.“I understand you’re worried about the patient. Even I was worried too, but you can’t just stay here and wait for her until she comes
The Good Wife's Enemy 17: Tears, Again
Margot woke up to the gentle taps on her cheek. She was welcomed by Leo who looked at her with a frown. She didn’t realize it before, but Leo seemed to love frowning a lot.“We’re here. Let’s get something to eat first, then I’m sending you home,” he said, tilting his head outside. Going out for dinner wasn’t in his plan. But just before Margot could tell him her house address, she fell asleep.Leo considered waking her up, but she looked tired, so he went ahead to get a reservation in a restaurant and parked his car outside for a couple of hours, watching Margot sleep.“Ah, now that you mentioned it, I’m starving. I only had a sandwich for lunch and compared to the energy I spent working, a sandwich was not enough,” she said, forcing a smile.“I knew it. You were whispering like a ghost when I called you earlier because you’re hungry, right? Let’s go. It’s my treat,” Leo smiled and got out of the car. He rushed to the other side to open the door for her but Margot was already outside.
