What Separates Me and You

Chapter 212 Came to Interrogate

Josephine was stunned. She turned around and looked over instinctively Sure enough, Lewis was

here. He wore a suit as usual, walking toward her with a coat in his hand

Conrad felt relieved seeing him as if he saw a way out. He said, Sir, Ma Miss Vance wants to quit her

job.

Lewis halted in his tracks, tilting his head to cast a cold gate at Josephine I felt as if he was looking at a

stranger Josephine met his gaze and thought of the dogs the recalled the things that Quintin had told

her. A shiver went down her spine inexplicably, and she subconsciously clenched her fists

“Where’s your resignation letter?” Lewis asked with a deep voice

Josephine quickly gestured, “I’ll write it immediately

Lewis stared at her. His eyes darkened as he saw her unkempt hair and specks of dirt on her cheeks.

After a while, Lewis turned around and went to his office, ignoring Josephine

Josephine glanced at Conrad and asked, “Does this mean I have resigned successfully”

Conrad explained patiently, “Not really. You need to wall for Chairman Alvarez to sign your resignation

letter first. Then, you’ll need to go to the human resources department to process the resignation

before it can be considered successful

Josephine nodded as a sign of understanding Something came to her mind, and she hurriedly Typed,

“What would happen if I just stopped coming to work without resigning?

She remembered her illness and was afraid she would forget to come to work or even forget herself

Conrad wanted to tell her that she would simply not get paid if she did that But when he thought about

Josephine’s status and Lewis’ attitude toward her, he bluffed, “You’ll be in huge trouble. You’ve signed

a contract with the company if you were to leave without notice, you’d need to pay the company a

breach of contract lee It will cost about five million dollars e

Josephine’s eyes widened as she heard about the penalty cost

Contad explained with a straight face, “Your position is different. You’re the chairman’s sernetary it’s an

important position that involves possible exposure to the company’s secrets If you leave that contipatry

ban reasons to suspect that yo maghs beak the company’s secret and Later inga atins against you,

which might result in your prio

would resign through standard procedures. Conrad secretly felt relieved. Lewis would always be in a

bad mood and take his anger out on the staff when Josephine was not around. But since she came

back to work, Lewis’ mood improved. If Josephine stopped coming to work willfully, he would probably

need to face Lewis’ wrath.

Josephine returned to the office and searched for a resignation letter template. She followed the

template and copied its content. Josephine then went to see Lewis with the letter in her hand. However,

no one responded when she knocked on the door. Josephine knew he was inside. She had seen him

enter his office earlier. Hence, Josephine took a deep breath and went in straight. As she entered the

office, she saw Lewis talking on the phone while standing near the window. She paused her steps and

instinctively wanted to leave.

Lewis abruptly turned around and signaled her to come over. Then, he said into the phone,” Yes,

continue speaking.”

Josephine’s grip on the resignation letter tightened as she approached him. Lewis glanced at the

resignation letter in her hand and extended his hand, gesturing for her to give it to him. Josephine

placed the letter in his palm and stared at him anxiously.

Lewis opened her resignation letter and read it as he continued to talk on the phone. After a while, he

said to the person on the call, “I understand. Proceed with the original plan.”

After speaking, he hung up and took some time to read the resignation letter carefully. He then looked

up at Josephine. Josephine stared at him, hoping he would sign it so she could resign. As she was

thinking about that, Lewis tore the resignation letter into half, crumpled it, and threw it into the trash

can. Josephine looked at him in shock.

He sat in the chair and said nonchalantly, “Rewrite it.”

Josephine frowned and gestured, “Why?”

Lewis snickered, “You copied this from the internet. Don’t you know how to write it yourself?”

Josephine pressed her lips and thought if she knew how to write one, she would not need to search for

one.

Lewis did not continue to argue with her. He took a document from his desk and calmly said, If you

want to resign, write a new one.”

Josephine stood still and remained silent for some time. Seeing that she did not leave, Lewis looked up

at her and asked, “Is there anything else?”

Josephine paused for a while before gathering the courage to gesture, “Those strays that Quintin took

in were all dead. Did you … ”

Before she could complete her gesture, Lewis abruptly tossed the folder onto the table. The impact

created a sharp sound that echoed through the otherwise quiet office, effectively interrupting

Josephine’s gesturing.

Lewis expressionlessly stared at Josephine as he said in a deep voice, “Josephine, did you come

to interrogate me?”

Josephine felt her heart sink as she looked at him, unable to believe what she had just heard. Though

she didn’t know Lewis well, she understood that his lack of objection meant he was admitting to it. He

had just confessed to instructing Mr. Fowler to kill those dogs.

Josephine’s expression changed. Unable to tell if what she felt was anger or disappointment, she

gestured, “It really is you?”

Lewis stood up and walked toward her. Josephine instinctively stepped back when she noticed the

coldness in his eyes. He stood before her and looked down at her, asking, “What does it matter if I did it

or not? Haven’t you already concluded that it was my doing?”

Josephine’s gaze flickered. His words slightly dissipated her suspicion. She felt that she went

overboard in interrogating him when she had no proof. Moreover, what could she do if it turned out to

be him? Was she to avenge those dogs? It would be unrealistic to do that. How could she, when even

Quintin couldn’t do it? After all, animals were just animals. They were different from humans. Even if a

deep bond existed, it would never surpass the relationship between humans. For example, Quintin was

furious about this, but he had no courage to do anything to his father.

“Josephine.” Lewis lifted her chin and forced her to look at him. “Tell me, why do you always think it’s

me when something bad happens?” he continued.

Josephine could not answer.

“On what basis did you determine that it was me?” He closed in step by step. Josephine had nowhere

to run to and leaned against the table. Lewis lowered his eyes, and his cold gaze fell on her face.

Josephine felt cold even when there was a heater in the office.

Josephine quickly gestured, “Sorry. I shouldn’t have suspected you.”

Lewis smirked as he mocked, “You did not come here with a mere suspicion. You were already

convinced and came seeking justice. So, why am I your first and only suspect?”

Josephine gripped the table’s sides. She shifted her gaze to look elsewhere, suddenly feeling

suffocated.

“Josephine, what kind of person am I to you?”
