What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 212

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.
