What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 460

It was Conrad. He paused when he saw Josephine. He didn't think she would be here. Could these two have made peace with each other?

He dared not ask too much and quickly went to Lewis. "Yes, sir?"

Lewis glanced at him. "Assign her a job."

Conrad looked back at Josephine and restrained the questions emerging in his mind. He then asked, "Should she resume her original position?"

Josephine heard him and immediately sprung up from her seat. "No."

Lewis replied, "It's her choice."

Conrad nodded to acknowledge Lewis' instructions. Then, he said to Josephine, "Madam, please come with me."

Josephine immediately followed Conrad out.

Then, Conrad asked, "So, do you have a preferred department in mind, madam?"

Josephine gave it some thought. "Anything will do. As long as no one recognizes me."

She didn't want to be labeled as Lewis' wherever she went. She wanted to be the master of her own life. She wanted to prove that she could survive even when separated from Lewis.

Conrad thought about it. That was no easy feat. It would have been simpler if Lewis hadn't waltzed into the company with her before this. The majority of the employees saw them then.

He led Josephine out while pondering which department was suitable for Josephine. They ran into Seth on their way down. He was coming out of the elevator.

Josephine's eyes lit up the moment she saw him. But then she remembered what Lewis said, and the light in her eyes dimmed.

Seth noticed the change in her emotions. He stared at her for a couple of seconds before leaving the elevator, smiling.

"Where have you been, Mr. Fairchild? I've been looking for you," said Conrad.

Seth was wearing a suit for a change. The beige suit gave his striking features a gentle touch.

He stopped before them. His gaze swept passed Josephine and fell on Conrad. "I was outstation. Do I have to report to you?"

Conrad looked at him suspiciously. He didn't know about that, but then again, it wasn't required of Seth to inform him, a mere assistant.

Seth continued, "The chairman instructed me to run a check through the accounts before this. I found several inconsistencies. So I went to the Internal Revenue Service and a few other companies to have them checked."

Conrad recalled. Seth was still settling the mess in their accounts.

He didn't know much about Seth's task, but he knew every detail about the conflicts between Seth and Lewis. It seemed absurd to him that they could continue to work in peace in the same company.

"Where are you two going?" Seth asked.

Conrad answered, "I'm assigning Madam a job. I'm still thinking about which department suits her better."

He told Seth Josephine's requests. Seth mulled over it and smiled. "That's simple. She can try out a position at the new media management department in the marketing department."

Conrad thought it was workable.

That department wasn't in this building block. It was in another building block that housed only the new media management department. The department's job scope covered a wide range. They would accept any task that was related to the Internet.

It had only been established two years ago. Lewis didn't interfere much in their operation. He allowed them freedom and left them to fend for themselves.

The department thrived since its establishment. In fact, as the use of the Internet rapidly grew, their job scope expanded as well. They were progressing at an alarming rate. They would soon become an essential branch of the Alvarez Corp.

"Alright. I'll lead her there." Conrad decided on it and beckoned Josephine, "Madam, let's go."

Josephine nodded. She looked at Seth again. All she saw was his smiling face and nothing else. He looked just like before.
