What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 487

Tanya stared at the agreement before her and flipped through it.

"I don't know a thing about this. There's no point in giving it to me. Just deal with it between yourselves." She added, "I don't want to get involved with the Alvarez Family in any way."

Lewis questioned, "This is the fruit of Kiran's hard work. Are you sure you don't want it?"

She shook her head. "No. I just want to bring him home to that small house we live at."

"How about the companies abroad that are registered under his name?"

"I'm not sure about that either. The companies must have a lot of employees. I think they can take care of their companies."

Lewis explained, "I know you don't want to be involved, but you will be harassed by infighting within the company, as there is no leadership at the moment. It will be difficult to get some peace."

Startled, she looked at him in confusion. "So, what do I do?"

He smiled at her. "If you trust me, I can send someone to keep an eye on those companies. You don't have to worry about me. I will not touch his shares in his company."

He further advised, "You should take over the company and serve as its chairman. Then, you will appoint a president. That way, you have nothing else to worry about."

She was hesitant. "Is that all?"

"Of course. As long as you hold the shares, no one can snatch the company from you without your approval."

Tanya was a little perplexed. "But why are you helping me out?"

"I was Kiran's brother, after all." Lewis gazed at her sincerely. "Look, aren't you and I similar? I understand how you feel."

He seemed to fall into a daze. "No matter how much you own, it's pointless if you're alone in the world."

Tanya looked at him, feeling complicated. She could tell that he was genuinely feeling rueful. On top of that, his sickly look made him look more convincing.

After a while of fidgeting, she finally nodded. "Fine. I will do what you said."

Conrad reminded her, "Ma'am Torres, we still need you to sign the agreement as the legal recipient. If you do not want the shares, you need to authorize Mr. Lewis to manage them for you."

He placed another document in front of her. She finally understood that they had come prepared. If she refused to sign, it'd be hard for her to leave Lewis' office.

Thankfully, she had no ambition to fight for power and wealth. Therefore, she took a pen and quickly left her signature on the document.

"May I leave now?"

"When a person dies, all the grudges against him are gone." Lewis sighed softly. "Madam, please reach out to me if you need anything. I promise you'll be well taken care of into old age. Conrad, send her home on my behalf."

"Sure."

Tanya glanced twice at Lewis. He seemed like an easygoing lad, but she knew he must be a complex person. Otherwise, he wouldn't make his way to his current rank.

She left the company with Conrad. At the elevator lobby, she insisted that Conrad stay back. After that, she departed alone.

Conrad returned to the meeting room and handed Lewis the document. "I didn't expect it to go this smoothly."

Lewis flipped through the pages and muttered, "She's not dumb."

Conrad nodded in agreement. Although Tanya appeared unambitious, she lived a better life than the others. She was acutely aware of her inability to manage Kiran's companies and his shares, so she'd rather let go of them coolly.

By doing so, she even made Lewis indebted to her. From that moment onward, she could live out the rest of her life without worrying about money.
