What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59 Apologizing to Lewis 

Josephine was rooted to the spot, clearly stunned. She didn’t know what to do or where else to go. At the same time, she felt like a clown who thought too highly of herself. 

“Leave it there,” Lewis ordered impassively. 

Josephine nodded before turning around and leaving the study quietly. 

She could hear Sierra’s voice drifting from behind her. “You promised to attend the press conference with me tomorrow, so you have to show up.” 

“Yeah.” 

“I hosted a live broadcast yesterday and ended up earning over 100 thousand dollars! Aren’t I amazing?” 

“Yes, you are,” Lewis praised half–heartedly. 

“Also, an entertainment agency wants to sign a contract with me! Do you think I should attend the meeting? Hey, do you think it’s a good idea for me to join the entertainment industry?” 

“If that’s what you want, then go ahead. I’ll invest in you. 

Josephine couldn’t hear the rest of the conversation. Besides, there was no need for her to continue listening. 

Lewis tended to fulfill Sierra’s every wish. She was akin to a free songbird in his jurisdiction, so she was free to do whatever she wanted. Sierra could always go out and make new friends. Not. only that, but she could also throw temper tantrums on a whim and pursue her own dreams. 

Sierra was a healthy and normal woman, so she could live her life to the fullest.. 

On the other hand, Josephine was just mute. That was why she couldn’t lead a good life. Besides, she was undeserving of one in the first place. 

Josephine took a few bites of her dinner before retreating to her bedroom for the night. 

She was unable to sleep that night, seeing as her insomnia was getting worse. After tossing and turning on her bed for over two hours, she realized that Lewis had actually entered her room. 

He lay down next to Josephine immediately but did not hug her like usual. 

Instead, Lewis turned around so that his back would be facing her. Both of them turned their backs on each other while lying on the same bed. There was a weird gap between them in the middle of the bed, which symbolized the rift that separated the sky from the earth. 

Josephine gripped her pillow tightly with her eyes closed. She did her best to ignore the hollow. sensation that came from the side. 

The light above her head was so bright that it stung her eyes. Even with her eyes closed, she still felt that the room was very bright. 

Josephine was unable to sleep at all. After waiting for a while, she got out of bed and used the toilet. After exiting the bedroom, she headed toward the couch in the living room. 

There, she curled into a tight ball and buried her head into the crook of her arms to block out all

the light. 

About half an hour later, Josephine suddenly felt something being placed on her body. When she raised her head, she realized it was a quilt. 

Lewis was standing right next to her. He was wearing a set of pajamas, and his hair was messy. He looked younger whenever his appearance was more disheveled and casual. 

When Josephine laid her eyes on Lewis‘ bedtime attire every time, she always had a feeling that 

she had traveled back in time. 

She was stunned for a moment before she quickly sat up. 

Lewis sat down next to her while saying, “I’ll find you a job so that you won’t be bored ever again.” 

Josephine just stared at him dumbfoundedly. A short time later, she finally raised her hands to start gesturing at him. “Can I make friends at my workplace?” 

Lewis replied, “If that’s what you want, then go ahead. That is, if you’re able to make any friends.” 

A glint appeared in Josephine’s eyes. Lewis could be hinting at the possibility of her not being able to make any friends. 

Then again, he was right. She was a mute who couldn’t speak; no one would want to communicate with her. 

Josephine gestured even more. “Where will I be working?” 

“What job would you like to take up?” 

“I like to sing.” 

“You like to sing, hmm?” Lewis chuckled coldly in return. “Are you talking smack to me now?” 

Josephine didn’t want to do that to Lewis. It was true that she wanted to sing–it was her greatest dream that she had kept locked away in her heart, seeing as it was nothing but an impossible wish. 

She also wanted to get a divorce, but it was also an impossible wish, just like her desire to sing. 

Lewis‘ smile faded away as he gazed at Josephine coolly. “I’ll give you one last chance. What sort of job would you like?” 

Josephine gestured back weakly. “I don’t know.” 

It was then that Lewis‘ patience finally ran out. He uttered coldly, “How could you not know that? Don’t you like doing dishes? Fine, you can do them to your heart’s content!” 

Josephine pursed her lips while staring at him unblinkingly in an attempt to locate any trace of him making it out as a joke. 

Unfortunately, Lewis wasn’t joking at all. 

He was a vengeful man, after all. When she disappeared for half a month and was found to be a dishwashing worker in the restaurant, he didn’t care about her at all. Now, he decided to bring up the past and make a big deal out of it. 

Sometimes, Josephine envied Sierra a lot. Even though the latter didn’t have an official title, Lewis still loved her deeply. 

to Lewis 

Sierra could go to work whenever she wanted to. If becoming a celebrity was her dream, then Lewis would support her. 

As for Josephine, she was only worthy enough to take on a job that involved washing dishes. 

Lewis‘ expression darkened immediately. “It seems that you really love that job. From now on, you’ll have to be responsible for your own living expenses. That includes the living expenses of the housekeeper you just hired.” 

After he was done speaking, he got up and headed upstairs. 

Sometime later, Lewis had already changed into new clothes and left the mansion after descending the stairs. 

In the past, he would never leave the mansion after changing into his pajamas. That decision of his was more than enough to prove that even principles could be broken. 

The next morning, Conrad came to the mansion to fetch Josephine from her workplace. 

He took her to a five–star restaurant and led her all the way to the kitchen. There, he entrusted her 

to a plump older woman. 

Conrad shot Josephine a look of mixed feelings before saying, “Madam, please do your best in this 

situation. If you’re unable to handle the stress of this job, you should apologize to President 

Alvarez.” 

Josephine was surprised to hear Conrad’s advice. Before she could digest the actual meaning, the latter had already walked away. 

The plump woman went over to drag Josephine away. “You’re new here, yeah? Hurry up and do the dishes! Our staff still needs them! From today onward, you’re in charge of doing all the dishes in this restaurant! You better be fast, you hear?”
