What Separates Me and You

Chapter 63 Worthy of Happiness

Josephine gripped her phone tightly, waiting anxiously.

After 20 minutes, there was still no reply from Lewis.

The hope on Mrs. Jinkins’ face gradually faded. She held Josephine’s hand. “Josie, thank you for trying to help me. I really appreciate it. Thank you.”

Patrick had finished a plate of orange slices. He turned his head and asked, “Have you got the money yet? The Alvarez family is so rich – don’t tell me you can’t even cough up five hundred thousand dollars?”

Josephine looked at Mrs. Jinkins. She chewed her lip and dialed Lewis. The call connected, but it was not Lewis who picked up.

“Josephine, Lewis is busy. Text him instead.” It was Sierra.

Josephine’s heart sank. She was in despair.

Sierra hung up and placed Lewis’s phone on the table. “That mute called you. I have no idea what for.”

Lewis picked his phone up and looked at his messages. He blinked and decided to ignore it before tossing it aside.

Sierra smiled widely. She approached him, hugged his arm, and said, “I’m going to sign a contract with my manager this afternoon. You promised you’d make me a star. You won’t go back on your word, right?”

Lewis placed the documents he was holding down. He held Sierra’s hands and smiled a little.” Have you packed?”

Sierra glared at him curtly. “Yes! Do you want me gone so badly?”

Lewis lowered his gaze and looked at her pretty manicured nails. “It’s not that I want you gone. You are just not suited to work here.”

“You’re pushing me away!” Sierra retracted her hand swiftly.
