What Separates Me and You

Chapter 71 A Freak

Conrad was standing next to Lewis. He glanced at Lewis with trepidation, but there were no emotions on Lewis’s face. He could only feel the surrounding temperature drop.

Conrad was about to say something when Lewis turned around and left, so he could only

follow suit.

Under Seth’s guidance, Josephine learned how to use the copy machine. She turned to him and signed. “Thank you. I know how to use it now.”

Seth smiled and nodded. “Okay, then I’ll be on my way.”

Josephine nodded and saw him leave.

Many in the office noticed their interactions. Hilary initially thought of rushing her for the copies when she stumbled upon this scene. She furrowed her brows in confusion.

Although Seth was an easygoing person at the office, he would never waste his time on such small matters, let alone teach new hires how to use the copy machine. Could they be having an affair?

Hilary gave it a thought before taking her phone out to text Daphne Alvarez. Daphne cared so much for Seth. Naturally, she would worry that the other ladies at the office would flock to him. That was why she had quite a few spies in the office and Hilary was one of them.

When Daphne received the text, she almost snapped her phone in her fury.

“That trampy bitch!” Daphne cursed. Nancy glanced at her strangely and asked, “What is it? Why are you so angry?”

“It’s that stupid mute bitch! What was Lewis thinking by taking her to the office to work? She’s disabled! What can she do other than seduce other men!”

It was only the two of them at home, so Daphne had no inhibitions in saying whatever was on

her mind.

“What?” Nancy was a little baffled. “Lewis took her to the office?”

This was the matter that Nancy cared about most. To her, Josephine was always the black sheep of the family. It was embarrassing enough that she was her daughter-in-law, but Lewis had brought her to the office to further humiliate the family even more.
