What Separates Me and You

Chapter 72 Backed by Lewis

Josephine entered the meeting room with her copies of documents. Most of the higher-ups were already there. She knocked and entered, attracting the gaze of everyone.

They were surprised. Why was there a change of staff that day? It used to be Sierra.

Josephine ignored their gaze by lowering her head and distributing the copies to everyone.

When she was by Lewis’ side, he looked up at her with his deep gaze as if he could swallow her whole.

Josephine maintained her lowered gaze, not looking at him. She placed the documents in front of him before heading to the next person.

“I haven’t seen you around before. Are you new?” A middle-aged man sized Josephine up. She was indeed pretty enough that she would attract the attention of men.

The middle-aged man was closest to her, so he noticed she had no makeup on, yet her skin was still dewy and naturally flushed.

Josephine didn’t reply to him. She continued distributing copies to the next person. The man was a little aggravated, but he didn’t show too much of it. He merely took a mental note of her to ask around about her later.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a gaze locked on him. He unknowingly looked toward where it was coming from when he met with Lewis’ eyes. Although there was no expression on Lewis, the man felt as if Lewis could read what was on his mind. He immediately lowered his head and pretended to look through the documents.

Josephine left once she distributed her copies. She barely took a seat when Hilary dumped another pile of documents in front of her.

“Sort out these documents and send me a document with a table of it.”

There was not much to do in their department. They might be the President’s secretaries, but to put it bluntly, they were more like interns. Only the manager of the secretary department and Conrad had the chance to work with the core of the company’s affairs.

Hilary had made Josephine do most of the tasks in the department. After all, Josephine couldn’t speak, so she didn’t bother to communicate with Josephine. After instructing Josephine to do all the work, Hilary headed to the pantry to kill time.

Ever since Sierra left, her days had been much easier. Sierra used to pretend that she was the President’s wife. Whenever she saw anyone slacking, she would reprimand them and report them to get their wages deducted.
