What Separates Me and You

Chapter 77 Feeling Inferior with One Look

Sophia smiled at Josephine. It was only a polite greeting without saying anything. She washed

her hands and left.

Josephine looked at her gorgeous figure before looking at her wretched self in the mirror. The disparity was huge. It turned out, some people could make one feel inferior with one look. She guessed that most people would prefer a woman like Sophia.

Josephine looked at her messy hair and smiled listlessly. How could someone like such a terrible person like her?

She tidied her hair and walked out of the washroom. When she returned to her desk, Sophia was next to Hilary, discussing something on Hilary’s computer.

Hilary swept a glance at Josephine and said softly, “Miss King, do you know who hired that mute?”

Sophia paused for a while before saying, “Just do your work. Don’t gossip so much.”

Hilary pouted and continued working, editing her work on the computer.

Sophia instinctively turned to look at Josephine with an inexplicable gaze in her eyes. Then, she got up and headed back to her office. Ever since Sophia returned from her business trip, Hilary no longer dared to lord over Josephine, which was why Josephine had nothing much to do for the next few days.

Although Conrad gave her some stuff to do, he had already done it beforehand. She was. extremely free every day.

Something also happened to Mr. Hall. When Josephine got off work on Friday, she suddenly heard them discussing how Mr. Hall was being audited, and there were problems with his accounts, so much so that he might even have to go to prison.

Everyone cast pitiful glances at Josephine when they said that. That was because everyone was under the impression that she was having an affair with Mr. Hall. Once he was in trouble, no one else could protect her anymore.

Josephine pretended that she didn’t notice their gaze. She quietly stood by the corner of the elevator, and once it had reached her floor, she walked out directly.

That night, Lewis didn’t return. Sam had sent her a message to tell her where to meet the next day. Josephine held her phone and slept on the sofa. The next morning, she headed to the café where they agreed to meet.

Josephine saw a man sitting at the table where they had agreed upon. He was in a suit, dressed up impeccably. He appeared to be in his thirties and looked just like how he sounded- righteous and tough.
