What Separates Me and You

Chapter 85 What Dignity?

Seth was a little taken aback but soon resumed smiling. “Is that so? I’ll recheck it once more.” He picked up the documents before saying, “I’ll let you have a look once I’ve made the changes.”

Lewis didn’t reply, so Seth considered he had agreed.

When Seth left, Lewis undid his tie and unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt. He sat in the meeting room in silence without any expression, looking into the distance until Sophia entered.

“President Alvarez, I couldn’t reach you yesterday, so I went to meet with the client. Everything is settled. This is the agreement. Here, take a look at it.”

Lewis accepted the agreement from her and distractedly flipped through it. “Hmm, go ahead with it.”

“Alright.” Sophia took back the document. She could not help but look at him for a while and hesitantly said, “President Alvarez, is something on your mind?”

Lewis looked at her. “Is it that obvious?”

Sophia smiled. “It is quite obvious. You only flipped through two pages of the agreement. You didn’t look at it in detail.”

Lewis said nothing. After a while, he got up and left the meeting room.
