What Separates Me and You

Chapter 94 How Ironic

Lewis paused, his eyes darting toward an unknowing Sophia, who stood and smiled like she was doing her job. He asked, “What do you think is the appropriate action, Miss King?”

Sophia nodded but still checked with the former, stating, “I’ll approve of her one-month leave, then.”

“You may go now,” was the only response from Lewis.

Pivoting on her heel, Sophia headed out. Before she shut the office door, she glanced up at Lewis, who continued browsing the document in his hands instead of acknowledging her departure. Sophia understood it was her cue to leave, and so she did.

“I understand. You may leave now.” Lewis didn’t even bother glancing at the former when he

said that.

Nevertheless, Conrad was relieved. He sighed, nodded, and left the office. Conrad ran into Sophia on his way out. Given their relationship as colleagues, he greeted her out of courtesy.
