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?”

That rendered Sophia temporarily speechless. She pondered the best response before saying, ” President Alvarez, I’m merely reporting what might happen if we take this course of action. As for what we end up doing, that decision lies with you.”

“Then, do as I say.”

“Yes, Sir.”

“Good.”

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.

Not long after, Conrad came into the office to report about the Head of Finance in their company. “I’ve received confirmation that Mr. Hall has embezzled our company’s funds. We’ve received part of that sum back, and he’s gotten sentenced to seven years in prison.”

“I see. Anything else?”

Conrad hesitated momentarily, then added, “The employees have been spreading rumors that I brought Mrs. Alvarez into our company. I-” He didn’t continue, but his intentions were clear; he didn’t want the rumors to spiral out of hand and make the other employees no longer view him with respect.

“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.
