What Separates Me and You

Chapter 122 Left With Nothing

Before Robert’s slap could land, Lewis caught his hand.

Robert glared at him, his anger palpable. “Are you trying to rebel against me?”

Lewis’ lips curved upward. He started slowly, “We are discussing workplace matters here. Since we’re talking about work, let’s leave the father-son disciplining out of this. I am not only Alvarez Corp’s president but also one of the corporation’s shareholders. We are equals. It’s inappropriate for you to resort to violence against an equal.”

“Fine! Fine! Fine! Whatever!” Robert shook off Lewis’ arm. “Since you want us to talk about work, let’s talk about work! Now that the corporation is facing such a major problem under your leadership, you attempt to brush it off by quitting, and I will allow it! Even if you want to resign, you must resolve this matter and get the company back on track before doing so!”

Lewis’ brows raised. He smiled. “Alright.”

Robert’s rage flared even more as he looked at Lewis’ nonchalant smile.

“Get the fuck out!”

Lewis nodded, turning to leave.

His behavior was impeccable, but his demeanor was even more infuriating. He remained calm even though anyone in his position would have been riddled with anxiety in the face of that.

Either way, his respectful attitude was provocative in every way possible.

When Lewis had left, Robert fumed in the room for a while. He could not understand any of this. Subsequently, he picked up his phone to make a call.

The call connected quickly.

The person on the other end did not speak. Robert opened his mouth, his expression collapsing into a blend of complex emotions.

“What?”

“Hey, did you see the news about Alvarez Corporation?”

“Yes. Why?”

Robert fell silent. He found it difficult to speak, having not yet decided how exactly to go about

this.

“What? Are you regretting it now? Haven’t you been hopeful about this son of yours?” the person on the other end of the call spoke again.

“I might have been wrong.”

“So, what if you are wrong? It’s not like you can turn back now.”

Robert sat down on his chair weakly. He raised his head and gazed at the ceiling, his dark eyes shining with newfound determination.

“No, we still have a chance.”

“What chance?”
