What Separates Me and You

Chapter 146 Die For Her

Josephine was completely stunned, and the bread in her hands fell to the ground.

She pinned her gaze on the car, as if doing so could explain why he was here, of all places. Conrad was equally taken aback. Incredulously, he fixed his gaze upon the car and the who emerged from it.

person

Lewis walked out of the car and slammed the door heavily. Without casting even a fleeting glance at Josephine, he briskly walked past her, his attention entirely focused on entering the building.

His coat carried the scent of gardenias, its fragrance wafting into her nostrils. It was then that she realized this was not a hallucination or a dream.

Lewis had actually come back for her.

Conrad wanted to follow Lewis into the building when the door slammed shut in front of him, obstructing the view of everyone else in the courtyard.

Josephine crouched in a daze, her eyes unusually wet.

Seth looked at the man in front of him and laughed. It was a genuine laugh-one of triumph.

Lewis stood in front of his bed, his stance radiating coldness. It was almost as if he’d brought the chill from the outside into the building. Immediately, the temperature inside dropped by a few degrees.

“It seems, after all, that President Alvarez is a man who says one thing and means another.”

Lewis yanked him up from the bed by his collar. “You will disarm the bomb on her foot first thing tomorrow.”

Seth choked, gesturing for Lewis to put him down.

Lewis released his grip, and Seth fell heavily back onto the bed. His head spun. After a while, when he’d returned to his senses, he replied, “Don’t worry. I always keep my promises.”

Lewis sneered in return and turned to sit across from him.

On the other side of the door, Conrad plastered his ears against it and attempted to eavesdrop on their conversation but to no avail.

He started to get anxious. “What now? If he stays the night, he would never be able to make it back to the shareholders’ meeting in time.”

Josephine looked at the firmly shut door and pressed her lips together tightly.

Conrad scratched his head anxiously and paced back and forth in front of the door.

Josephine’s mind was a mess. A turmoil of emotions overwhelmed her as she lowered her head and gazed at the countdown on her ankle. Time was ticking fast.

As night gradually began to fall, Conrad told her to go back and get some rest.
