Chapter 148 The Shareholders’ Meeting

Lewis held her hand. He was just about to teach her something when they heard Conrad’s voice from the outside.

“President Alvarez!”

“Mrs. Alvarez!”

Josephine heard his voice and quickly shook off Lewis’ hands and turned to grab her clothes.

Lewis clamped an arm down on her wrists. “It’s wet.”

Josephine trembled slightly.

“Conrad!” Lewis raised his voice and shouted suddenly.

Conrad heard his voice and rushed over. Standing at the mouth of the cave, he shouted back, President Alvarez, are you in there with Madam?”

“Bring two sets of clothes in.”

“Oh, alright!” Conrad squatted on the ground and passed the clothes in his arms through the gap in the makeshift screen.

“I took these from the homestead. You’ll have to make do with these first.”

Conrad had the foresight to bring a few sets of clothes before he exited the courtyard, which were then put to use now.

Lewis took the clothes from Conrad. They evidently belonged to Seth. Lewis had a similar build to Seth’s, so wearing his clothes did not feel particularly out of place.

As for Josephine, they were loose and oversized on her. The shirt she had been wearing earlier would have fit her better. At least she could have worn that as a dress.

The two of them finished changing and walked out of the cave. Josephine’s legs buckled under her, and she tripped every two steps she took.

Lewis scooped her up and carried her bridal style before bending down and walking out.

Conrad released a sigh of relief when he saw the two of them unharmed.

Just then, the sky had begun to turn gray outside. Dawn was swiftly approaching. Conrad started worrying again.
