What Separates Me and You

Chapter 169 The Other Woman

Josephine looked up and saw someone familiar walk by the door. She got a whiff of that person’s perfume and couldn’t help but hold her breath.

It was Sierra.

Sierra was well-known in the company. Nobody dared to stop her from entering.

She went to the president’s office and met Kiran, who directed her here-hence, her appearance.

Sierra opened the door to the board chairman’s office without a pause and waltzed in. The moment she entered, her gaze fell on Lewis, sitting behind the office desk.

“Lewis!” Sierra couldn’t decide if she was more surprised or furious to see him.

It was a pleasant surprise to her that he wasn’t kicked out of the company and was now the board chairman, but she was also furious that he lied to her. Had she faltered or not loved him as much, she would have cut all ties to him now.

Lewis looked up when he heard her. “What brought you here?”

“Didn’t you say you had resigned? Of course, I must verify that on my own! It turns out you lied to me!” Sierra pouted as she walked toward him and thrust her purse onto his desk.

No one else could have dared to speak to Lewis in such a way except for her, less so thrusting something on his desk.

She was the only exception, and her actions came naturally.

Lewis leaned back into his chair and asked monotonously, “How did I lie to you?”

“You told me you resigned!”

“I did.”

Sierra almost choked. She continued, enraged, “You also said you owe the company a few hundred billion dollars!”

“That’s true, too,”

His response cut off whatever she was about to say. He didn’t lie, after all.

He just didn’t tell her the complete story.

Sierra fumed for a while before calming down. She gently leaned on Lewis, hugged his arm,

and said, “Then why didn’t you tell me you’re now the board chairman?”

Lewis didn’t push her away. Conversely, he wrapped his arm around her waist and sald smilingly, “You didn’t ask.”
