What Separates Me and You

Chapter 170 Please Practice Safer Ways

Goosebumps crawled across Sierra’s scalp. She tensed up, fixating her gaze on Josephine as her facial expression shifted unpredictably.

After a while, she turned and beamed at Lewis. “It was a slip of the tongue. You know I don’t mean it.”

Lewis looked at her, expressionless. He said warningly, “There’s a difference between being careless and downright foolish.”

Sierra’s smile froze. Lewis’ words were hurtful.

“Are you criticizing me?” asked Sierra in disbelief. Was Lewis actually telling her off?

“I’m not criticizing you. I’m merely reminding you.”

Sierra’s eyelids twitched. She and Lewis had always been casual in their everyday conversations, but that didn’t mean he could embarrass her in Josephine’s presence.

She glared at Lewis and pouted as she left, her heels clicking against the floor.

After Sierra left, Lewis glanced at Josephine.

Josephine was calm. She wasn’t gleeful just because Lewis reprimanded Sierra; that was how they flirted with each other. She would have been thinking too highly of herself if she had thought Lewis was siding with her.

After all, she had flattered herself countless times before, and Lewis proved her wrong each time.

There wouldn’t be room for imagination when there’s no anticipation whatsoever.

His words and actions wouldn’t hurt her in any way, too.

Josephine handed him the documents she held.

Lewis stared at her for a while before taking the documents and leaving.
