What Separates Me and You

Chapter 205 Every Malicious Glance He Cast

Josephine understood the meaning behind every word Lewis said because he had trained her in various ways over the course of three years. Despite his teachings, he couldn’t help but perceive her as shameless. A mere glance exchanged with other men was all it took for him to think she was seducing them.

Josephine reached her breaking point, no longer willing to tolerate the situation. She tried to get up but fell on her knees because he was still grabbing her collar. She heard him. say, “I’ll

allow it.”

Josephine pressed her lips tightly together and averted her gaze. She did not want to have any further interactions with an unreasonable man like him. Besides, they already had a divorce.

Suddenly, the office door swung open, startling Josephine to the point that she quickly hid under the desk again. The person who came in was Sierra. She was holding her purse as she swaggered toward Lewis in her heels. She walked to Lewis’ side with a shy smile, endearingly calling out, “Lewis.”

The scent of Sierra’s perfume wafted in before her arrival. Underneath the table, Josephine grappled to conceal herself, desperately attempting to squeeze into the corner. Memories resurfaced of Lewis embarrassing her in front of Sierra before their divorce. Now that they were no longer together, Josephine realized there were even fewer reasons for him to support her. She had no desire to humiliate herself further.

Sierra wrapped her arms around Lewis’ neck and settled on his lap. Lewis did not push her away. He raised his brow and adeptly held her waist as he asked, “What brings you here?”

Sierra chuckled and said, “I’m picking you up from work. You’ll be coming over to my place today, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll wait for you to finish work. Then we can go for a movie tonight. I’ve bought the tickets.” Sierra pulled out two movie tickets from her purse and showed them to him.

Lewis took a glance at the tickets and chuckled. “Okay, you can wait at the side. I’ll finish

my work quickly.”

Josephine’s eyelid twitched upon hearing his words. She pondered if he had done it on purpose.

He had specifically told Sierra to wait beside him. Josephine’s intuition proved accurate; he had indeed done it deliberately to ensure she couldn’t leave. This meant she would be confined under the table until evening.

However, a slender arm grabbed her collar and yanked her up before she could fully register that feeling. Lewis threw her on the desk, and she fell forward onto the table. She instinctively grabbed the documents in front of her. She turned to look at Lewis as she could not move her arms. She forced the
