What Separates Me and You

Chapter 206 Lonely Beast

Josephine was slightly shocked to learn that Lewis had hired an intern to work under him. Besides herself and Sierra, Yelena was the only other female who interacted closely with Lewis. Could Yelena be the woman Sierra mentioned? Josephine had always thought that the other woman Sierra claimed Lewis to be involved with was Sophia.

Yelena stared at her changing expression and frowned. She asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Yelena had an innocent look in her eyes. It was apparent that she was a recent graduate; the clarity and naivety in her eyes were unmistakable. Josephine shook her head and sighed, standing up and walking toward the elevator. Yelena felt a sense of unease as she watched her

leave. She wondered if Josephine didn’t like her because the latter hadn’t said anything to her.

Naturally, Josephine was unaware of her thoughts. She felt drowsy and longed to find a place to lie down and sleep. Despite her struggles, she reached the ground floor and hailed a taxi from the roadside, ready to return to the old neighborhood.

Once inside the car, she could no longer keep her heavy eyelids open. Gradually, her eyelids closed as she gazed at the passing scenery. She was too sleepy and tired. Before drifting off to sleep, she thought that forgetting certain things wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Perhaps her profound fatigue caused her to be in such a daze when the driver woke her up that she couldn’t recognize her surroundings, leaving her feeling anxious and uneasy.

“Miss, we’ve arrived. Are you not going to get off?”

Josephine stared at the driver’s face and quickly glanced at her surroundings. She hurriedly got out of the taxi and pulled out her phone to pay the driver. Inadvertently, as she transferred money to the driver, she noticed a notification about a salary of 9600 dollars.

Josephine’s head throbbed as she struggled to recall details about the salary. She sat down on a bench by the road and scrolled through her phone, trying to piece together her fragmented

memory.

She had forgotten about getting into a taxi and why she had come here. It was as if that part of the memory had vanished into thin air. Something was clearly amiss, as even with her occasional forgetfulness, the significant gap in her memory and her unexplained presence in that location didn’t make any sense.
