What Separates Me and You

Chapter 213 Hate the Dogs

Under Lewis’ grilling, Josephine felt defeated, and her shoulders sagged powerlessly. She gave Lewis a complicated look. His expression was unreadable as usual, and Josephine could not decide whether to trust him or not.

However, she had no evidence and should not have suspected him. Josephine gestured, “Sorry.

I’m really sorry.”

“If an apology works, policemen would lose their jobs.”

Josephine remained silent for a while before she gestured again, “What do you want me to do then?”

Lewis did not say anything, and his gaze fixed delicately on Josephine. After a moment, a thought crossed his mind, prompting him to speak up. “You seem to like dogs very much, am I right?”

Josephine, unsure of the intention behind Lewis’ question, offered no response. She hesitated, wondering if saying “yes” would have unforeseen consequences, such as never encountering a dog within a hundred feet of her ever again.

Before she could wrap her mind around this, Lewis abruptly grabbed her arm and dragged her out. Josephine staggeringly followed behind him. She had no idea where he was taking her. He walked at a fast pace, and Josephine nearly tripped and fell a few times.

When they exited the office, he released her and said, “Follow along.”

After Josephine regained stability, she paused in bewilderment once again. She looked up at the man who was walking away without looking back. It was as if he was afraid that people would know about their relationship even when they had nothing to do with each other anymore. She lowered her head and remained silent for a moment before following him.

Upon witnessing his frigid expression, a surge of fear caused her heart to leap into her throat. She wondered about his intentions for bringing her here. Was it to kill her?
