Chapter 218 A Trace of Joy

Phineas decided to plead with her regardless of her response.

“It pertains to your current situation. Could you please keep it a secret from Chairman Alvarez? If he were to find out, I would be dead.” Phineas clasped his hands together in a

gesture of earnest request.

After speaking, he saw a perplexed look in Josephine’s eyes. She looked confused. Phineas was taken aback and said, “Madam?”

Josephine pressed her lips together and gestured, “Do we know each other?”

Phineas was not fluent in sign language. He stared at Josephine’s fingers and testingly asked, ‘ Are you saying that you don’t recognize me?”

Josephine gave it a thought. Although that was not what she said, the meaning was similar, so she nodded at Phineas. Phineas became anxious and quickly explained, “I’m Phineas. We met before. How could you forget me so quickly?”

They had met a few times. How was it possible that she had no recollection of him at all? Just as Phineas was in confusion, Josephine looked at him again. However, she still could not remember him and shook her head.

Phineas helplessly sighed. He simply thought Josephine was unwilling to forgive him and refused to help him keep this a secret. His heart sank, feeling a sense of desolation. He abandoned his plea, resigning himself to face whatever fate awaited him. He turned around, retrieved the breakfast tray, and passed it to Josephine, “Have some breakfast.”

Josephine was slightly taken aback. She glanced at Phineas’ disappointed face and then shifted her
