What Separates Me and You

Chapter 253

Chapter 253 I Want to Visit the Pyramids

“Okay.” Lewis ended the call right after leaving that one-worded response.

Dr. Halliday went into a trance for a while as he listened to the beeps from his phone.

Meanwhile, Lewis casually tossed his phone onto the table before picking up a document and continuing to read it. The computer monitor on his left side showed an image of the live security feed coming from the mansion.

At that moment, Sophia knocked on the door before entering the office while hugging a folder to her chest. She stopped in front of Lewis’ desk before handing it to him.

“Chairman Alvarez, this is the company’s annual report. President Kiran asked me to send you a copy. Please take a look.”

Lewis accepted the report before flipping through it quickly. When he flipped to the final page, he noticed Kiran had already signed on it.

That prompted him to throw the report onto his desk, no longer wanting to look through it.

Sophia continued staying in the office even after some time had passed. Lewis raised his head to look at her coldly. “Is there anything else?”

“There’s half a month left till break time,” Sophia commented.

“So?”

“Do you have any plans, Chairman Alvarez?”

Lewis’s gaze landed on the woman’s face briefly before he finally asked, “Are you asking about my business schedule or private plans?”

Sophia flashed him a smile. “I was just asking.”

The man snapped the document in his hands shut before leaning into his chair. He started to make small talk with Sophia in a lazy tone. “It seems you’re eager to start your break, Ms. King. Do you have any plans?”

The woman replied, “Not really. I was thinking that I might go back to my hometown.”

“Where’s your hometown, Miss King?”

“It’s in Hardington.”

“Hardington?” Lewis had a thoughtful look on his face. He seemed to have recalled something, so he added, “I see. You may leave.”

Sophia inclined her head slightly at the chairman before turning around and leaving the office.

Once she was gone, Lewis picked up the telephone receiver belonging to the landline that was

connected to various departments. Soon, the call was picked up by the other party.
