What Separates Me and You Chapter 21 Blocked " What's wrong , Lewis ? Why do you look so out of it ? " Sierra had been in the car for a while , but all Lewis did was sit there and smoke . He'd already gone through two cigarettes , and yet , the car was still in the parking lot . Giving his cigarette a final puff , Lewis chucked the butt out of the window . " Is your ankle any better ? " He turned to look at Sierra . She made a face . " I'm honored that you still remember that . Thanks for your concern , but I'm still alive and kicking , " she said sarcastically . She was still very much hung up on the incident as she had thought that she could make a big fuss out of it . How was she to know that it would be brushed aside just like that ? And to make matters worse , she had yet to receive an apology from that mute ! " I'm not in the mood to sweet - talk you . What do you feel like having for dinner ? " Lewis massaged his temple , a hint of fatigue in his eyes . Sierra glanced at him in bewilderment after a brief pause . " Is anything the matter ? Is it something to do with work ? " " There are some complications . " Lewis started the car and drove off . Sierra was only a secretary in name and leeched off the payroll . Frankly speaking . she still wasn't exactly sure what businesses the company ran , so she had no means . of helping or soothing him even if she wanted to . All she could do was to keep quiet . Sierra whipped out her phone and started gaming as she usually did when she was. bored at work . The game was called " Descendants of the Dragon " . It was currently the trendiest game around , and she had made a lot of in - game purchases . In fact , she had spent more than five hundred thousand dollars on it just last month , simply to ensure that she remained at the top of the leaderboard . Of course , it was Lewis ' card that she used to make those purchases . He had given her a supplementary card which had no purchase limit . However , she would have to give him a heads - up for purchases exceeding a million dollars , which he would usually allow . " Hey Lewis , they're filming a festive promotional video for this game and are hosting talent castings . I'd like to go try it out . " Lewis hummed lightly in response as he kept his hands on the steering wheel . ' Could you contact them for me ? They'd listen to you . " Sierra thought that since she enjoyed the game , it would be a great opportunity for her to be featured in the promotional video . Members of her guild always addressed her as " Goldy - lots " . Now , if she filmed ther promotional video for it , every player would know that not only was she rich , but she was a bombshell too . She couldn't help snickering to herself when she imagined the looks of admiration and awe on their faces . Lewis would never reject such a simple request from Sierra . After all , it seemed like her every wish was his command . Most of the people in their social circle could not fathom why Lewis was so infatuated with Sierra . She wasn't particularly smart , nor was she particularly eloquent . Furthermore , she had a foul temper , and was arrogant , lazy , and materialistic … In short , she had her fair share of flaws . Her only plus point was her . looks , and that was pretty much it . However , she wasn't the prettiest woman out there either , so it truly was a mystery . Many people claimed that what Lewis and Sierra shared between them was true love , because he had set all external factors aside , and loved Sierra for who she was -that his love for her was simple and unadulterated . However , only Sierra knew how fine a line she was treading . Lewis ' love for her seemed genuine on the surface , but truthfully , every step she took was like walking on thin ice . She dared not play any tricks with him - he saw through each and every one of them . Hence , she knew her place and her boundaries . Like a caged bird , she could do as she pleased and throw tantrums to her heart's content , all as long as she stayed within the boundaries he set for her . Lewis was an extremely efficient person . After Sierra mentioned that she was interested in the filming of the promotional video , he gave his assistant a call and got him to arrange it for her . However , they had already finalized their plans over at Playtime , so when they received the call from Lewis ' assistant , they were thrown a curve ball . " Wait , why is Lewis Alvarez meddling in this ? This is such a small production . " Mr. Colson could not make head or tail of the situation . Another female producer chuckled sardonically . " That girl , Sierra Woods - she's at the top of the leaderboard of the international server . And she so happens to be President Alvarez's precious girlfriend . Obviously , he's doing this just to please her . " A chubby man chimed in , " Well , I think that it might actually work out for us to feature Sierra in the promotional video . Since she's already got a reputation for being at the top of the leaderboard , she might be able to draw more attention than . Josephine . " " It doesn't seem like there's any room for discussion , anyway . She's spent millions in- game ! Who would dare go against her ? " " Well , why don't we use both of them ? After all , we've got more than one character . " " But Sierra demands the role of Mythinth , which just happens to be the character that we've arranged for Josephine . We've got a clash there . " " Then we'll have to get both of them here and see if Sierra is willing to compromise . " The next day , Josephine received news from Avery that she was to go to Playtime to get the contract sorted out . She hesitated . Lewis had warned her the day before that if she were to go , he might make things difficult for Avery . After giving it some thought , Josephine replied to Avery's text . " I'm not going , Avery . " In under two minutes , Avery sent her a minute - long voice note . " Why not ? Did Lewis say something to you ? What right does he have to do that ? You're not taking his . money ; so , what's it got to do with him if you make your own money ? Consider the baby , Josephine . Don't you want a divorce ? Well , think about it yourself and let me know your decision . If you're still reluctant to leave him , I'll turn Mr. Colson down right away . " Josephine could tell from Avery's tone that she was angry . Her heart skipped a beat . Now she'd done it . She'd got Avery mad at her too . She bit her lip , internally battling with herself . She did not want to lose Avery as a friend , but more than that , she was afraid that Lewis would trouble Avery . She clutched her phone tightly , caught in a dilemma . Then , she replied to Avery . " He's forbidden me from seeing you , Avery . " Josephine had a mind to explain herself , but Avery was even more infuriated when she saw her response . Her voice note in reply was laced with fury . " Who is he to dictate who you're meeting ? On what grounds is he stopping you from seeing me ? Do you think that I'm the least bit afraid of him ? Josie , I'm telling you this straight out , I do not fear Lewis . Alvarez . If you are breaking off our friendship because of what he has to say , then I'm done . That's all . " Josephine was flustered . She immediately sent a reply to Avery , but all she got was a jarring , red exclamation mark on her screen . Her chest constricted . Avery had blocked her . She sprang up from her seat and ran out of the manor , hailing a taxi on her way out Josephine found the cafe empty when she got out of the taxi . She went straight up to the studio above and pushed open the door to find Avery in there . Avery heard the sound of the door opening and turned around . She was stunned to see Josephine standing there in her pajamas , panting heavily . She tossed her paintbrush aside and walked over to Josephine , a smile tugging at her lips . " Why are you here dressed like that ? " Josephine heaved , her face red as if she were about to burst into tears . Actually , she might already have cried on her way there . " Don't cut ties with me ! " Josephine signed .
