Chapter 66 Greed Brings Retribution
Josephine was stunned. She looked up to see Sierra angrily standing in front of her.
Sierra was not angry about the position being taken up. She was only angry at the fact that she had
barely left when Josephine had already replaced her.
Josephine looked at her without any response.
Sierra picked up the documents on the table and glanced at them before glaring at Josephine. Then,
she dumped everything on the desk into the trash bin.
The commotion had attracted many onlookers, and they whispered amongst each other. Sierra was
notoriously known to be a bully at the office. No one dared to offend her, she was under Lewis’s
protection, so they could do nothing about it
Sierra could not be bothered to argue with Josephine She headed for Lewis’s office, walking in directly
without even knocking Glaring at Lewis, she huffed, “Lewis, what is the meaning of this!”
Lewis was engrossed in his documents. He paused for a moment before looking up at Sierra.” What
are you talking about?”
Sierra pointed outside the door and said, “That bitch Why is she in your office? I left just yesterday, and
you brought her here today. What is the meaning of all this?”
Lewis stared at her without saying anything, but his gaze was overbearing.
Sierra suddenly felt a little sheepish Josephine was his legitimate wife Her making a fuss over
this was indeed a little out of line
However, she was angry He could have arranged for anyone to replace her, so why did he have to
choose Josephine? Was it to deliberately piss her offi
Lewis said, “I have my plans Since you want to go into acting, just focus on that. Don’t interfere with
office matters since you’ve already left.”

by your side She is already married to you. Now, she is even working with you What about me? Where
is my place in this? No matter what, I don’t agree with this arrangement. Get
her to leave!”
Lewis furrowed his brow. He barked, “Sierra, you’re being unreasonable!”
Sierra was taken aback by his yelling. She looked at him in disbelief. Was what she said
unreasonable?
After a moment, Sierra said, “Lewis, are you really not in love with her?”
Lewis hesitated a little. His brows creased even more. “Is that why you’re here? To talk about
this?”
Sierra went over next to him and hugged his arm. She looked at him and said, “I’m here to get my stuff.
I just didn’t expect to see Josephine here. Lewis, you told me that you only felt responsible for her.
“Since she’s just a chore you have to deal with, you can just give her money and pay for her life. Why
do you need to arrange for her to work in the office? She is mute. What can she do here? Why can’t
you just make her stay at home?”
Lewis held Sierra’s hand. His voice softened. “Sierra, I’ve already said that I have everything under
control. If you’re here to take your things, go and do it. If you’re not going to, just wait somewhere else.
I’m going to a meeting, okay?”
“So, you intend to keep her here?” Sierra glared at him, trying to make him change his mind. “Are you
going to make me repeat myself a third time?”
Sierra opened her mouth and tears fell. She said, hurt, “You don’t care about my feelings at all!
Lewis looked at her. His lips twitched, but he said nothing.
“Lewis, don’t be too greedy. If not, you’ll get what’s coming to you.”
Lewis smiled slyly. He lifted Sierra’s chin, nonchalantly wiped away her tears, and said, ‘ Everyone is
greedy. Aren’t you as well?”
Sierra was a little stunned; she looked at Lewis intensely. She had always wanted to know what sort of
woman would be able to rein a man like him in. He might seem deeply affectionate, but only Sierra
knew how detached and aloof he was. It was as if nothing of this world mattered to him.
No one could have his heart.
“Yes, so we will get what’s coming for us.” Sierra let go of him. She stood up and said, “If you insist on
having her at the office, promise me one thing.”
“Tell me.”
“If she’s in the office during the day, you can’t go back with her at night. I don’t want her to hog you day
and night. You promised me that you wouldn’t see her for three months, but you broke your promise!”
Lewis pinched his brow. He leaned back on his chair and said, “Are you so confident that I won’t keep
my promise this time?”
“You’re right. How could I trust that you said that you’d care for me for my entire life?” Sierra asked in
retort.
She had long known that promises to him were just throwaway things. He was not the type of
person that kept promises. He merely made promises so he could do the things that he wanted to do.
Lewis raised his eyebrow “You can choose not to trust me
Sierra was at a loss for words. She said angrily, “Forget it I can’t be bothered to argue with you on this
I’m going to get Josephine to help me carry my things. Can I at least do that ?“
“You can ask her yourself. If she agrees, I have no objection.”
Sierra picked up the internal office phone and said playfully, “I want you to tell her. Don’t tell me that
you can’t even do such a small thing for me?”
Lewis looked at the phone in her hand without accepting it “What are you planning on taking?
“Just some daily necessities. Don’t worry, I would never dare to make your wife do hard labor!”
She almost said the word wife through gritted teeth. That also seemed to have provoked Lewis and his
expression darkened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, he grabbed the phone from Sierra and dialed the internal line.
Josephine retrieved all the documents from the trash and studied them seriously. She did not care what
Lewis’s purpose was in making her come to the office Since she was already there, she decided to
work hard. It was good that she could learn a thing or two too as this could add some color to her
otherwise boring life
The phone rang and she quickly picked it up. Lewis’s voice came through “Help Sierra carry some
things.” Then, he hung up, leaving Josephine in a daze for a long time.
After a short while, Sierra strutted over in her heels. She slapped Josephine’s desk. “You hear that?
Let’s go
Josephine looked at the phone in her hand. Lewis actually asked her to help Sierra carry things.
She pursed her lips and put the phone down. Then, she stood up and signed. “Carry what?”
Sierra did not understand what Josephine was signing, but neither was she planning on learning to
understand her. She packed up a few of her belongings and placed a box on the desk. “You’ll carry this
Josephine lifted the box. It was so bulky and heavy that it blocked her view when she lifted it up. She
had to cock her head to the side to see where she was going
She followed Sierra to the elevator when Lewis walked over with some documents in his
hands. The three of them met.
Josephine’s view was blocked by the box so she could not see him, but Sierra saw him and went up to
him to hug his arm.
“Lewis, thank you so much. I don’t know how I was going to carry such a huge box by myself.”
Lewis swept an ambivalent look at the box in Josephine’s arms. He said nothing and merely pressed
the button on the elevator.
Josephine quietly stood by the corner, clutching the box tightly, as if she was an outsider witnessing
two flirting love birds.
She was glad that the box was big enough to hide her embarrassment.
