What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 462

Yona folded her arms and leaned against the door. She looked at them calmly. "No reason. I just don't like her."

Josephine frowned. They had just met for the first time. Why was Yona so hostile toward her?

She had no idea how Yona's mind worked.

Yet, Yona had already deemed Josephine a threat—not just to her role on the team, but also to her scheme to seduce Lewis.

After all, no one had seen Sierra for a long time. They could have broken up for all they knew. Her chance had come.

Sierra's admittance to the hospital was kept a secret. No one knew what had happened.

Yona, of course, didn't know about that either. She thought there was a great chance that Lewis and Sierra had broken up since Sierra was still absent as days passed.

Who knew if Lewis had decided to neglect her?

As that thought crossed her mind, Yona grew more determined. She looked at Wendy again, "That's all I have to say. Think about it."

"Yo—" Before Wendy could finish her sentence, the door closed with a bang.

Josephine and Wendy stared at each other.

Josephine was bewildered. She didn't expect to encounter such an issue on her first day of work.

She pressed her lips together. She was about to say something when Wendy broke the silence. "Let her be. Let's get back to the others."

Josephine was silent. She followed Wendy down and finally said, "It's okay. You should go and tell her I'll resign."

It wasn't a big deal to Josephine. Besides, she didn't think Nicolas would hold up their work progress just because of her, a newbie.

Why should she land herself in an awkward situation by returning to the others?

Wendy grabbed her hand. "Ignore her. Let's go back. It's not her first time acting out, anyway. Ever since becoming popular, she had been inciting all sorts of trouble daily. She's trying to get the management to break off the contract.

"Mr. Lager dislikes her too. So let's go back to Mr. Lager and tell him what happened. It's not your fault."

Josephine thought about it. Upon seeing the righteous look in Wendy's eyes, she felt touched and nodded. She decided to return with Wendy.

Wendy rambled on about Yona along the way. The management wouldn't discontinue the contract with Yona. They would hold out until the contract expired.

Yona wasn't very smart. She openly challenged the management, even though her contract had three more years. They could always figure out a plan to exhaust her fame if she kept that up.

After rejoining the group, Wendy told Nicolas about what had happened. Nicolas' face turned red with anger.

"The whole village is waiting for her, yet she refuses to come on a whim! Does she really think she's a big name now? She thinks our team revolves around her, huh?" Nicolas snapped.

No one dared to speak in the face of Nicolas' wrath.

Wendy gathered her courage and asked, "What should we do?"

Nicolas snorted. "She thinks we'll have to stop the shoot without her, right? Let her be. We'll proceed."

"But how?"

Nicolas scanned his surroundings. His gaze fell on Wendy's face. "Why don't you take her place?"

Wendy was stunned. Almost immediately, she smiled sheepishly. "Mr. Lager, you're kidding, right? I can't replace her. Besides, it's not up to us to switch her out."

Nicolas huffed, "The previous series has been completed anyway. It's common to use someone new for a new series. As for Mr. Connor, there's nothing to worry about. I'll talk to him."

Wendy waved her hands in disagreement. "No, that won't do, Mr. Lager. Look at me. I'm not even half as pretty as Yona. Besides, she has so many fans. They won't put up with someone who can't crush Yona in every aspect."

Nicolas thought about what she said. Wendy had a valid point. He kept scanning the crowd, his eyes moving past Josephine. But he suddenly halted and looked back at her.

Josephine froze. She had a bad feeling about this.

Nicolas sized her up. Suddenly, he smiled and pointed the script he held at her. "You. Come here."
