What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 466

Albert's head throbbed when he heard Yona wanted another assistant.

If it weren't for her legions of adoring fans, Albert wouldn't even care about her. However, if she decided to terminate her contract now, the movie might fall apart.

"You can just settle this matter with Nicolas. Isn't the newbie that you want in your team?"

"Well, I thought I would tell you about my plans first! In any case, does this mean that I can have her as my assistant?" Yona asked gleefully.

"It's really none of my business," Albert replied curtly before hanging up.

Yona didn't even care that he was so curt. He hadn't said no, so that meant that he agreed.

It was 3:00 pm when the shoot ended. None of them had had their lunch yet.

Nicolas decided to treat everyone to lunch, but Yona refused and left after packing up her things.

Wendy held Josephine's hand as she said, "Let's go! You've just arrived today, and it's the perfect time to get to know everyone!"

Josephine nodded in agreement and was about to leave with Wendy when her phone rang.

She pulled out her phone and saw that it was Conrad calling her.

Josephine gently pried her hand off Wendy's hand and said, "I have to pick up this call."

She walked to a secluded corner and picked up the phone before saying to the receiver, "Hello?"

"Madam, I've brought you something. Can you come to the parking lot to get it?" Conrad asked.

"What did you bring?"

"Your medication."

Josephine's stomach churned at his reply.

Conrad continued, "If you can't come to the parking lot, I can come in and pass it to you instead."

Though Conrad had sounded respectful when he said that, he knew she didn't want anyone to know she knew him. So, by offering to send in the medication himself, he was, in a way, forcing Josephine to come out.

Josephine also knew what he was insinuating, and after a moment of silence, she replied, "I'm coming over now."

She hung up before she turned to Wendy to say, "You go ahead first. I have something to take care of."

Wendy was stunned for a split second as she asked, "You're not coming with us?"

Josephine lightly nodded and replied, "I'm sorry."

"That's alright. There will be more opportunities in the future. You can go ahead and deal with whatever you need to do."

"Okay."

After Josephine bid her goodbyes to Wendy, she turned to walk toward the parking lot.

Even from a distance, she could see Conrad waiting for her. Conrad also noticed her arrival and quickly returned to the car to take out a box.

"Madam, here's your herbal concoction."

Josephine had reached out to take the box but stopped in her tracks at his words. She raised her head to look at Conrad and said, "Could you not call me 'Madam'?"

"Well …" Conrad stammered. He had no idea how to reply, so he decided to just change the topic entirely.

"Here's your herbal concoction. You should have it while it's still warm."

Josephine decided to just let the matter go as well and opened the box. In it was a small bowl.

The bitter smell of her herbal concoction hit her senses like a truck. Josephine took a deep breath and held it before she gulped down the medication.

It was an old prescription, so the taste was also familiar.

After finishing the concoction, Josephine covered her mouth with her hand and leaned against the side of the car, retching for quite a while before finally being able to stomach the bitter contents.

Who would've thought she would still be haunted by this bitter medication even after starting her job?

Conrad quickly rummaged through a bag to retrieve a mint and passed it to her.

"Please have this mint, Madam. It will get rid of the bitter taste."

Josephine's eyes were tightly shut. She pushed his hand away before she said, "No, thank you."

Lewis put down the newspaper and got off the couch to walk to her.

He stopped right before her and scanned her appearance lazily before saying, "What's wrong? Are you upset because I didn't allow you to be in the video?"

"What do I have to be upset about? Now everyone thinks that you were at my department today to support Yona. In fact, thanks to you, I'm about to be her assistant too."

Lewis barked a short laugh at that. "Jealous?" he asked.

Josephine paused for a while before she shot him a glare. "Don't be ridiculous."

After that, Josephine turned to leave. But Lewis caught her wrist before she could and pulled her backward into him.

He was strong, and Josephine hadn't expected him to do something like that. As such, she crashed heavily into his arms.

Lewis didn't give her a chance to struggle at all. He snaked an arm around her waist to trap her in his arms.

Lewis lowered his head slightly to look into her eyes before he said, "Then, why are you angry?"

Josephine frowned and pushed him. "Let go of me!"

"If you don't want to see her, she can be replaced."

Josephine was still struggling to escape his arms. Upon realizing she couldn't escape, she met his eyes to exclaim, "Let go of me first!"

His expression darkened at her reaction. He cupped her chin before he asked in confusion, "Do you hate me that much?"

Josephine turned away from his piercing gaze and grumbled, "I'm glad you know I do."

He laughed as he traced her cheek lightly with his finger before he tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Well, I can't have you hating me."

Josephine stayed silent at that. She had completely given up on the possibility of him ever letting her go. No matter what she said now, Lewis would never let her go. Conversely, it might even anger him instead.

If he were to become angry, he might lose his sanity, and once he had lost his sanity, who knows what he might do to her?

"You haven't had anything to eat yet, right? Let's go." Lewis finally let go of her and pulled her to the dining room by the arm.

Josephine followed obediently behind him before finally blurting out, "Can you not come to my department in the future?"
