What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 471

After some thinking, Lewis blurted out, "I'll try my best."

He did not overcommit. Still, Sierra found his rational answer more reassuring than a confident yes. Based on her past experiences, the more easily he agreed to something, the more likely he'd go back on his word.

A promise that he had carefully mulled over was one that he would keep.

Joy reappeared on her face, even though she looked more frightening when she smiled than when she was not.

Josephine overheard their conversation outside the room. She smirked and quietly left the hospital.

At first, she had wanted to head to the filming set after bidding goodbye to Avery. Somehow, she ended up overhearing Sierra's two requests at the hospital.

Once again, she witnessed Lewis' unconditional love for Sierra. He would say yes to anything Sierra wanted. Even though she had been disfigured, she still held an important place in his heart.

"If that was the case, why did Lewis force me to stay by his side?" Josephine wondered.

Was it greed that drove him to want her and Sierra?

Josephine had no answer to that. When she left the hospital, the sun was hidden behind the clouds. The sky looked dreary, like it was going to rain soon.

She went into the car. The two bodyguards seated in front drove her around.

She found Seth's contact in her WhatsApp and clicked into their conversation. He had not sent any message. His silence made her doubt his promise to leave with her.

As she tightened her grip on her phone, a thought occurred to her. She almost wanted to leave this place by herself.

Still, she dared not bet on the chance of success. If she were caught in the process, it would be impossible for her to plot her next escape.

Sighing, she tucked away her phone and temporarily dismissed her desire to leave.

Back at the filming set, everyone was present except for Yona. Nicolas immediately approached Josephine and asked, "Where's she?"

Josephine scanned the area and frowned. "Is she not here yet?"

"I wouldn't have asked you if she were here. What are you doing? You can't even get her to show up!"

"She dropped by in the morning, but everyone was off work at that time. I bet she was impatient from the waiting and went home."

Nicolas almost laughed at the absurdity of it. He said crossly, "It's tough enough to handle Yona. Now, there's you. Are you guys fighting? Is that why she is absent to spite you?"

Josephine remarked, "Isn't that what she's after when she made me her assistant?"

She successfully shut him up. Indeed, Yona had made her the assistant just to land her in trouble. Nicolas agreed to the arrangement and was therefore responsible. It wasn't Josephine's fault at all.

Feeling even more irritated, he put his hands on his waist and paced the area. Then, he bellowed, "I'm not filming today! Do whatever you like! Fuck this! This isn't even my company. I don't fucking owe anything to anyone!"

He kicked the trashcan beside him and left in a car. Those who were left behind at the set exchanged looks.

"What do we do? Are we not filming today?" someone asked blankly.

"He's gone. We can't get any filming done." A few others left the set. After that, everyone started trickling out.

Only Wendy remained at the set. She went up to comfort Josephine, "Mr. Lager is always hot-tempered. Please don't take it personally. This isn't his first outburst."
