Josephine fell into a trance. Could a person change so much?
Her memories of him might have become blurry, but Wendy's video showed a stark contrast between his personality now and before.
He seemed to be two entirely different people.
Lost in thought, Josephine suddenly heard the sound of high heels clicking.
She and Wendy turned around to see Yona approaching.
They thought she would slack off again, but here she was.
Yona scanned the room before finally spotting Josephine. A smile curved on her lips, and she strolled over.
Josephine glanced at her skeptically, wondering what she was up to now.
Taking a seat opposite Josephine, Yona greeted, "Good afternoon."
Josephine and Wendy exchanged a glance. They both felt a sense of unease about Yona's intentions.
"Good afternoon. Is there something you need?" Josephine asked politely.
Yona rolled her eyes at Josephine. "I'm just saying hello. Why are you so surprised? Relax, I'm not here to make trouble for you."
Josephine's eyelid twitched slightly. She wasn't entirely convinced by Yona's words.
"Don't look at me like that. Well, on second thought, we're all in the same department. There's no need to make things so ugly. I'm still under contract, and it wouldn't benefit me to offend the company. It's not worth it."
Yona was right. While it seemed like Yona was causing trouble for Josephine, she was actually challenging the company. It was surprising she realized that.
"Really?" Wendy asked, her voice carrying a hint of pleasant surprise. It would certainly make things easier for everyone if Yona didn't cause trouble.
"Of course. Why else would I be sitting here?" Yona adjusted her hair and smiled at Josephine.
Josephine frowned, still not entirely convinced by Yona's words.
After all, people don't change their ways easily.
At least, that was the case with Lewis.
However, Yona became surprisingly active when work resumed in the afternoon to prove herself. She even voluntarily helped everyone carry things.
Many people stared at her as if she were a ghost.
Some speculated that she might be possessed. Others thought she might have had a good time with Lewis. It might have improved her mood and made her want to perform well.
After thinking it over, that seemed to be the only plausible explanation.
As long as she wasn't causing trouble, Josephine was content. She didn't have much to do. She only had to help Yona carry her bag or fetch water.
Perhaps out of boredom, Josephine started feeling sleepy while they were filming. She couldn't stop yawning.
Wendy noticed her dispirited face and walked over with concern. "Josephine, are you alright? Did you not sleep well last night?"
"Probably," Josephine rubbed her eyes and watched the ongoing filming with an exhausted gaze.
She hadn't slept much the previous night, so it was likely a result of poor sleep.
"In that case, you should rest early after work."
Josephine nodded and yawned again.
Judging by the situation, the crew would take at least another two hours to wrap up. Josephine slouched in her chair, her head drooping. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.
Someone shook her a few times, abruptly waking her up. Bewildered, she looked around and found a group of people standing before her.
"Are you okay? How could you fall asleep here?" Yona exclaimed.
Nicholas chimed in, "Are you feeling unwell? You should go to the hospital if you're not feeling well."
Suddenly surrounded by so many concerned faces, Josephine felt somewhat uncomfortable. Only then did she realize that she was still at work.
"I'm sorry. I didn't sleep well last night ..."
Yona rolled her eyes. "You really treat this place like your own home. I can't believe you sleep whenever you feel like it."
