What Separates Me and You



Josephine was blissfully unaware of everything that was going on with Lewis. After arriving at the office, Nicolas approached her to inform her that she would be Yona's assistant.

She had expected this, so she didn't react much. She simply asked, "Can I say no?"

Nicolas replied, "Actually, I wanted the company to sign you as an influencer here, but Mr. Allen said no. As such, you can only go with what the company has arranged for you."

Nicolas studied her as he spoke, adding, "You don't look like you're in desperate need of money. If you really can't stand it, don't force yourself to stay."

His insinuation was clear. She could just quit if she didn't agree to be Yona's assistant.

Though Josephine's clothes looked quite plain, it was not cheap. Her clothing can easily cost him a few months of his salary. As such, Nicolas fully expected her to just quit if she couldn't stand working for Yona.

Josephine was silent for a while before she nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll do it."

Nicolas was shocked when he heard that. He asked, "You've thought about it already?"

"Since I'm working here, I have to obey the arrangements that have been made for me. I'll be her assistant."

Nicolas looked at her in admiration before saying, "If that's the case, then your first task would be to ask her to come now." He huffed in annoyance before adding, "Getting her to come and film her parts every day is a challenge in itself."

Josephine nodded and then took a taxi to Yona's house. She had been there before, so she easily found Yona's place.

She rang the doorbell when she arrived but was met with no response. As such, she knocked on the door instead. After a while of knocking, Yona finally couldn't stand it anymore and pulled the front door open.

"You're so annoying! Why are you knocking so much?" Yona asked unpleasantly. She had received news this morning that Josephine was her new assistant and she had been waiting for her.

Josephine ignored her and simply replied, "Mr. Lager has asked me to get you to go to the filming site."

Yona took in Josephine's appearance, and a hint of a smile graced her face.

"I thought that you would be dignified and choose not to come to work for me at all. Just yesterday, you refused to buy me a drink, but today you're at my house asking me to go to work," Josephine mocked.

"Yesterday's events were in the past. Today's events are what matters. I'm just doing my job. So, are you going to work?" Josephine replied.

"Just wait for me!" Yona huffed as she slammed the door, leaving Josephine outside.

She was intentionally making things hard for Josephine. Josephine would have to stand outside her house until Yona felt like leaving. However, Josephine was completely unfazed and simply walked to the café downstairs to order herself a cup of coffee and watch videos on her phone.

Time flew when she was on her phone. She felt like it hadn't been long, but it had already been three hours.

During that time, Nicolas had called to rush her. Josephine explained that Yona had told her to wait and didn't allow her to enter the house.

As such, Nicolas also stopped calling. He knew Yona's personality well. He only asked Josephine to come up with a way to get Yona to go to work.

Yona thought Josephine would wait outside her house for three hours. She was shocked when she didn't see Josephine when she opened the doors three hours later.

Her shock eventually morphed into anger, and she seethed, "This bitch!"

Yona put on her shoes and grabbed her bag before stomping out and calling Josephine.

After the line connected, Yona's furious voice rang out, "Josephine! Where the hell are you? I asked you to wait for me, and you left? What type of assistant are you?"

"I didn't leave. I'm in the café downstairs," Josephine replied coolly.

That only served to infuriate Yona even more. She had forced herself to stay inside with no food for three hours. Yet, Josephine was happily sipping coffee downstairs.

"You..." Yona began but couldn't find the words to say.

Josephine's tone remained calm and collected as she asked, "Have you packed your things? If you're not done, I can wait a bit longer."

Yona was furious and hung up the phone.

She stormed to the café downstairs, which was relatively empty.

Josephine sat near the entrance with a cup of coffee, casually playing with her phone.

Yona stomped in front of Josephine and glared at her. Josephine seemed to sense Yona glaring at her and raised her head to ask, "Are you ready?" Yona sat in front of her and said, "I'm hungry. Buy me breakfast."

"What do you want?"

"Anything." After all, she would find something to critique regardless of what Josephine bought, so Yona had no opinion.

"Are you sure?" Josephine asked.

Yona glared at her again before she spat, "Did you not hear me? Are you planning on starving me to death? Go get me my food." "Alright." Josephine set down her phone. Then, she grabbed a menu, went to the counter, and ordered Yona a fruit salad.

Yona furrowed her brows at her actions and asked unhappily, "You're ordering me food from here?"

"You said you were fine with anything."noveldrama

Yona was once again rendered speechless by Josephine.

After a while, Yona's fruit salad arrived, but Yona had no appetite anymore.

"Josephine, it's almost noon, and this is all I'm eating? Do you even know how to be an assistant?"

Josephine's answering look was expressionless, but Yona was not one to back down. She screeched, "What are you looking at? I don't want to eat this garbage. Go buy me something else!"

After she was done, she heard Josephine sigh. Josephine pulled out a voice recorder from her pocket and placed it on the table. She pushed a button, and their conversation from just now played back to them.

Yona's face turned red, and she yelled, "How dare you record our conversation!"

"It's just a simple recording device for work," Josephine replied.

After that, she added, "If you don't want to eat this, I'll give you another chance to choose. What do you want to eat?"

Josephine's calm demeanor annoyed Yona to no end. Yona suddenly felt that she was the assistant instead. She hadn't expected Josephine to get on her nerves and make her lose her bearings.

Now that Josephine was asking her to choose what she wanted to eat, if Yona actually did that, wouldn't that mean that she was listening to Josephine's instructions?

As such, she picked up her bag and yelled as she left, "I'm not eating anymore!"

Josephine looked sympathetically at the untouched fruit salad in front of her and left as well.

The duo eventually arrived at the filming site, but it was already noon. Nicolas and the rest of the crew had already gone to have lunch, and the props were all still in the car.

They all knew what Yona was like since she was such a diva. Everyone decided that they would play along and not do their jobs properly.

"It seems like they all went out to eat already. See you later in the afternoon." Josephine looked at her phone and saw that Conrad had sent her a message.

Yona grabbed her arm as she was leaving and questioned, "Where are you going?"

"Getting lunch."

"Who said you could get lunch? You're my assistant! I still haven't eaten yet!"

Josephine flung her hand away as she replied, "I'm your assistant, not your personal assistant, nor am I your maid. I don't have to listen to you during lunchtime."

"Josephine Vance!" Yona yelled through gritted teeth.

Josephine ignored her and simply replied, "I went to get you at 9:00 am. You were the one who delayed things until now. You can't blame me for everyone not being here right now. If you want to eat, you can find food by yourself."

Josephine left without looking back after this, leaving Yona alone.
