Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Brandon couldn't help but chuckle. "Rhody, I've always said you've got an eye for these things. Spot on, my friend. There's Oliver's future wife."

Josefina just stared blankly. "I'm not—"

"Not yet, but give it time," Rhody quipped with a mischievous grin.

Josefina sighed.

"Grandpa Brandon, Mr. Rhody, I've got some business at the company. I'll have to catch up with you later," she said swiftly, grabbing her purse and almost running out the door, shooting a text to her friend to meet up somewhere else.

Brandon turned to Bennett. "Hey, Bennett, hustle up and get the young madam her smoothie. Josie can't get enough of that stuff."

"Right away," Bennett replied.

Bennett took the freshly prepared smoothie and handed them off to a bodyguard to deliver. It wasn't that Bennett couldn't deliver them himself. It's just that the bodyguard was a more cost-effective choice. His old limbs couldn't keep up with the young madam's pace.

Clutching two cups of smoothie, Josefina arrived at another café.

After waiting for ten minutes, Livia made her entrance. Her long hair flowed down her back, and she was dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, flaunting legs that were both slender and statuesque. Her appearance turned heads throughout the café, with the few other patrons glancing over.

Rushing to Josefina, Livia exclaimed, "Josie, it's been ages!"

"Livia, you're being dramatic. It's only been a month," Josefina laughed.

"Josie, a day apart feels like an eternity. I've missed you every single day," Livia said as she hugged Josefina tightly.

Gently pushing her away, Josefina smiled, "Where's the stuff I asked for?"

Livia fished a bag out of her purse and handed it to Josefina. "Got everything right here. This trip was exhausting, Josie. You owe me dinner tonight."

"Deal, it's on me. You pick the place and time, send it over, and I'll bring Luke and Percy along," Josefina replied, tucking the items into her bag.

"Livia, go home first and see your folks. Your parents called me, asking where you were and when you're going to visit."

Livia impatiently waved her hand.

"They went to you again? I'll talk to them. I'm not a toddler who's going to get lost. Finals are over, and

should be able to go where I please without them breathing down my neck."

"Livia, I won't allow you to talk like that. Your parents care about you You're their daughter. They love you dearly, and you mustn't be е

disrespectful to them. I won't stand

for it," Josefina frowned. Content

Sitting close to Josefina, Livia took her hand and chuckled, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Don't be mad. I'll go see them in a bit, all right?"NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Josefina nodded, her expression softening. "That's more like it."

"Alright, you better head back and not keep them waiting. Remember to bring gifts. They'll love that."

Livia absorbed Josefina's gentle nagging with a smile and a nod before leaving the café.

After organizing her things, Josefina

noticed someone had taken the seat

across from her. She recognized the familiar presence without even

looking up-Oliver.

Dressed in a suit, Oliver's presence was as commanding as ever. "Josie." His voice was deep and magnetic, and his handsome face was hard to ignore.

Josefina teased, "Oliver, what kind of coffee brings you here in person?"

With a soft smile and an adoring gaze, Oliver replied, "Was that your friend?"

Josefina frowned, "Are you having me followed?"

"George was here for coffee and saw you laughing and chatting with a woman. Seemed pretty close."
