Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 540

"Absolutely, I'm over the moon!"

Ruby just stared, speechless.

Josefina was a tough nut to crack.

"Chatting with you is wasting my precious time. Unlike you, I actually have things to do."

With that, Josefina walked away.

Ruby wanted to retort, but there was no one there to hear her. She stomped her foot in frustration.

...

Josefina headed to a nearby coffee shop to discuss a partnership with Fox.

Fox placed a gift in front of Josefina and opened the box to reveal an expensive ladies' watch.

"Ms. Josefina, thank you for giving our company a chance. This watch is just a small token of appreciation. I hope you'll accept it."

Josefina set down her coffee cup, her red lips parting slightly, "Mr. Fox, our collaboration is mutually beneficial. The gift is too generous; I can't accept it. Please take it back."

"Ms. Josefina, if it weren't for the opportunity you gave us, our company wouldn't have made such a comeback. Please, accept the gift."

"Mr. Fox, I really can't accept your gift. Our companies have a professional relationship. If someone with an agenda sees this, they might think I accepted a bribe to work with you."

Fox quickly reassured her, "Ms. Josefina, you needn't worry. I chose this coffee shop precisely because it's off the radar. I picked a secluded spot, and the gift was passed under the cover of plants, ensuring no third party would see."

Josefina was silent.

Had he thought everything through so meticulously?

Still, Josefina refused and, with a smile, gestured towards Ruby tucked away in a corner, "Isn't that someone we know?"

Alex sat down, cautiously inquiring, "Ms. Josefina, will you stop coming to the office after school starts?"

"I won't neglect the company, but I'll be less involved. We need someone here every day, which I can't guarantee. As you know, I have other businesses to manage. Before I leave, I'll find someone to take my place, to lead the team in growing the company even more."

Alex sighed, "Ms. Josefina, what will I do after you're gone? Without your guidance, without your leadership, I'm afraid I won't be able to produce satisfactory designs."

Alex had always known that his success was not possible without Josefina's help.

He wished Josefina would stay at the company forever, but he also knew that wasn't possible. She had other commitments and her studies to attend to.

Josefina reassured him, "I believe in you. Your success is the result of your own hard work. Alex, have faith in yourself."

For the moment, Josefina decided not to tell Alex that he might be her replacement.

She continued, "Alex, I have faith in you, and I see great potential. Keep it up."
