Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 542

"Do you really think Josefina is that impressive?"

Ruby sighed, "Mom, as much as I hate to admit it, Josefina is out of our league right now. I've heard the rich families always have bodyguards around, even in the shadows. If I try to meet up with Josefina, her guards will definitely spot me. If anything happens, I'll be the scapegoat."

Lauren, clearly irritated, replied, "Ruby, you're giving that brat Josefina too much credit. In those elite circles, it's all about the men and the heirs. Do you honestly think they'd give a damn about a girl like Josefina?"

Ruby nodded, "You might be right, Mom. But I turned down Lena's offer, and if I go back to her now, she'll probably reject me, right?"

"You don’t need to go to her. Just stay home. I'm heading out to get some groceries."

Lauren left, looking deeply troubled as she walked into the back entrance of a grocery store.

...

Josefina came home with roasted duck and some cured meats.

Hattie had just finished getting her nails done, and the manicurist was still there.

Hattie called out, "Josie, come get your nails done. This manicurist is fantastic. Check it out."

Josefina, smiling, sat down, "Mom, I'll pass on the manicure. I’m not used to it."

Her job didn't allow for manicures. Even if she had them, she wouldn’t feel comfortable.

Hattie didn’t insist and smiled as she sent the manicurist away.

"Mom, I bought us some roasted duck and cured meats for dinner. I'm heading upstairs for a bit; I have a meeting. I’ll come down later to keep you company."

"Josie, you're so busy every day. It's hard work."

"Mom, I actually like being busy. I'm used to it. I'll be upstairs."

Josefina headed up.

...

Just as Josefina opened her laptop, her phone rang. It was Luke.

"Boss, we’ve got the bearded guy! Our people have him under control!"

"Send me the address. I’m on my way." Josefina shut her laptop, grabbed her keys, and left.

Stepping out of the elevator, Annika was bringing in the dishes and spotted Josefina, "Ms. Josefina, dinner is ready."

"I’ve got something to handle; I won’t be home for dinner."

Annika looked worried. What big deal was Josefina off to handle now?

Hattie, hearing Josefina's words, hurried over, "Josie, you’re going out this late? Whatever it is, let Dorian do it, or the butler."

"Mom, it's a personal matter I need to deal with. I’ll be back as soon as I can."

Seeing the urgency in Josefina’s demeanor, Hattie couldn't say much more, only reminding her to be quick.

Josefina hopped onto her motorcycle and sped off into the night.
