Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 571

When Josefina woke up, the clock hands were pointing to three in the afternoon.

She blinked in confusion and checked the time again. It felt like she had just closed her eyes for a quick nap.

Springing out of bed, her mind started racing.

"Oliver, why didn't you wake me up?"

"Don't worry," Oliver replied, "I called your assistant and told him you'd be in later."

Josefina could only sigh.

"Oliver, why didn't you wake me when you got up? Don't you have work today?"

Oliver sat up, rubbing his face to shake off the sleepiness, despite the late hour.

"I'll drive you to the office," he offered.

"No need, I can get there on my own."

Having gathered her things, Josefina grabbed her purse and headed out the door.

As she passed the assistants' area, she noticed their embarrassed glances and felt a wave of awkwardness wash over her. She hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, but imaginations were clearly running wild.

...

Arriving at the office, Kale greeted her. "Ms. Josefina, a gentleman named Grant has been asking for you."

Grant was here?

Josefina made her way to the lounge and pushed open the door to find the slightly tanned Grant waiting for her.

His face lit up upon seeing her. "Rosa, it's been too long."

"Grant, you should've called. I could've picked you up from the airport."

"I know how busy you are. Didn't want to bother you. I hope I'm not intruding."

"Of course not," Josefina smiled. "Let me book a hotel for you; I'll have someone pick you up and take you there to rest. Have you eaten? I could take you out for a meal?"

"I've already eaten."

"Alright then. I'll have someone come for you. Rest up, and I'll take you out tonight to catch up. How's that sound?"

Grant nodded. "Rosa, I'll leave it all in your hands."

"Lena's condition is quite bizarre," Wang reported. "Though she injured her leg, tests reveal her internal organs are also damaged."

Josefina was shocked. "How can that be?"

"We have guards on her, and her meals are all safe. No chance of poisoning."

"I'll come right away."

Grabbing her purse, Josefina was out the door in a flash.

"Kale, I have to step out. Handle what you can, and call me if there's anything urgent."

"Will do, Josie."

Kale watched her hurry out, a look of concern crossing his face.

...

At the hospital, Officer Wang was waiting for Josefina.

Just as she was about to enter, someone called out to her.
