Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 596

Livia's words drifted over to Oliver as well.

"Josie, mind if I come find you?"

Josefina couldn't help but laugh as she shared her location with Livia. With a playful tone, Livia teased, "Josie, Oliver's really got a soft spot for you, huh?"

"How would you know? You've barely met him," Josefina retorted.

"Finley filled me in. He said Oliver's completely smitten. Never seen him fall so hard for anyone," Livia replied.

"Finley's quite the chatterbox, isn't he?" Josefina noted.

Livia burst out laughing. It was one of those joy-filled days.

...

When Oliver saw Josefina, he gently took her hand in his.

"Oliver, aren't you supposed to be at work today? I've only got half the day off; I need to head back to the office this afternoon," she said.

"If Josie's not working, then neither am I. I want to spend the whole day with you. Sounds good, right?" he said with a grin.

Josefina was momentarily speechless.

"How did you know I wasn't at the office, Oliver?" she asked.

"I called Kale, and he told me you took half the day off," Oliver explained.

Josefina shook her head with a smile, checking her phone to find a message from Kale she had missed earlier.

As they walked together, Josefina's phone rang again. This time, it was Dorian.

"Josie, do you have some time today? Could you swing by my office at two?"

"Dorian, what's up?"

"It's a personal matter. Can you make it?" Dorian's voice had a note of anticipation.

Josefina had never been to the Harrison family conglomerate, let alone Dorian's office.

"Dorian, see you at two," she agreed.

Though she wasn't sure what Dorian needed, if he was reaching out, it must be important.

After hanging up, Josefina turned to Oliver. "Sorry, I can't spend the whole day with you after all. Dorian's asked me to drop by his company."

His handsome face was inches from hers, and Josefina's heart skipped a beat.

Their eyes met, and Josefina's cheeks flushed red.

"Josie, are you blushing?"

She bowed her head, unable to meet Oliver's gaze again.

Facing those tender eyes, how could she not feel shy?

"Let's get going. Dorian's waiting," she murmured.

Oliver drove off with a smile, while Josefina sipped her latte, head down.

...

Upon reaching the parking lot, Josefina unbuckled her seatbelt. "I'll head up now; you should go back."

She stepped out of the car and made her way into the company. After telling the receptionist she was there to see Dorian, someone ushered her upstairs with utmost respect.

Josefina was curious—what could Dorian possibly need to discuss with her?
