Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 600

"Don't worry about it, I can get home by myself."

Hearing Josefina's slurred speech through the phone, Oliver knew she’d had more than her fair share of drinks.

"I'm on my way, Josie. Don't you dare hang up," Oliver said, already making his way out of the office and heading straight for his car.

Josefina clutched her phone tightly, her cheeks flushed with a mix of innocence and desire.

Alex noticed Josefina reaching for another pint of beer and quickly grabbed the glass from her hand.

"Ms. Josefina, you've had enough. You're hammered."

Josefina pouted, "Uh... I'm not drunk. I can handle more."

Despite her attempt to reclaim the beer, Alex held firm.

Kale chimed in, "Ms. Josefina, let me drive you home. You've had too much to drink."

Just then, Oliver's authoritative voice boomed through the phone, "Don't worry about it. I'll be there shortly."

The mysterious male voice piqued everyone's curiosity.

Ms. Josefina's boyfriend?

He sure sounded like it.

The office crew was in the dark about Josefina's love life, unaware of this development.

Seeing the situation, Alex didn't press the offer to take Josefina home any further.

Josefina still insisted on drinking, but the group wasn’t having it.

Alex kept a watchful eye, suggesting she lean back in her chair and rest for a bit.

"I can still drink," insisted Josefina, standing up a bit wobbly.

As she teetered on the brink of falling, Alex instinctively reached out to catch her.

That's when Oliver arrived, almost sprinting to scoop Josefina into his arms.

Alex's hand closed on thin air.

The car jolted over a speed bump, rattling her further.

Frowning, Josefina grumbled, "Oliver, where are you taking me with all this shaking? You better not be up to no good."

"If I were up to no good, would you let me?" Oliver teased.

"In your dreams! I wouldn't let you have your way. Oliver, I want some water."

Oliver pulled over, grabbed a bottle of room-temperature water from the glove compartment, unscrewed the cap, and held it to Josefina's lips.

Cradling the bottle, Josefina gulped down half its contents.

"Ugh, I wanna sleep."

Oliver sighed, "..."

"Hang in there, Josie. We're almost home," he urged, pressing the gas pedal as the car surged forward.

Oliver drove on, taking the inebriated Josefina back to his place...
