Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 947

As Josefina was about to speak, a man's voice chimed in, echoing through the conversation. "Isn't Shawn the black sheep of the medical world? My dad's mentioned him—he's got the skills but uses them for all the wrong reasons."

"Yeah, Shawn's got a real talent for medicine, but he's always been into these bizarre, almost unethical experiments. Eventually, the med school gave him the boot, and rumor has it he skipped town."

"He left because he was a wanted man. Our country doesn't tolerate those kinds of experiments, so he hightailed it to some island."

Josefina jumped in, "That's exactly who I'm talking about. If you hear anything about him, please get in touch with me right away."

"Dr. Gregory, if he’s tangled with you, he’s really in over his head. Your medical expertise must be leagues ahead of his!"

Josefina laid it out firmly, "If any of you come across him, don't tip him off. Let me know first. I’ll make sure to repay the favor when you need my help!"

Everyone knew that having Dr. Gregory in your corner was like hitting the jackpot. No way were they letting that slip by.

"Rest easy, Dr. Gregory. If I catch wind of anything about Shawn, you'll be the first to know."

"I'm in too! I've got your back, Dr. Gregory, all the way."

The others just rolled their eyes, thinking, Wow, if you're that slick with words, why not aim for the moon and chat with the sun!

So...

"Dr. Gregory, I’ll rally my entire family to help track down Shawn!"

"My dad's on a business trip to the island. I’ll have him keep an eye out for you!"

"I'm headed to the island today, Dr. Gregory. Don’t worry, I’ll dig up some info on Shawn for you!"

"I’ve got a plane ticket too, just heading there for some work."

Josefina was taken aback by their eagerness. She knew they were keen to team up, but she hadn’t expected such enthusiasm.

"Hang on," Josefina advised, "Don’t all rush there at once. We don’t want him catching wind of it."

"Director Orla, your team’s talent is clear too. I’ll whip up a few more pieces today. Soon, I might not have as much time to focus on the company’s designs."

"Thanks for all your hard work, Ms. Josefina. I’ll bring you some fruit." Orla got up and left.

...

Josefina stepped out of the office and onto the street. The sky was a dull gray, and a chilly breeze swept through, making her pull her coat tighter.

Just then, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan pulled up in front of her, the window rolling down to reveal Oliver’s strikingly handsome face.

"Josie, hop in."

Josefina climbed into the car, and Oliver handed her a steaming cup of hot chocolate. In the cold weather, it was the perfect comfort.

"Oliver, how about we go for some fondue or maybe roast beef tonight?"
