Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 378

Grant's grin stretched from ear to ear as Josefina gave her nod of approval. "Rosa, I’m happy to hear that you like it. Teach me how to tie a tie, would you?"

"Sure."

Josefina held a sleek tie in her hands as Grant stooped low, making it easier for her to loop the fabric around his neck.

As the tie slithered over Grant's collar, he remained crouched, hoping to make things a bit more comfortable for Josefina. Her slender fingers danced before Grant's eyes, and in just a moment, the knot was perfect.

"Look in the mirror, see for yourself," Josefina said, beaming with pride.

Grant studied his reflection, while Josefina standing by his side the whole time. With a quick motion, he whipped out his phone, capturing the rare moment.

When he turned to Josefina, his face twisted with mock distress. "Rosa, I think I forgot how it's done. Would you mind going through it again?"

"Of course, just pay attention this time."

Grant summoned one of his guys over to record the lesson. He squatted down, ready to learn once more. Undoing the tie, she tried again, smooth and uninterrupted.

The guy filming was nearly slack-jawed with surprise. Grant was like a wild stallion, and here was Josefina, the expert horse whisperer, taming him. In her presence, Grant was as docile as a cuddly puppy.

Unbelievable!

"All set, now. Just practice a bit more at home. If it's too much, ask one of the maids to help you. I'm sure they'd be capable, too."

"I'll learn by myself. You taught me, Rosa, and I'm going to get it right."

They shared a smile, a picture-perfect moment. The guy caught the exchange on camera, preserving the sweetness.

"Sir, the lord of Demon's Isle has arrived. Mr. Hayden is asking for you and Ms. Rosa to join him," one of the servants reported.

Oliver's gaze shifted to Josefina and Grant, walking shoulder to shoulder. For some reason, his mood soured, a prickling irritation flashing in his eyes.

Hayden, ever the jovial host, introduced them. "Grant, this is Hellfire, the lord of Demon's Isle."

"Welcome to Rose Bay Island, Mr. Hellfire," Grant said with a dismissive tone, then turned to Josefina with a softer voice. "Rosa, take a seat over there. Why stand when you can rest?"

Josefina nodded with a smile and chose the chair furthest from Oliver.

Oliver thought, "Is Grant hostile towards me? What did I ever do to him?"

Hayden, oblivious to the undercurrents among the younger crowd, continued, "Hellfire is here regarding the cultivation of Lucifer's Breath. We just showed him the saplings and, two hours in, they're still thriving. All thanks to you, Rosa."

Oliver's gaze once again fell on the unremarkable Josefina.
