Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 126

"Where's your bodyguard?"

Jett and Tori had some business to attend to today; Josefina had sent them on an errand, and they hadn't returned yet.

"They took the day off," Josefina bluffed with a straight face.

Oliver just hummed in response, a sound laden with unspoken understanding, giving Josefina the eerie feeling that he could see right through her. Shaking off the sensation, Josefina was acutely aware of how transparent she seemed to be in front of Oliver.

"I'll give you a lift home," Oliver offered.

"Thanks," Josefina nodded in appreciation.

She settled into the passenger seat as Oliver drove.

During the ride, Oliver noticed Josefina had fallen asleep. He parked the car, gently took off his suit jacket, and draped it over Josefina before restarting the engine.

When they arrived at the Harrison family's residence, Oliver didn't get out of the car, choosing instead to wait for Josefina to wake up.

...

Hattie emerged from the kitchen, clutching a lunchbox, attempting a stealthy escape when Garrett came downstairs.

"What brings you here?" Hattie asked, surprised.

"Josie's my little girl; of course, I worry about her. She didn't come home tonight, and who knows if she's eaten. I was about to bring her some food," Garrett explained.

Hattie chuckled, "I had the same thought. Let's go together."

As they were about to leave, they heard the elevator arrive and quickly hid behind a table.

Grandpa Robert stepped out of the elevator and into the kitchen. Soon, he too appeared, lunchbox in hand. As Grandpa Robert was about to leave, he also heard the elevator and hastily surveyed his surroundings before ducking behind the table.
