Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 155

“Are you not just Josefina? A woman who climbed the ladder with her looks?”

Josefina let out a soft chuckle. “I topped the science final exam this year, and I’m the long-lost legitimate daughter of the Harrison family. Ava, I’m sitting in this seat because my parents handed me the company, and I’m running my own business!”

“What!” Ava was gobsmacked. This was nothing like the gossip she had heard.

Josefina continued, “Whoever’s trying to use you is just making you a pawn. If you’re in any kind of trouble, I can help.”

Ava’s interest was piqued, but just as she was about to speak, she remembered something and shook her head. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. No one’s pulling my strings. I just can’t stand you! Sue me if you want. I’ve got nothing to lose!”

Ava stood up to leave, as if another second in Josefina’s presence would reveal all her secrets.

Josefina watched her go, and her brow furrowed in concern. Who could wield such influence? She hadn’t crossed anyone that powerful, had she?

Puzzled, Josefina left the jailhouse.

...

She had barely returned to the company when she got a call from Luke.

“Boss, someone’s offering a cool billion for you to paint a picture.”

Josefina was shocked. “What kind of painting?”

Luke chuckled. “Boss, this person must be your secret admirer. They’re asking for a portrait of you.”

He sent over the photo, and Josefina recognized it immediately; it was one taken by Oliver. She remembered the outfit she wore in her office that day quite distinctly.

“Boss, I reckon your admirers could line up from here to the streets of Paris!”
