“Kid, what do you know? Josie’s so talented. I don’t even know who’s worthy of such a gem of a girl.”
Luke felt the sting of his mom’s words!
“Mom, Josie’s got a good head on her shoulders when it comes to guys. She’s no lovesick puppy. Any guy she doesn’t fancy won’t even get to hold her hand. Don’t you worry. Josie’s no pushover.”
Katelyn chuckled and nodded, “Luke, you better come home tonight. Help me with the grocery shopping. I’ll make a feast with all of Josie’s favorites.”
“You got it.”
...
Josefina walked into the office and received a text from Brandon. [Josie, free this weekend? How about I take you to the Baldwin family estate? We could have a roast lamb feast. Let me know what you want, and I’ll have it prepped for you.]
[Josie, are you short on cash? I’ll transfer a billion to you. Go ahead and treat yourself.]
[Josie, I’ve been having these terrible headaches lately. Come check on me when you have the time, will you?]
Brandon sent a barrage of messages. Soon there was a notification sound of receiving a billion.
The text was silent, but the notification sound made everyone’s jaws drop as they stared at Josefina.
Everybody was shocked!
That’s a billion!
They stared at each other and then back at Josefina with newfound respect. What kind of man was after Ms. Josefina, to send a billion just like that for pocket money!
Josefina ignored the curious gazes around her and said to Alex, “Alex, come to my office.”
“Yes, Ms. Josefina.” Alex immediately stood up.
After Alex left, Josefina replied to Brandon’s messages. [Grandpa, I have enough pocket money, more than I can spend. I’ll transfer the money back to you later. I have plans with friends this weekend and can’t make it to your place, sorry.]
Seeing Josefina’s response, Brandon immediately consulted with Oliver, only to find out that he had not made any plans with Josefina for the weekend. Brandon was beside himself with worry.
“Bennett, check this out. What does Josie’s message mean?”
“She’s busy this weekend, and it’s not with Oliver. She wouldn’t happen to have a boyfriend, would she?”
Bennett, reading the text, was hesitant. “Sir, it’s hard to say.”
The two of them exchanged glances, completely baffled.
Just then, a servant came in. “Sir, Miss Lena is at the door. She insists on seeing you about something important.”
Brandon paused, wondering why Lena was here. “Let her in,” he said, curious to see what Lena was up to.
