Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 184

"I've told Mr. Oliver to seize the opportunity, given how fond he is of Ms. Josefina," remarked the butler, a knowing twinkle in his eye.

Both shared a smile, their happiness evident.

Josefina recorded the deluge pounding outside and sent it to Hattie, explaining she was stuck and would head home when the rain eased up.

Hattie peered through her window at the clear blue skies, utterly baffled by Josefina's video. [Josie, it's all sunshine and rainbows here. How on earth is it pouring buckets at your end?] She shook her head, "That's just not adding up."

Comparing the photo Hattie had sent back, Josefina couldn't deny the stark contrast.

[Josie, better stay put for now. The rain's coming down way too hard for safe driving. Even the Baldwin family's seasoned chauffeurs can’t drive in this weather. I'm worried.]

[Alright, no worries. I'll head back once the rain lets up.] Josefina replied, then dialed Luke to cancel their dinner plans. This rain didn't look like it would stop anytime soon.

Luke grumbled, "Do you think the Baldwin clan pulled some strings for a rain dance just to keep you there?" Frustration laced his voice. "I've got all the grub ready, and now you're stuck with them!"

The Baldwins sure played a crafty game!

As Josefina gazed out, Luke's words echoed in her mind. "I'll go check it out," she said, hanging up.

Stepping outside, Josefina encountered Oliver. With his glasses on, he stood out sharply.

"I want to show you something."
