Alex was momentarily taken aback before nodding in appreciation. "Thanks, Ms. Josefina."
"Aren't you afraid I might do you harm?" Josefina asked with a playful smile.
Jade responded with a grin, "Ms. Josie, you wouldn't hurt us."
With a hint of concern, Alex said, "You've just met Ms. Josefina, and you're already falling for her?"
It was as though a lightbulb went off in his head, and he shook Jade's shoulders. "Jade, don't lose your mind! You're a girl, and so is Ms. Josefina!"
Jade rolled her eyes exasperatedly. "Who says a girl can't like another girl?"
Alex was left flabbergasted, but Josefina just laughed. "Why don't you guys take a stroll around the neighborhood? Give me a call if you run into any trouble. I've got to run. I have other matters to attend to."
Josefina left them to their own devices to get acquainted with the surroundings. She exited the upscale gated community, and Ruby spotted her as she left.
Ruby was waiting for Xavier and was stuck at the entrance. She wasn't allowed inside. Xavier had explained that his family didn't approve of their relationship, so they had to keep it a secret.
Seeing Josefina drive off in a high-end car, Ruby couldn't believe her eyes. "How can she afford such a fancy ride? Did she find another man in this posh neighborhood?"
Ruby snapped a photo and sent it to Billy. "Dad, look at the car she's driving. She must have found herself a wealthy boyfriend. If she could help the Antonio family, that would be amazing. You wouldn't have to work so hard anymore."
Billy, receiving the message, fell deep into thought. Xavier’s family were loaded, but he hadn't been able to get a cent from them. Wouldn't it be great if Josefina could be of help?
