After the CEO left, Josefina picked up her phone and called Luke, instructing him to dig up some dirt on these two characters.
"Boss, you think someone's out to get you?" Luke asked, a note of concern in his voice.
"If they were after me, they wouldn't be letting me keep all the profits. They even said we should do a quality check of the clothes ourselves."
Luke fell silent. "Oh, I got it. These folks just wanna line your pockets."
Josefina let out a sigh. "Just get on it, Luke. Let me know as soon as you find something."
After hanging up, Josefina sketched a new design before Walter's call came through. With a chuckle, Walter asked, "Josie, my dear, remember you're joining me at my art show today, right?"
"Of course I do. I've sent over the suit I designed to your hotel. Make sure to check it out."
Walter beamed with delight. "Josie, you know me so well. Your designs are always a perfect fit." He couldn't wait to show off to Alfie later on and boast about the suit Josie had crafted just for him.
"Please don’t reveal my identity at the show today, okay?"
Walter was slightly displeased but agreed nonetheless. "Josie, you're too modest. You're so talented. I wish the whole world knew you're my most prized apprentice!"
Josefina chuckled, "I prefer to keep a low profile. I've just reunited with my family, and I don't want them getting the wrong idea about me."
After all, to them, she was just a poor little thing discarded by the Antonio family. Suddenly, flaunting various titles and having to explain them all would be too much hassle. It would be better to fly under the radar than to court disaster.
