Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 223

When Josefina woke up that morning, Oliver’s side of the bed was cold and empty. It was as if last night’s kisses and embraces were nothing more than a fleeting dream.

After freshening up and getting dressed, Josefina made her way downstairs. The smell of bacon and pancakes filled the air, signaling that breakfast was already underway.

Josefina had noticed that her family’s morning routines seemed to revolve around her own. No matter how busy Garrett was, he always made a point to join her for breakfast. And Hattie, well, she wouldn’t dream of starting her day without sharing a meal with her.

Lena noticed that the family was going out of their way to keep Josefina company for both breakfast and dinner, and had to sync her schedule with theirs.

As Josefina sat down, Lena spoke up, “Mom, I’m free today. How about I tag along with you to the site inspection?”

Hattie looked surprised. “Don’t you have rounds at the hospital?”

“Not today, Mom. I’m itching to get out of the house. Shopping and watching TV can only take you so far. Josefina has the company to occupy her time, but I’ve got nothing.” Lena tried to mask her dejection with a smile. “I see how hard Josefina works, and I don’t want to lag behind.”

Hattie exchanged a glance with Garrett before responding to Lena, “Alright, darling. You can join me today.”

Josefina raised an eyebrow. Was Lena thinking of running a business too?

It didn’t matter to Josefina. The Harrison family business was for the Harrisons to run as they saw fit.

...

On her way to work, Josefina received a call.

“Josie, I’ve got what you need. Meet you at our usual spot?”

Josefina couldn’t hide her excitement. “Absolutely, I’ll be there waiting.”

She drove to their rendezvous, a quaint little cafe known for its creamy lattes and artisan pastries. Ordering herself a latte, Josefina settled in to wait. That was when Brandon walked in.

“Josie, is that you? I thought I recognized you from outside. Just had to come in and check.”
