Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 228

Josefina said dryly,"Alex, have you finished the design sketches I asked you to do?"

Alex scratched his head again. "No, Ms. Josefina, I'm not done yet."

Josefina remained silent and quickly walked to the office, entering the private restroom inside. She noticed her smeared makeup, especially on her lips, which was too obvious.

A flush of embarrassment crept up her cheeks as intimate memories from the car ride flooded her mind.

Alex entered the office to find Samuel tugging at his sleeve. "Hey Alex, I just saw Ms. Josefina stepping out of a Bentley. That's not her ride, is it?"

Alex had little fondness for Samuel. The guy had been Noel's lackey, and since Noel's fall from grace, he'd kept a low profile.

The question seemed casual, but it was loud enough for the whole office to hear. Was he trying to stir up gossip about Josefina?

Alex puffed out his chest and retorted openly, "So what if it's not Ms. Josefina's car? Can't it belong to someone else? What's it to you? Ms. Josefina's so accomplished, a Bentley's nothing to her."

Samuel chuckled. "Her boyfriend's car, maybe?"

"None of your business. Shouldn't you be working instead of spreading rumors? If Ms. Josefina catches you slacking, do you really think you'll keep your job?" Ignoring Samuel, Alex made his way to his workstation, ready to start drawing.

Samuel pursed his lips in displeasure and headed to his own desk.
