Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 26

Lena gritted her teeth and sent Josefina a whopping 500k in a digital transfer. Not too much to make the elders frown, but not stingy either.

Hattie sat right there. That half a million was a real punch to Lena’s gut.

When Josefina got the money, she raised an eyebrow, all smug and vibrant, making Lena bristling with irritation.

Just then, the butler came in, all respectful, and said, “Ma’am, Mr. Brandon has arrived with Mr. Baldwin.”

After Oliver’s parents handed over the company reins, the couple took off to gallivant around the globe. Everyone in high society knew that. So the Mr. Baldwin the butler was referring to had to be the one and only.

Hearing about Oliver’s visit, Lena jumped up, all excited. “Did Oliver know I’m back and came to see me especially?” Lena’s face bloomed like a flower, shy and hopeful.

Hattie told the butler, “Let them in.”

The butler nodded, and soon Brandon and Oliver walked in. Their bodyguards lugged bags from high-end brands, one even shouldering a burlap sack. Joining them was Garrett, just back from work.

Hattie stood up to greet them, and they all exchanged pleasantries, settling on the couch.

Lena’s eyes twinkled, glued to Oliver. “Oliver, long time no see.”

Oliver glanced at Lena but didn’t engage.

Lena was furious. True to form, Oliver still wasn’t giving her the time of day.

Brandon chuckled looking at Josefina. “Josie, the main reason Oliver and I dropped by was to thank you for saving my life. If it hadn’t been for you, I would’ve probably bitten the dust.”
