Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 268

Oliver got a piece of a roast duck, bringing it to Josefina’s mouth with a playful grin. “Open up, here comes the duck!”

Josefina mimicked him. Her mouth was slightly agape, her nose took in the savory scent of the roastm, and her eyes were admiring his stunning handsomeness that was a feast for the eyes in its own right.

Josefina bit into the duck Oliver had prepared for her. The roast duck was delicious, truly a treat.

Oliver got more for Josefina, and after she finished the last one, she said, “Stop. That’s enough for me. Have some yourself.”

Oliver picked up a fork, starting to serve Josefina some vegetables. Just as Josefina was about to speak, a familiar voice echoed from nearby. At the sound, Josefina gestured to Oliver to be quiet.

With an indulgent smile, Oliver nodded and quietly continued to serve her, enjoying their meal together.

Meanwhile, in the next room over...

Sammuel was pouring water for Holly, murmuring, “So, did you pledge allegiance to Josefina? Your actions in the conference room today sure stirred up some gossip.”

“I just wanted everyone to see how I perform in front of Josefina. That workaholic Alex is actually taking time off, and he won’t be back any time soon. I’m going to seize this opportunity to claim the right to design clothes and get that promotion and raise.”

Sammuel gave her a thumbs up. “Holly, that’s brilliant. You’ve analyzed it perfectly. With Alex out, you’ve got a clear shot.”

Holly lifted her chin with pride and confidence. “I’ll have to be even more diligent, show Josefina what I’m capable of. Whatever Alex can do, I can do too! And the things he can’t do, I can do even better! Josefina, that woman... she’s just too good to Alex. I suspect she’s got a crush on him.”
