Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 272

Lena huffed, picking herself off the floor with a scowl. “What in the world are you doing? Didn’t you see me lying here on the couch? Where are your eyes?!”

Annika, however, didn’t take offense. Instead, she responded with a chuckle, “Whoopsie daisy, Miss Lena, I had no idea you were napping there. It’s not even the weekend, and everyone’s off to work. Don’t you have a job to get to, Miss Lena?”

Lena fell silent. She didn’t want to talk about this!

“It’s none of your business!” Lena snapped back.

“Just making conversation, Miss Lena. Mr. And Mrs. Harrison have gone to their jobs, and Ms. Josefina left early for the office. Heard she’s the big boss there, so impressive! You’re living the dream, Miss Lena, not needing to work at all.”

Lena’s jaw tightened. Did she not want to work? It was Josefina who had messed up her job situation! Now she was seen as some kind of idle good-for-nothing. Was that what she wanted?

Annoyed, Lena glared at Annika. Unfazed, Annika just kept smiling back at her.

“It’s none of your business. You’re just a servant. Why ask so many questions?”

“Oh, okay then,” Annika said, lowering her gaze to continue wiping the couch, prompting Lena to stomp off to the garden in frustration.

Regina approached, carrying a tray of fruit and thoughtfully brought Lena a glass of ice-cold soda. “Miss Lena, we really need to figure out how to get rid of Annika. Ever since she joined the Harrisons, my status has plummeted. If we let her stay, your position will be at risk too!”

Lena asked, puzzled, “How’s that any of my concern?”

“Miss Lena, aren’t you seeing the bigger picture? If my status suffers, who’s going to cook your favorite meals?”
