Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 52

At that moment, Xavier, who had invited Ruby, made his entrance. Dressed to the nines in an expensive suit, he emerged with an easy grin on his face. "Mrs. Antonio, Ms. Ruby, glad you could make it."

Ruby's face lit up with a smile at the sight of Xavier, "Xavier, what are you doing down here?"

Ever since Ruby became the Antonio family's designer, she had crossed paths with Xavier a few times. The spark between them was undeniable, and they were currently in the flirtatious early stages of a potential romance.

Xavier's gaze, almost involuntarily, drifted to Josefina standing off to the side, captivated by her striking features. Her figure was impeccable, and she carried an air of refined grace. She was dressed in a knit sweater and form-fitting jeans that accentuated her long legs.

"And who might this be?" Xavier asked, his eyes practically glued to Josefina.

Lauren and Ruby hadn't anticipated that Xavier would be so taken with Josefina. What was so attractive about her? Just because she was a bit prettier? Wasn't she just a pretty face without substance?

Ruby sidled up to Xavier, looking particularly radiant today, and called out to him with a sweet voice, "Xavier, did you come out here just for us?"

That snapped Xavier back to the present, reminding him of his purpose for being there.

Wasn't it to meet Ruby, to win her over?

Xavier, the neglected second son of the Rowland family, was determined to prove his worth to his family, to show that he was just as capable as his elder brother.

Having seen Ruby's exceptional design talent, he had been eager to collaborate with her. Thus, he took advantage of his birthday celebration to invite Ruby and foster a connection.

Xavier's eyes, once again drawn to Josefina. And he inquired, "Ms. Ruby, who is this?"

Lauren jumped in to answer before Ruby could, "Oh, she's just the foster daughter our family took in by mistake. She's probably here trying to piggyback on our status to get into Gourmet Galaxy."
