Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 54

Was the manager being serious?

Xavier's simmering rage erupted anew. "Get your boss out here now! I'm going to make him regret it." He bellowed.

The manager gave a sly grin. "You want to meet our boss? You're not worthy of his presence."

Xavier couldn't hold back his fury any longer. In a fit of anger, he hurled a nearby wine bottle against the floor, his face turning a shade of steel blue as he glared at the manager with venomous eyes. "I want to see if it's your boss who's tough or me. If we really butt heads, your boss will not be let off the hook so easily."

The manager couldn't help but laugh at such arrogance.

Xavier was just a second son out of favor, and he wanted to compare himself to the boss? How could he be so audacious?

In the midst of Xavier's posturing, his phone rang—it was his father.

Xavier could no longer play the tough guy. He answered immediately, his voice dripping with respect, "Dad."

The surrounding silence was so profound that everyone could hear the furious scolding coming from Xavier's father. "Xavier, you good-for-nothing bastard, what the hell are you up to? Do you have any idea who's behind Gourmet Galaxy? Get the hell out of there now!"

Xavier was taken aback. "Dad, are you aware of the situation here?"

"Do you think I'd be calling if I didn't? Who gave you permission to wave the Rowland family banner around? Get the hell out of there, now!"

Xavier's father hung up the phone in a fit of rage, leaving Xavier standing there, as if turned to stone.

Ruby watched Xavier in disbelief. Was he really not favored at home? He seemed to have it worse than her.

Lauren's eyes flickered with doubt. She had always felt that Xavier wasn't reliable and certainly not a match for her precious daughter.
