Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 59

Ruby watched the overly confident Josefina and raised her voice slightly, saying, "Josefina, stop messing around. It'll be embarrassing when the manager comes later."

Xavier chimed in with a smirk, "Ruby, don't waste your breath on her. What can a fake heiress do, anyway? It's not like she's the one signing the checks here."

Josefina's lips curled into a smug smile as she gave Xavier a top-to-bottom once-over. He stepped back and said, "What are you looking at? Keep dreaming, sweetheart, you can't have this."

Just then, the manager approached. As everyone braced for Josefina's humiliation, the manager bowed deeply and said, "Miss, why didn't you let me know you were coming? I would have rolled out the red carpet for you at the entrance."

What! Rolling out the red carpet for her? Who was the manager talking to?

Xavier and Ruby glanced around, searching for some elusive VIP, pointedly ignoring the obvious - Josefina.

Sensing their confusion, the manager walked straight up to Josefina and bowed once more, "Miss, how may I assist you today?"

Nonchalantly, Josefina eyed the jewelry on display, "Just browsing, nothing special."

Stunned silence enveloped Xavier and Ruby. Could Josefina actually be the owner of the shop?

Xavier, feeling his pride slip, quickly tried to regain his composure. He grabbed Ruby's hand, "Ruby, let's check out the goldsmith next door. Gold always looks good on a beauty like you." Ruby nodded, relieved to have an escape.

But as they turned to leave, Josefina's voice casually floated over, "The shop next door is mine as well."

Xavier and Ruby were speechless. They then considered visiting the luxury watch store further down, but before they could make a move, Josefina preempted their thoughts, "That one's mine too."
