Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 65

The morning after, Lena was taken aback when she heard that Josefina was heading off to work at the company. "Working? Aren't you fresh out of your final exams? Aren't you supposed to be in school?"

With a chuckle, Hattie explained, "Well, Josie said she was itching to get busy and feeling antsy without earning her own keep. We figured we'd grant her some assets, so she's off to check on one of her businesses today."

Finishing her last bite of a sunny-side-up egg, Josefina's eyes twinkled playfully. "Aren't you supposed to be in school? I thought you were about my age. Even though I started a year late, you should be a freshman in college by now, right?"

Lifting her chin with pride, Lena declared, "I may have started school a year ahead of you, but I'm already a sophomore. Plus, with my knack for medicine, I'm attending med school and have already begun my hospital internship." Still, Lena would have to return to school once her internship was up.

Josefina, amused by Lena's haughty demeanor, complimented her, "Wow, you're impressive."

Garrett was ridden with guilt, and lamented, "If Josie hadn't been switched at birth, she wouldn't have had to delay her exams till this year. Sweetheart, got any colleges you're fond of? Wherever you wish to go, I'll make sure you get in."

Given the Harrisons' deep pockets, Josefina could take her pick. Her parents always planned for their beloved daughter.

Lena caught the underlying message. Josefina didn't seem to be the darling of the Antonios and likely wasn't too sharp academically, right?

Tsk, tsk, so what if she’s a billionaire’s daughter? She sucked at school!

But Lena forgot that regardless of whether Josefina was a top student or not, her birthright was something Lena herself could never achieve in a lifetime.

With a playful grin, Lena teased, "Josie, just tell Dad which school you fancy. He adores you so much. A few extra buildings in your name should do the trick."
