Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 67

Their computers were hijacked, and a menacing red line of text flashed on the screen: "Two minutes. Boardroom. Be there or consider yourself resigned!"

Everyone was baffled.

"Jaxon, our computers are toast! The mouse won't even twitch."

"Same here."

"That girl looked green as grass. How's she pulling this off?"

Jaxon scoffed, "You really think she's behind this? With her kiddie face? She probably hasn't even finished high school. No way she's got mad computer skills like that."

"Jaxon, what do we do? Are we going or what?"

Jaxon snorted with a smirk, "We're going!" He was curious to see just who was stirring the pot.

When the disgruntled group arrived at the boardroom, Josefina was already there, arms folded, scrutinizing them as they entered. Her presence was overwhelming, her piercing gaze sending shivers down their spines – it was rare to see such a formidable aura in someone so young.

She fiddled with her computer and glanced at her list, "Looks like we're one short. Did someone quit?"

Jaxon replied with irritation, "Tim's got the day off. I approved it."

Josefina smirked, "He took a leave after a two-day notice? He shouldn't bother coming back. He's fired!"

Jaxon huffed, "Making an example of him, huh? I wonder who you're really trying to scare."

"It's you lot, of course!"

The room fell silent. They had encountered such blunt honesty before.

Josefina continued, "Let me be crystal clear. If you don’t want to work here, resign now. You'll get your severance. If you're staying, get to work and cut the slacking."

Jaxon frowned, feeling the sting of being outplayed for the first time.
