Josefina watched Dr. Kyler with utter disbelief. This woman was seriously twisting the truth.
Dr. Kyler piped up again, "Oliver, you gotta deal with her, pronto! She's posing as a doctor with some fishy agenda!"
Oliver gave Dr. Kyler a sharp look. "You telling me how to handle my business?"
His voice was low and frosty, piercing right through, sending a shiver down Dr. Kyler's spine.
Oliver stepped forward, standing in front of Josefina, his masculine scent hitting her full force. His lips parted slightly, each word dropping with weight, "Let's hear it."
Josefina spilled the beans, "I saved your grandpa. If we'd gone her way, he'd be a goner for sure."
Dr. Kyler snapped, "Oliver, she's lying through her teeth. She just wants to get close to you by buttering up your grandpa!"
Josefina shot back, "Are you nuts? I don't even know who he is. Why on earth would I wanna get close to him?" So what if this guy was a looker? Did that mean Josefina should make a beeline for him?
Josefina's expression was as cool and aloof as a snow rose on the mountain peak, mysterious and proud.
She looked both stunning and fierce as if she was saying, "Back off, buddy!"
Under Oliver's furrowed brows, his eyes twinkled with a faint smile. As he turned back to Dr. Kyler, his gaze remained icy and menacing. "Did I ask you to speak?"
The pressure from all around zeroed in on Dr. Kyler, making her tremble, unable to speak.
This...
"Mr. Oliver, I..." Dr. Kyler was at a loss for words, not expecting Oliver to take Josefina's side!
'So what if she's pretty? Does that make her special or something?' Dr. Kyler thought.
