Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 72

Josie took a sip of her milkshake, then chomped down on her cheeseburger. There was something about the care package from her folks that made everything taste like home.

"I'm settling in fine at the firm, but there's a bit of a backlog I need to get through, so I might be working late. Mom, Dad, haven't you had someone to oversee the place before?"

Garrett replied, "We had Mike on it for a while, but once you stepped in, we handed the reins to Sue."

Josie understood. With an empire so vast, some nooks were bound to gather dust. Well, if there was chaos in the ranks, she was just the one to sort it out.

Hattie, ever so sharp, sensed something amiss and chimed in, "Sweetheart, are there troubles at the office? Let us know what's up, and we can send over some top manager to lend a hand."

Josie chuckled and shook her head. "No need, I can handle it. If it's too hot to touch, I'll holler for help."

So, Hattie and Garrett were content to let her be. Josie would need to learn the ropes solo if she was to helm other ventures in the future.

They pulled up to Gourmet Galaxy, and Josie followed her parents in for dinner. They'd just settled into their private dining room when Oliver and Brandon knocked and entered.

Brandon grinned wide. "Josie, you and Oliver are like two peas in a pod. What are the odds, right? Spooky coincidence!"

Oliver nodded politely. "Mr. Garrett, Ms. Hattie, Josie, good evening."

Josie was just as taken aback. "Good evening." What were the chances?

Garrett and Hattie were equally intrigued. What brought Brandon and Oliver here? It was just too serendipitous.
