Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 74

Oliver whipped out his phone and shot off a quick text message, then poured a glass of juice for Josefina. "Here, have some juice to soothe your throat," he said with a casual grin.

Josefina nodded and took a couple of sips.

Brandon chimed in, "Josie, I heard you started working. Why not make the most of summer break and have some fun? Don't wear yourself out, young lady."

With a smile, Josefina replied, "I'm not tired."

Brandon appreciated her more when he heard Josefina wasn't tired. "Well, if that's the case, I've got a few businesses up my sleeve. I might as well hand them over to you for kicks."

Garrett and Hattie exchanged glances. This was hardly a playful gesture. Brandon was clearly looking to pass on some assets to Josefina.

However, accepting such a gift was out of the question. Josefina declined outright, "Brandon, with Oliver's capabilities, I'm sure a few companies would mean nothing to him. He could manage hundreds without breaking a sweat."

Brandon cast a glance at Oliver and sighed, "Ah, Josie, you don't understand. Oliver can't keep running businesses forever. He's not getting any younger. Settling down and finding a wife is what's really important."

Oliver kept his composure and nodded. "Grandpa's absolutely right."

Garrett and Hattie weren't keen to engage in this conversation. Their precious daughter had only just been found. They were not ready to entertain the idea of suitors.

Caught in the middle, Josefina felt the awkwardness keenly. If he could, Brandon would probably move a bed in for her and Oliver himself.
