Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 98

Josefina wasn't born yesterday. Oliver said he'd pick her up in his car, but she knew that once he did, they'd end up driving back in hers.

However, Josefina wasn't concerned with the car situation. Oliver's potential for violence had her worried.

As Oliver approached, he caught the flicker of concern in her eyes. Taking a step closer, he peered at her and murmured with a hint of amusement, "Are you worried about me?"

Josefina lifted her gaze, meeting his smiling face, which, at that moment, seemed particularly dashing. "Oliver, some things are better left in the past. You can't let old ghosts drag you down," she advised.

Life was about moving forward and finding the silver lining. That was how Josefina lived—if she dwelled on bygones, life would just be too exhausting.

Oliver reached out and gently pulled Josefina into his arms, holding her close. "Just let me hold you for a moment." His weary voice washed over her as she stood still in his embrace.

When George finished handling his business and stepped out, he found Oliver with his arms wrapped around Josefina. George gave some quick instructions to his security detail and signaled for his driver to whisk him away.

Watching Oliver's car being driven off, Josefina gently nudged him, "Your ride's leaving!"

George's face popped out from the car window, waving at Josefina and Oliver. "Ms. Josefina, there's an urgent situation at the office I need to attend to. You two take your time. There's no need to rush to get to work," he called out with a chuckle.

Josefina's cheeks flushed a rosy red as she shot Oliver an annoyed glare. "This is all your fault."

Oliver nodded, his indulgent smile unwavering. "Yeah, blame me." Blaming him was a small price for the joy it brought him.

"Josie, my car's gone. I guess you'll have to drive me to work now."

As Josefina turned to open her car door, Oliver had already swung the passenger side open for her. "Aren't I the one driving you?" she asked, puzzled.

"Since when does a lady drive when there's a gentleman present? It's my turn to take the wheel. You just sit back and enjoy the ride."

With a hint of surprise, Josefina settled into the passenger seat. She had another reason for visiting Oliver that day—the contract.
