Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 1025

1025 /1026

Oliver was cruising down the road towards the restaurant when Josefina's phone buzzed. It was Dr. Hansen on the line, with Darren from the National Security Agency right next to him.

Dr. Hansen's voice was a mix of excitement and a hint of annoyance, “Hey, we followed your lead and tracked down the person linked to Shay. Turns out, it’s Willow.”

Darren, from the NSA, jumped in, “Ms. Josefina, this is Darren from the NSA. Could you swing by the agency? We could really use your expertise on a few things.”

“I’ll head over right away.”

Josefina hung up, and Oliver had already adjusted their course towards the NSA headquarters. She was buzzing with excitement, “This reagent is a game-changer. We need to step up production and get everyone tested.”

Catching Sydney's handler would be a huge win.

Oliver threw her a proud smile, unable to hold back the compliment, “That’s my Josie, always on top of things.”

Josefina grinned slightly, her fingers dancing over her phone screen as she juggled messages, fully engrossed in her work.

While steering the car, Oliver teased, “Josie, you’re busier than I am.”

Josefina shot back a smile, “Staying busy is how you earn the bucks.”

“I’ll take care of you,” Oliver offered playfully.

“I don’t need you to. I’m capable of making my own money. Plus, I’m so used to being busy that I’d be lost without it.”

She set her phone down, leaned back in her seat, and gazed out the window at the passing sky.

...

When Josefina and Oliver reached the NSA office, they were greeted by Darren. The three of them settled into their seats.

Darren started, “I’m Darren, the director here at the NSA. Dr. Hansen filled me in on the reagent and Willow being a spy. Josefina, did you develop this reagent?”
