Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 1067

"Boss, I'm so thrilled you're actually listening to my opinion!" He could almost taste the bragging rights he'd earn if he could spill the beans. But the identity of the "Boss" had to stay under wraps. No broadcasting it, no matter how much he wanted to shout it from the rooftops.

"Here's our proposal, take a look," he said, handing it to Josefina. She started skimming through it while Mr. Marquez sat silently beside her, waiting on pins and needles for her verdict. It was all in her hands now.

As she reached the end, Josefina couldn't help but think, "Clever old fox." Mr. Marquez had probably been planning this for ages, just waiting for the right moment to pounce. Smart move.

She wasn't about to turn it down. Healing people was a doctor's duty, and she was eager to help as many as possible avoid unnecessary suffering. "I'll start recruiting immediately," she said. "Let's get this sorted before the semester wraps up."

"Boss, I'm all in. Whatever you say goes," Mr. Marquez replied, eager to follow her lead.

"Mr. Marquez, I'm off now. Once I've finalized the candidate list, I’ll send it over for your review." Josefina stood up. "And just call me Josefina from here on out."

The title "Boss" felt a bit too formal for her taste. "Boss—Josefina, got it. Whatever makes you happy," Mr. Marquez said, grinning ear to ear. He was over the moon. This success was his, thanks to Josefina. He vowed to support her no matter what in the future.

"I'll be going now," Josefina said, making her exit. Mr. Marquez waved her off with a smile.

Nearby, someone discreetly snapped a photo of Mr. Marquez waving goodbye. The photographer quickly slipped away, hoping Josefina wouldn’t notice.

...

At the school gate, Josefina was met with a crowd so thick it was hard to see past them. What was going on? She stood on her toes, trying to catch a glimpse, but there were just too many people.

As she considered leaving, snippets of conversation caught her ear.

"He's so handsome, just stunning. The car's a knockout, but he's even better!"
