Josefina was the backbone of the University of Melbourne—everyone knew it.
She flashed a warm smile. “President, there are so many brilliant people at Melbourne. Even if I’m not around, the students will keep the place shining.”
“That’s not the same, not even close,” he insisted. “Your lab is finished, by the way. Mr. Oliver donated all the equipment you needed—it’ll be delivered tomorrow. And if you need anything else, just tell me, I’ll make it happen.”
“Thank you.” Josefina paused, a thought crossing her mind. “Are there security cameras near the little marketplace?”
Mr. Marquez looked surprised. “I think so. I can check—”
“No need. As long as they’re there, that’s enough. I’ve got something else to do, so I’ll get going.”
With that, Josefina stood up and walked out.
Mr. Marquez was left scratching his head, completely lost as to why she’d asked about the cameras. He watched her hurry away, then suddenly smacked his thigh in realization.
“Shoot!”
…
Josefina was barely off campus when her phone rang.
“Josie, my superstar wife. You’re so amazing, I can’t even find the words,” Oliver teased.
Josefina rolled her eyes, not bothering to answer.
She knew what was coming: a lecture about safety. Honestly, she wasn’t as fragile as he thought—the baby was fine, and she always knew her own limits.
“Oliver, stop teasing me.”
“I’m waiting for you at the main gate.”
“I’ll be there in a minute.”
She hung up and headed over. Meanwhile, in the car, Oliver was making another call.
“Tell Wilson to stay away from the University of Melbourne,” he said, voice cold. He wasn’t about to let that man show up again.
A few minutes later, Josefina climbed into the car.
