Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 1274

When Josefina knocked on Alex’s office door and walked in, she immediately noticed something strange—Alex’s right cheek was bright red, like she’d just been slapped.

Josefina paused, eyebrows raised. “Alex, did you… force yourself on Deanna?”

The question hung in the air, heavy and awkward. Josefina’s mind spun. Was she hearing this right? This was way too wild.

Alex’s face turned even redder. She stammered, “Ms. Josefina, you’ve got it all wrong! Nothing happened, I swear.”

“Nothing happened? Then what’s up with your face? Didn’t Deanna hit you?”

“No, she didn’t. I… I hit myself…”

“What?” Josefina just stared at her.

Was Alex under that much stress? Was she… hurting herself? Suddenly, Josefina wondered if Alex needed to see a therapist.

“Why would you slap yourself?”

Alex looked miserable, struggling to find the words. She stood up, poured Josefina a glass of water, just to have something to do.

“Ms. Josefina, have some water.”

“I’m not thirsty. I want to know what really happened between you and Deanna.”

Alex looked like she wished she could disappear, but under Josefina’s relentless questioning, she finally gave a vague version of the story, skipping the details.

She looked so guilty, like a kid who knew she’d messed up.

“Ms. Josefina, I know I shouldn’t have started something in the office. It was a mistake. I promise, it won’t happen again.”

Josefina was quiet for a moment. They were both so young, full of energy and passion—she could understand how these things happened, even if it was a little much.

Still, this was the office. There were lines that shouldn’t be crossed.

“You two need to be careful. If people see, they’ll think I’m playing favorites, and that’s not good for the company.”

“Yes, Ms. Josefina. I understand.”
