Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 1281

The mood at the table was getting heavier by the minute. Josefina caught the worried looks on everyone’s faces and decided to break the tension.

“Seriously, you all don’t have to stress about me. It’s just some company drama. Worst case, we close up shop—it’s not the end of the world. I’ll be fine, I promise,” she said, trying to sound as casual as possible.

Garrett backed her up. “Josie’s right. We’re the Harrisons, remember? So what if one company goes under? We’ve got plenty more to look after.”

Seeing Josefina stay so upbeat, Garrett knew he had to match her energy. As her dad, he wasn’t about to bring her down.

Hattie jumped in, “Honey, eat something first, okay? Let’s save the heavy talk for after dinner. You’ll feel better with some food in you.”

Dorian spoke up, “Legal’s on it already. And all that media gossip? Don’t waste a second worrying about it, Josie. We’ve got people handling everything.”

Reid added, “Sis, our team’s pushing all those fake stories down the search rankings. They’ll disappear soon enough.”

Calix grinned at her. “Josie, you’ve gotta make me a few more outfits. I’m only wearing stuff from your line from now on!”

He meant it—he’d support his sister, no matter what.

With everyone rallying behind her, Josefina couldn’t help but beam. Their support made her heart swell. She was touched, excited, and more confident than ever that she could handle whatever came next.

…

When Brandon caught wind of what happened, he didn’t bother calling ahead—he just showed up at Cole’s place.

The Cole family had been about to dig into a feast: perfectly cooked steaks flown in from overseas, paired with a bottle of red wine. The food looked and smelled amazing.

Brandon’s unexpected arrival threw Cole and Makiko off. They exchanged nervous glances, caught off guard.
