Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 824

These folks were just asking for it, daring to mess with his Josie!

"Let's head out, I haven't eaten yet, and I'm starving."

Josefina slipped into Oliver's car.

"Oliver, can you drop me home? I promised Calix I'd have dinner with him tonight."

Oliver chuckled, albeit a bit reluctantly, "Josie, can't you just promise to have dinner with me every day?"

"You always seem to call me out for meals. I’ve had enough dinners with you to last a lifetime," Josefina teased, her fingers dancing over her phone as she sent a text.

"If I didn't frame it as a meal invite, if I called it a date, you'd probably dodge me," Oliver replied, feeling a bit defeated.

Josie's schedule was always packed; the only time he managed to see her was over a meal, and even then, it had to be strategically timed.

Miss the meal window, and she was like a ghost.

Josefina looked up, catching Oliver’s exasperated look, and grinned, "Next time, don’t wait for meal times. But let’s be real, you’re busy too, you might not have time for dates either."

Oliver: "…"

She wasn't wrong.

"How about this, we set a date and time. I'll make sure to wrap up my work before then so I can spend quality time with you, sound good?"

Josefina shook her head, putting down her phone, "No need to stress about it. We’re both swamped, let's wait till we both catch a break."

Oliver: "…"

"Josie, if we wait for the stars to align, we might never meet."

Josefina shot him a playful smile, "You might be right about that."

"Oliver, please don’t tell your family about the stalking ordeal. I don’t want them to worry."

"Alright, I'll keep it quiet. What about tomorrow? Can you spare some time during the day for a date?"

"Tomorrow's a no-go for me, too much on my plate."

Oliver continued driving, resigned to the fact that arranging a date was turning into a Herculean task, not to mention he had to brave Josefina's three protective brothers.

The road to winning her heart felt interminably long.
