Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 937

Josefina was completely caught off guard when she saw who was chasing her.

"Oliver?"

"Oliver, what are you doing here?" she exclaimed, surprise written all over her face.

Oliver came up to her and gently took the gadget from her hands.

He couldn't tear his eyes away from it. The craftsmanship was exquisite, the device small and sharp—definitely something Josefina had made herself.

With a quick flick of a button, the weapon turned into a lighter.

"I wanted to surprise you, but you kept running," Oliver said with a chuckle.

Josefina took a deep breath, trying to steady her racing heart. "I was just minding my own business, and suddenly you're chasing me like a madman. You nearly scared me to death! What kind of surprise is that?"

"That's my bad, totally my fault," Oliver admitted, reaching out to take her hand.

Josefina pulled away, keeping a bit of distance between them.

He blinked, baffled by her reaction. Why was she pulling away?

Undeterred, Oliver reached for her hand again, only for her to pull back once more.

"I’ve got things to do," she said, a bit curtly.

"What things? Let me tag along," he suggested.

"Aren't you busy? How do you have time to hang out with me?"

"I've got all the time in the world for you, Josie. Just say the word, and I'm there."

They locked eyes, a silent challenge passing between them. Without warning, Oliver scooped her up and placed her into her car.

"Josie, why are you being so distant? Did I do something wrong?"

"I'm not being distant. You're just imagining things."

Josefina started the engine and drove off.

Oliver sat beside her, sensing that she might be upset with him.

"Josie, are you mad because I got back late?"

"No."
