Chapter 156
“Kid, what do you know? Josie’s so talented. I don’t even know who’s worthy of such a gem of a girl.”
Luke felt the sting of his mom’s words!
“Mom, Josie’s got a good head on her shoulders when it comes to guys. She’s no lovesick puppy. Any guy she doesn’t fancy won’t even get to hold her hand. Don’t you worry. Josie’s no pushover.”
Katelyn chuckled and nodded, “Luke, you better come home tonight. Help me with the grocery shopping. I’ll make a feast with all of Josie’s favorites.”
“You got it.”
...
Josefina walked into the office and received a text from Brandon. [Josie, free this weekend? How about I take you to the Baldwin family estate? We could have a roast lamb feast. Let me know what you want, and I’ll have it prepped for you.]
[Josie, are you short on cash? I’ll transfer a billion to you. Go ahead and treat yourself.]
[Josie, I’ve been having these terrible headaches lately. Come check on me when you have the time, will you?]
Brandon sent a barrage of messages. Soon there was a notification sound of receiving a billion.
The text was silent, but the notification sound made everyone’s jaws drop as they stared at Josefina.
Everybody was shocked!
That’s a billion!
They stared at each other and then back at Josefina with newfound respect. What kind of man was after Ms. Josefina, to send a billion just like that for pocket money!
Josefina ignored the curious gazes around her and said to Alex, “Alex, come to my office.”
“Yes, Ms. Josefina.” Alex immediately stood up.
The office had a large pane of clear glass. Without the curtains drawn, everyone could see Josefina’s every move.
Alex walked in, standing in front of the desk. His demeanor was one of utmost respect, almost as if his life was in Josefina’s hands.
Josefina smiled, “Alex, the issue with the design theft has been taken care of; no need to worry. I’m here to entrust you with the designs for next quarter.”
Alex was stunned. Was this his lucky break? “Ms. Josefina, are you planning to take me under your wing?”
Alex couldn’t believe it. His life was about to soar!
Josefina laughed at his reaction, “I’m giving you this task because I’m counting on your skill. If your work doesn’t meet my standards, I won’t hesitate to reject it. Understand?”
Alex nodded vigorously, “Absolutely, Ms. Josefina. I will give it my all and won’t let you down!” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
His destiny was finally turning!
...
After Alex left, Josefina replied to Brandon’s messages. [Grandpa, I have enough pocket money, more than I can spend. I’ll transfer the money back to you later. I have plans with friends this weekend and can’t make it to your place, sorry.]
Seeing Josefina’s response, Brandon immediately consulted with Oliver, only to find out that he had not made any plans with Josefina for the weekend. Brandon was beside himself with worry.
“Bennett, check this out. What does Josie’s message mean?”
“She’s busy this weekend, and it’s not with Oliver. She wouldn’t happen to have a boyfriend, would she?”
Bennett, reading the text, was hesitant. “Sir, it’s hard to say.”
The two of them exchanged glances, completely baffled.
Just then, a servant came in. “Sir, Miss Lena is at the door. She insists on seeing you about something important.”
Brandon paused, wondering why Lena was here. “Let her in,” he said, curious to see what Lena was up to.
