Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Chapter 115

Inside the inconspicuous cardboard box lay several sets of jewelry that would put Tiffany’s window displays to shame. Even if the pieces were costume jewelry, the gems were ostentatiously large. The diamonds, in particular, twinkled with an extra brilliance in the moonlight.

Lena was skeptical, so she opened another box nearby, which revealed an assortment of esteemed herbal remedies. She took a deep breath, and her disbelief persisted as she went to open yet another box.

“What are you doing?”

Josefina’s voice rang out from behind, causing Lena to jump. Turning around, Lena forced a grin. “I was just checking to ensure nothing was damaged during transport.”

Regina stood on the sidelines, dumbstruck by the contents of the boxes, at a loss for words about how to broach the subject.

Josefina sauntered over, now dressed casually in a tee and capris. Her legs were so long, so smooth, so slender that one couldn’t help but be captivated.

Lena cursed inwardly, “Slut!”

With a calm demeanor and an unflappable presence, Josefina stated, “I appreciate the concern, but I can manage my own belongings.”

Lena’s expression faltered, failing to mask her surprise. “Josie, what do you mean by that?” Lena asked, genuinely puzzled.

Was she implying Lena shouldn’t meddle with the boxes, or was it about not getting involved with Oliver?

“The literal meaning.”

Josefina’s commanding aura sent a shiver down Lena’s spine. She approached the bodyguard and instructed, “Handle with care. Don’t damage the contents.”

“Yes, Ms. Josefina.”

Turning to Ryan, who had accompanied her, Josefina said, “Ryan, could you prepare the inventory for me?”

“Rest assured, Ms. Josefina. I’ll compile a list of these gifts and send it to your phone in a document as soon as I get back.”

Josefina raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. “Ryan, you’re adept with digital documents as well?”

“Ms. Josefina, even us in service must keep up with the times to avoid being replaced.”

Nodding in understanding, Josefina encouraged him, “Keep it up, Ryan.”

“Thank you, Ms. Josefina. I will do my best.”

With a smile, Josefina left things in Ryan’s capable hands.

Ryan took charge at the scene, managing everything with precision and order. Passing by Regina, Ryan remarked, “Regina, with the kitchen in full swing, what are you doing wandering around here? Believe me, I’ll have the boss fire you if you don’t get back.”

Regina’s face flushed with embarrassment as he scurried away.

Noticing Lena’s displeasure, Ryan inquired with curiosity, “Ms. Lena, do you have gifts that need moving too?”

Lena remained silent, prompting a surprised reaction from Ryan. “What’s the matter, too much to handle? Need more hands?”

Again, he offered, “Tell me, how many gifts are we talking about? I’ll get a team right now and make sure all your gifts are moved into your room!”

Gritting her teeth, Lena managed a strained smile. “Ryan, you seem to have a lot of time. Why don’t you find somewhere cooler to hang out?”

After saying that, Lena stormed off. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Ryan, scratching his head in puzzlement, couldn’t fathom her reaction. “What did she mean? Is she concerned about me or mocking me? Did I say something wrong?”

...

Entering the house, Lena found Oliver mingling effortlessly with her family, especially Grandpa Robert, who looked at Oliver with evident admiration.

Lena took a seat, eager to catch up on the conversation.

She overheard Brandon saying, “Josie, for tomorrow’s family gathering, I’ll have our personal shopper pick out some clothes and bags tailored to your size.”
