Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 237

Lena thought for sure that Josefina would be green with envy and that Oliver would throw her a glance, but her calculations were way off. Josefina's gaze was as tranquil as a still pond, betraying not a ripple of emotion. As for Oliver, well, there was hardly anything to say. His eyes never once settled on Lena, as if she was nothing more than air.

Lena was miffed by the lack of praise and envy she received. It just didn't sit right with her.

Josefina seemed oblivious to Lena's mood and turned to Oliver, who was standing at her side. "It's getting late, you've got things to do, right? Maybe you should head out."

Lena was taken aback. Josefina was actually shooing Oliver away? Wasn't she afraid of ticking him off?

Even Hattie and Garrett, who knew Oliver's temperament well, were surprised to see him not getting angry. Instead, he looked at Josefina with a face full of adoration. "Alright, you should get some rest too."

The room fell silent. That was it? In front of Josefina, Oliver seemed to have no temper at all.

Oliver said his goodbyes to Garrett and Hattie and left the Harrison estate.

Lena found Josefina's approach rather rude. "Josie, isn't it a bit harsh to send someone packing like that?"

Josefina shrugged it off. "What's the big deal? I'm tired from the trip, and mom and dad are beat too. We're all exhausted, why should we sit around making small talk? It's late, and sleep's important."

Garrett and Hattie exchanged a knowing look, their eyes filled with affection for their precious daughter.

Josie was quite the sharp one. It was already half-past ten, and they had a busy day ahead. Normally, they would have already freshened up by now. They had only been waiting around because they wanted to see Josefina when she got back.

Garrett chuckled warmly. "Josie, go get some rest."

Hattie chimed in, "Josie, take a nice hot bath, and get your beauty sleep. Tomorrow, come to my shop, and I'll have someone do some skincare for you."

"He got the boot from my sister."

Regina's eyes bulged, unable to believe that the country bumpkin Josefina had the guts to do such a thing. Taking a seat, she asked in disbelief, "Miss Lena, what did you say? The bumpkin kicked out Mr. Oliver? Does she have any idea who he is? Mr. Oliver was so gracious, and she doesn't even know her place."

Regina handed Lena a glass of orange juice. "Miss Lena, have some juice to replenish your vitamins. That bumpkin wanted pomegranate juice, as if she deserved it. All these juices are for you."

Lena couldn't stomach it and shot Regina an annoyed look. "Regina, what are you implying? You're giving me the stuff she didn't want. You look down on me too?"

Regina was flabbergasted. She hadn't said anything offensive. Feeling wronged and speechless, she tried to clarify, "Miss Lena, I just thought you could use more juice. I didn't mean anything else."

Lena sprang to her feet, glaring at Regina with displeasure. "If it's so good, then you drink all this juice."
