Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 50

At Brandon's age, he naturally cherished life more. He had plenty of money to spend, and now, the only gift he could give was money.

Josefina sheepishly pulled out two sleek black credit cards from her purse and said, "My family has already given me a couple of these, Brandon. Oliver has covered my medical expenses. I can't accept your money."

Just as Josefina was declining the offer, Oliver returned. "Grandpa, you should take your card back. Josie is the one I brought back, so if anyone should be giving her a black card, it's me."

Oliver, dressed in a bespoke morning suit, had a mischievous twinkle in his eye that was framed by his unruly locks. His features, as if carved by a master sculptor, were softened by a gentle smile, a departure from his usual stoic demeanor.

Brandon, seeing Oliver so at ease, couldn't help but take a second look. "Josie," hr said with a chuckle, "if you won't take my card, at least accept Oliver's, won't you?"

Josefina sighed. She wouldn't take anyone's card.

"Oliver, you're being too kind. The money I've received is enough to cover the medication, no need for anything extra."

Josefina stood her ground, and neither Brandon nor Oliver would force her to do something she didn't want.

She nodded, sitting on the couch looking both obedient and adorable.

"Brandon, I've delivered the medicine, and it's getting late, I should be heading home," Josefina said as she stood to leave.

Oliver rose as well, "You came all this way to deliver Grandpa's medication. Let me treat you to dinner."

Brandon nodded in agreement, "Yes, let Oliver take you out for a meal on my behalf. I've heard your grandfather is returning tomorrow, and he'd be none too pleased if he found out I didn't treat his granddaughter right."

Josefina flinched. Was she about to be exposed again?

Sitting upright and turning to face him, her large, doe-like eyes looked at him inquisitively, "Bodyguards? They were hired by my parents to ensure my safety."

Oliver feigned a revelation, and just as Josefina breathed a sigh of relief, he continued, "My assistant tried to hire them as well, but they declined. How did your parents manage to convince them to serve as your bodyguards?" Oliver's offered rates were unbeatable.

His intense gaze fell on Josefina, his eyes lifting at the corners in a way that seemed to conquer the world, leaving Josefina's heart racing.

Was she about to be exposed once more?
