Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess
Chapter 46

George racked his brain and finally came up with a plausible explanation, "They must've been green-eyed over Miss Josefina's beauty, got into a brawl trying to show off their skills to impress her. Guess they

got a little too carried away and lost their grip on the situation."

Oliver couldn't help but give George a second look. The guy had some serious chops when it came to quick thinking. Not bad, the excuse would do.

"Your salary gets doubled this month."

George bowed excitedly, "Thank you, sir! Here's hoping you tie the knot with Ms. Josefina soon and have a couple of babies soon."

"Sir, the tech guy I contacted said he would be here by Saturday at three in the afternoon. He'd rather work alone, though he mentioned he's got a bit of social anxiety."

"Alright, take care of the arrangements."

George nodded and stepped out to handle the business at hand.

After a refreshing shower and a nap, Josefina scrolled through her phone and stumbled across some news.

Billy's company had made a miraculous comeback with their new fashion line.

Billy's family had a thriving clothing business, and with Josefina's help, it had been more successful than ever, raking in quite a profit. After Josefina left, partners started backing out, and without a top-notch designer like her, Billy was as frantic as an ant on a hot skillet.

But now, their latest designs were a hit with the consumers, sending sales through the roof. And those designs looked all too familiar to Josefina. She was the mastermind behind those designs for the Antonio family.

Meanwhile, at the Antonio residence.

Ruby sat on the couch as Billy looked at her with adoring, indulgent eyes, "My dear Ruby, you're the lucky charm of our household."

Lauren boasted confidently, "I've always said it. Ruby is our lucky star. Ever since that walking disaster Josefina left, our luck has turned. The best is yet to come."

Ruby, listening to her parents' praises, finally felt a sense of ease. "Mom, Dad, thank you for believing in me. Honestly, I just sketched out that design casually. Who knew it would get such a reaction? I'm thrilled to contribute to our family."

"Ruby, keep it up. Keep the hits coming, and I'll shower you with all the gifts you've been dreaming of."

Lauren grasped Ruby's hand with joy, "Let's get you dolled up at the beauty salon, and tonight, I'll take you to a gala."

Ruby was surprised, "A gala, Mom?"

"It's the Rowland family's younger son's birthday bash. We'll introduce you properly to everyone there."

Lauren's explanation filled Ruby with even more excitement. "Thank you!" She clung to Lauren's arm, beaming with happiness.

They chatted away, the picture of a blissful family.

Ruby secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The design had worked out better than she'd hoped. Although she had pilfered Josefina's work, she believed that Josefina could never have created something so remarkable on her own.

After all, Josefina had taken her place in the Antonio family for eighteen years. Taking one design was merely reclaiming some of her due benefits.

Little did Ruby know, this design was the first step toward her downfall.

...

As Josefina descended the stairs, she saw Hattie and Garrett deep in conversation. She was about to approach when she noticed Lena crying. What on earth had happened?
