Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess
Chapter 55

At that moment, the old man, ah, Oliver, was sitting across from Josefina, enjoying a dinner together.

The ostensible owner of Gourmet Galaxy stood at their side with utmost respect, attentively saying, "Ms. Oliver, Ms. Josefina, everything has been taken care of. All of Xavier's crew has been kicked out, and we won't let them come to Riviera again in the future."

Josefina was stunned. What was going on? Why was she out of the loop?

Startled, she inquired, "What did you do?"

With his gaze fixed on Josefina, Oliver simply directed the other man, "You can leave now."

"Yes, sir," the man said, trembling as he made his exit.

They weren't seated at a long dining table but rather at a cozy round one. Oliver pulled up a chair beside Josefina and thoughtfully placed a freshly cut steak in front of her.

"Xavier, Lauren, and Ruby were disrespectful towards you. I had them thrown out so they wouldn't spoil your mood."

Josefina, taken aback, looked at him, "How did you know?"

Pouring her a glass of orange juice, Oliver gazed at her with an indulgent look, "I know all about what concerns you."

Phew. For a moment, she thought Oliver had uncovered all her secret identities.

Josefina savored a bite of the steak, the flavors bursting in her mouth. She followed it with a sip of juice, and said lightly, "Oliver, knowing too much isn't always a good thing."

Oliver laughed, swirling his wine glass with a light touch, a smile playing in his eyes. "What's so bad about knowing too much?"

Josefina really wanted to say, knowing too many of her secrets could be a deadly affair. In the end, she simply smiled without a word.

After dinner, Josefina suggested it was time to go home. Oliver joined her in the car, but as the driver pulled away, Josefina noticed they weren't heading towards her house. The car meandered down a desolate road, taking turns that were increasingly remote. Clutching her bracelet, Josefina was on high alert. "Oliver, where are you taking me?" "Scared I might sell you off?" Oliver teased.

Josefina thought, "He might be overestimating himself.".

"Don't worry, I just want to give you a gift," he said, his voice seductive, making Josefina subconsciously believe he genuinely wanted to present her with something.

As the car stopped and the driver opened the door for them, Oliver stepped out. Josefina quickly opened her own door and followed suit, ready to defend herself if necessary. However, she found Oliver reaching out his hand.

"Look over there." In the quiet night, his persuasive voice rose again.

Boom!

Boom, boom!

Magnificent fireworks suddenly erupted, blooming one after another in the sky, a stunning spectacle.

Josefina's clear eyes reflected the brilliance of the fireworks, which enhanced her beauty. Oliver's gaze fell upon her face, unable to look away.

Josefina's eyes were filled with the fireworks, and Oliver's eyes were filled with Josefina.

When the fireworks formed the name 'Josie' against the night sky, Josefina was utterly stunned. Turning to Oliver, surprised and delighted, she found him already watching her. "Oliver, this gift is way too much." she exclaimed.

Oliver replied with an affectionate smile, "I hope you like it."

Like it? Josefina was beyond liking it—she loved it.

The dreamlike fireworks continued to explode above them, their glow reflecting on their faces, highlighting the perfect pair they made.

When Josefina was brought back home, her heart still hadn't settled. The fireworks display was just too stunning.

Why did Oliver give her such a magical gift? Z

As she stepped out of the car, she caught Oliver's fervent gaze and felt a touch of shyness.
