Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

"That's exactly why it's necessary. What if I misunderstood you? What if you're feeling upset about it? It's better to talk about it." Josie's bright eyes sparkled with mischief, making it hard for anyone to deny her requests.

Dorian finally spoke with an authoritative tone, "Lena, just have a taste. Isn't this the soup you made?" He couldn't fathom why Lena was making such a fuss. It was just soup; it was not like it was poison. Hattie also thought Lena was making a mountain out of a molehill. "Lena, having a sip won't kill you. Just try it," she urged.

With three pairs of eyes on her, Lena reluctantly looked down at the bowl of soup she had no desire to drink. She knew Dorian and Hattie wouldn't take 'no' for an answer. Gritting her teeth, Lena picked up the spoon and took a sip.

After swallowing, she grimaced, "It's too salty and sweet, just awful. I'm sorry, Dorian. I need to up my cooking game. I'm going to dump this soup."From NôvelDrama.Org.

Carrying the bowl, Lena practically ran out of the living room.

Dorian sighed wearily and turned to Josefina with a tender smile, "Josie, I'm sorry for the rush. I wanted to give you a present and didn't realize the designer Anya was you. Don't worry about the clothes. I'll just give you the cash value."

"No need for that, you've already given me plenty of gifts. I have more clothes than I can wear. There's no need to buy more," Josefina replied.

Hattie chuckled, "Cash is good. It's one thing for your sister to make her own money, but your gesture is something else. Dorian, you should transfer some extra cash to Josie. Let her buy whatever she wants." Dorian nodded and quickly transferred money to Josefina's account. "Josie, I'm sending you five million for now. I've hit today's limit, but I'll send another five million tomorrow."

When the five million hit her account, Josefina's mind went blank. Just like that, she got five million?

Josefina stared at Dorian, stunned and amazed, "Isn't that too much? Five million is already a lot."

Dorian just ruffled her hair affectionately, "Silly girl, five million isn't much for the Harrison family. And it's not too much for you either."

Warmth spread through Josefina from the top of her head down as she looked incredulously at Dorian, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart. "Thank you, Dorian." "No problem."

Hattie hurried them along, "Dorian,

you just got back so go rest and get over your jet lag. I'm taking Josie out for a spa day, some shopping, and dinner. We won't be eating a home tonight."

Linking arms with Josefina, Hattie happily led her out the door.

Dorian shook his head with a smile. Hattie wasn't really concerned about Dorian resting. She just didn't want him to keep Josefina from enjoying a day out with her.

He stepped into the elevator, heading back to catch up on sleep.

Hidden in her room's bathroom, Lena was gagging violently. After a bout of vomiting, tears filled her eyes and her face turned bright red.

Slumped on the floor post-vomit, Lena was devastated. "Why! Why did it fail again!" she rasped, her voice hoarse. She couldn't believe her plan had been foiled once more. was all Josefina's fault.

Luckily, Lena had already dumped the soup. Without any evidence, no one could accuse her of anything. Lena tried to stand up, but a sharp pain in her stomach forced her to squat, clutching her abdomen.
