Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

After the CEO left, Josefina picked up her phone and called Luke, instructing him to dig up some dirt on these two characters.

"Boss, you think someone's out to get you?" Luke asked, a note of concern in his voice.

"If they were after me, they wouldn't be letting me keep all the profits. They even said we should do a quality check of the clothes ourselves."

Luke fell silent. "Oh, I got it. These folks just wanna line your pockets."

Josefina let out a sigh. "Just get on it, Luke. Let me know as soon as you find something."

After hanging up, Josefina sketched a new design before Walter's call came through. With a chuckle, Walter asked, "Josie, my dear, remember you're joining me at my art show today, right?" "Of course I do. I've sent over the suit I designed to your hotel. Make sure to check it out."Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Walter beamed with delight. "Josie, you know me so well. Your designs are always a perfect fit." He couldn't wait to show off to Alfie later on and boast about the suit Josie had crafted just for him. "Please don't reveal my identity at the show today, okay?"

Walter was slightly displeased but agreed nonetheless. "Josie, you're too modest. You're so talented. I wish the whole world knew you're my most prized apprentice!"

Josefina chuckled, "I prefer to keep a low profile. I've just reunited with my family, and I don't want them getting the wrong idea about me."

After all, to them, she was just a poor little thing discarded by the Antonio family. Suddenly, flaunting various titles and having to explain them all would be too much hassle. It would be better to fly under the radar than to court disaster.

Walter reluctantly consented, then, thinking of something, told Josefina, "You go ahead. I've got another call."

Hanging up, Walter dialed Alfie, and once connected, he blurted out, "Alfie, Josie's such a sweetheart. She designed a whole suit for me and delivered it to my hotel."

Alfie's calm voice came from the other end, "What a coincidence. Josie also had a suit she designed sent over to me."

Holding back his irritation, Walter retorted, "But Josie loves me best. I'm her mentor. She's sent me several suits this year!"

Alfie chuckled, "Come on, stop bragging. Josie always plays fair. If she sends you a suit, don't you think she would send me one too? You may be her art mentor, but I'm her medical mentor." Both were her mentors, so what was the point in comparing?

Walter and Alfie were brothers, one a doctor, the other an artist, each distinguished in his own field. Alfie met Josefina first, recognizing her potential in medicine and taking her on as his disciple. When Walter visited Alfie, he discovered Josefina's gift for painting and also took her under his wing, becoming her proud art mentor.

"Walter, I've sent a gift for your show. Keep an eye out," Alfie said before hanging up. His sixtieth birthday was around the corner, and he was eagerly awaiting Josefina's company. Alfie instructed his staff to tidy up the yard; everything had to be perfect for Josefina's comfort.

Xavier received an invitation to the art show, a ticket his mother had secured for him to rub shoulders with the elite. Ruby, knowing this, pleaded and reasoned with him until he agreed to take her along
