Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Josefina locked eyes with Oliver, her expression unchanging as she delivered her line with a cool nonchalance, "Maybe my folks just offered too much."

Oliver replied smoothly, "I offered a billion."

Josefina secretly rolled her eyes. Would Jett and Tori agree to become bodyguards for someone for the sake of a billion dollars? No one would receive such treatment except for her.

With a playful smile, Josefina teased, "Maybe my family is willing to pay even more. Or perhaps guarding me is just less of a hassle than protecting you. After all, you're a busy CEO with a million things on your plate. Too many dangers."

Oliver's lips curled into an enigmatic smile that sent shivers down Josefina's spine. It was as if he was privy to some secret, possibly one about her. Shifting her gaze away, Josefina changed the subject, "So, Oliver, where are we heading for dinner?"

"Gourmet Galaxy," he answered, his voice carrying the kind of allure that could tempt a saint.
