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.
