Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Ruby watched the overly confident Josefina and raised her voice slightly, saying, "Josefina, stop messing around. It'll be embarrassing when the manager comes later."

Xavier chimed in with a smirk, "Ruby, don't waste your breath on her. What can a fake heiress do, anyway? It's not like she's the one signing the checks here."

Josefina's lips curled into a smug smile as she gave Xavier a top-to-bottom once-over. He stepped back and said, "What are you looking at? Keep dreaming, sweetheart, you can't have this."
