Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

She had mustered up the courage to approach Oliver and strike up a conversation, for heaven's sake! After her making such a bold move, why on earth was Oliver so heartless? Ruby refused to believe it. As she watched the assistant about to leave, she called out, "Has Oliver found someone he likes? Is that why he's rejected me?"

The assistant paused mid-stride, his mind flashing to Josefina. Those two were a match made in heaven. With an icy tone, the assistant spat out, "None of your business." Defeated, Ruby slumped onto the couch, still unable to soothe her agitated nerves.
