Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Alex's nerves were frayed, but Josefina's voice, brimming with confidence, was the last straw. "Ms. Josefina, are you just saying that to comfort me? I know this is no small matter - my designs have been swiped clean, not a sketch left. Even if I start drawing now, it's too late; inspiration doesn't come on tap."

He laid it out bare; there was no hiding his despair. In the firm, it was just Ava and Alex in the design department. Alex was at his wit's end, incapable of fathoming a solution.

Kale, standing off to the side, didn't question Josefina's assertiveness. He knew that when Josefina made a promise, she'd keep it. She never committed to something she wasn't sure she could deliver. "Alex, why don't you hit the ground running with something else? Don't sweat the designs - I'll handle it."

Alex, uneasy, shook his head. "Ms. Josefina, you might as well fire me. I know you're in this as a hired gun. Even as CEO, you've got skin in the game. If you fire me, pin the blame on me - it's fair. I screwed up, didn't secure our assets."

Josefina was taken aback; Alex's readiness to shoulder the blame was unexpected. Men with such responsibility were a rare breed these days.

With a deepening smile, Josefina reassured him, "Don't worry. I won't make you the fall guy. We'll straighten this out. Go grab some breakfast, and take a breather."
