Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Lena fished out an offer letter from her bag, well aware that all eyes were on her. With a smile that lit up the room, she announced, "Today really is a double joy-I got accepted at the hospital. To keep up with my studies, I'll intern every weekend, and once I graduate, I'll be working there full-time."

Hattie's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Lena, that's fantastic news!"

Josefina caught the challenging look and curved her red lips into a confident smile. "Lena, that letter just means you have a long-term internship. To actually land a job at the hospital, you'll have to go through a post-internship evaluation and competition, right?"
