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!"

One by one, everyone showered her with congratulations. Lena basked in their praise, her eyes occasionally flicking toward Josefina with a hint of triumph.

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?"

The room fell into a stunned silence.

Lena was flabbergasted. How did Josefina know this? She wasn't a professor at the hospital, nor was she part of the judging panel. How on earth did she come across this information?

Grandpa Robert furrowed his brow, his authoritative gaze scrutinizing Lena. "Lena, don't go spouting off about things you're not sure of. If word gets out, you'll make the Harrison family the laughing stock of the town."
