"Are you not just Josefina? A woman who climbed the ladder with her looks?"

Josefina let out a soft chuckle. "I topped the science final exam this year, and I'm the long-lost legitimate daughter of the Harrison family. Ava, I'm sitting in this seat because my parents handed me the company, and I'm running my own business!"

Josefina continued, "Whoever's trying to use you is just making you a pawn. If you're in any kind of trouble, I can help."

Ava stood up to leave, as if another second in Josefina's presence would reveal all her secrets.
