Chapter 161

Lena breezed into the office. Her voice preceded her as she announced with a flourish, "Josie, I got you some afternoon tea, something special just for you."

Her smile froze as her eyes landed on the identical, yet more expensive, set of afternoon tea already gracing Josefina's desk.

"Oh, you've already got yourself some tea..." Lena's voice trailed off, with awkwardness etched into her tone.

"I didn't come for a check-up. I just wanted to see how you are. Running the company must be exhausting. You need to take care of yourself."

"Thanks, but I'm fit as a fiddle, up to the task," Josefina replied with brisk assurance.
