Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Josefina called the person with a hint of irritation in her voice.

"What's with all these cryptic texts? Is Ruby putting you up to this?" On the other end, the girl's voice was laced with venom. "That backstabber Ruby has ruined me! She wrecked my entire life!" Frowning, Josefina questioned, "Weren't you two supposed to be tight?" The thought of Ruby's friend calling her to bad-mouth Ruby was something Josefina couldn't quite wrap her head around. With a bitter edge, Sally confessed, "Ruby invited us out for dinner, and I got plastered. When I woke up, some old geezer was snoozing next to me. He let slip that someone had sold me to him! And it wasn't just me two other friends got the same treatment from Ruby."

Josefina was stunned. Could Ruby really be so heartless, even to her closest friends? "Why don't you confront Ruby yourself? Or go to the cops? I'm not law enforcement. I can't arrest anyone, and I sure as heck can't help you."

Sally pleaded urgently, "The other day, I saw you with this super good-looking guy. I could tell he's loaded. Josefina, I know you've got the chops to help us out. After Ruby, the little princess, kicked you to the curb, are you just going to take that lying down?"

Josefina's brows furrowed. "Sorry, I don't really know you." She ended the call.
