Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Oliver's expression softened noticeably as he learned that Annika was Josefina's maid. He flashed a grateful smile at Annika and said, "Thanks."

That smile nearly knocked Annika for six. "Wowzers, Josefina's boyfriend is a total hunk, " Annika thought to herself.

"It's no trouble at all, Mr. Oliver. You're too kind," Annika replied with a beaming smile.

Oliver wasn't in the mood to engage Lena any longer, anxious that if he lingered, she'd cling to him like a burr. He made a swift exit.

Annika rolled her eyes at Lena, then turned to Ryan and remarked, "Mr. Oliver is such a gent, not even making a fuss about the suit. That outfit looks pricy. It's a blessing he didn't ask Miss Lena to cough up any dough."

Ryan was speechless. "Annika, don't you think you're oversimplifying things?"

"How so? Mr. Oliver is legit awesome. He didn't make Miss Lena pay a dime. How's that not cool?" Annika gave Lena a look of cool indifference. "Miss Lena, you gotta wise up. That's Ms. Josefina's boyfriend, and you don't want any misunderstandings, right? Think about how it looks, fussing over Mr. Oliver's threads."

Suddenly, Ryan got the sense that maybe Annika was faking understanding more than she actually had. He chuckled and said, "Annika, better take care of Mr. Oliver's suit, alright?"
