Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

The receptionist blocked her path, and Lauren frowned in displeasure. "Tell Josefina that her foster mother is here with something important to hand over to her."

The young lady at the front desk quickly called Kale. Upon receiving permission, Lauren made her way to Josefina's office.
