Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Grant's grin stretched from ear to ear as Josefina gave her nod of approval. "Rosa, I'm happy to hear that you like it. Teach me how to tie a tie, would you?"

"Sure."

Josefina held a sleek tie in her hands as Grant stooped low, making it easier for her to loop the fabric around his neck.

As the tie slithered over Grant's collar, he remained crouched, hoping to make things a bit more comfortable for Josefina. Her slender fingers danced before Grant's eyes, and in just a moment, the knot was perfect.

"Look in the mirror, see for yourself," Josefina said, beaming with pride.

Grant studied his reflection, while Josefina standing by his side the whole time. With a quick motion, he whipped out his phone, capturing the rare moment.

When he turned to Josefina, his face twisted with mock distress. "Rosa, I think I forgot how it's done. Would you mind going through it again?"

"Of course, just pay attention this time."

Grant summoned one of his guys over to record the lesson. He squatted down, ready to learn once more. Undoing the tie, she tried again, smooth and uninterrupted.

The guy filming was nearly slack-jawed with surprise. Grant was like a wild stallion, and here was Josefina, the expert horse whisperer, taming him. In her presence, Grant was as docile as a cuddly puppy.

Unbelievable!
