Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Chapter 411

Holly had just settled back at her desk when a message from Remus pinged on her screen, inviting her to the coffee shop downstairs.

"Holly??"

She quickly typed back, "Mr. Remus, can't we just talk here? I don't see the need for a coffee shop meet-up."

His response was swift and unwavering, "I need to see you. If you don't come down, I'll come up."

Holly's eyes sparkled with mischief as she grabbed her phone and headed out. It was lunchtime anyway, so a quick detour wouldn't hurt.

Entering the cafe, she spotted Remus nursing a coffee, his eyes darting around the room.

Seeing her, he put down his cup and flashed a wide grin. "Holly, what's so urgent that you had to drag me out of the office?" she asked, casually tossing her phone onto the table.

Remus leaned in, still smiling. "Holly, I've only been at the company for four days, but I can already see-you've got potential."

"Potential?" Holly raised an eyebrow, incredulous. "Mr. Remus, my designs haven't even been approved yet. And now you're telling me I've got potential?"
