Chapter 156


    “Kid, what do you know? Josie’s so talented. I don’t even know who’s worthy of such a gem of a


    girl.”


    Luke felt the sting of his mom’s words!


    “Mom, Josie’s got a good head on her shoulders when ites to guys. She’s no lovesick puppy.


    Any guy she doesn’t fancy won’t even get to hold her hand. Don’t you worry. Josie’s no pushover.”


    Katelyn chuckled and nodded, “Luke, you bettere home tonight. Help me with the grocery


    shopping. I’ll make a feast with all of Josie’s favorites.”


    “You got it.”


    ...


    Josefina walked into the office and received a text from Brandon. [Josie, free this weekend? How


    about I take you to the Baldwin family estate? We could have a roastmb feast. Let me know what


    you want, and I’ll have it prepped for you.]


    [Josie, are you short on cash? I’ll transfer a billion to you. Go ahead and treat yourself.]


    [Josie, I’ve been having these terrible headachestely. Come check on me when you have the


    time, will you?]


    Brandon sent a barrage of messages. Soon there was a notification sound of receiving a billion.


    The text was silent, but the notification sound made everyone’s jaws drop as they stared at


    Josefina.

    Everybody was shocked!


    That’s a billion!


    They stared at each other and then back at Josefina with newfound respect. What kind of man was


    after Ms. Josefina, to send a billion just like that for pocket money!


    Josefina ignored the curious gazes around her and said to Alex, “Alex,e to my office.”


    “Yes, Ms. Josefina.” Alex immediately stood up.


    The office had arge pane of clear ss. Without the curtains drawn, everyone could see


    Josefina’s every move.


    Alex walked in, standing in front of the desk. His demeanor was one of utmost respect, almost as if


    his life was in Josefina’s hands.


    Josefina smiled, “Alex, the issue with the design theft has been taken care of; no need to worry. I’m


    here to entrust you with the designs for next quarter.”


    Alex was stunned. Was this his lucky break? “Ms. Josefina, are you nning to take me under your


    wing?”


    Alex couldn’t believe it. His life was about to soar!


    Josefinaughed at his reaction, “I’m giving you this task because I’m counting on your skill. If your


    work doesn’t meet my standards, I won’t hesitate to reject it. Understand?”


    Alex nodded vigorously, “Absolutely, Ms. Josefina. I will give it my all and won’t let you down!”


    His destiny was finally turning!


    ...


    After Alex left, Josefina replied to Brandon’s messages. [Grandpa, I have enough pocket money,


    more than I can spend. I’ll transfer the money back to youter. I have ns with friends this


    weekend and can’t make it to your ce, sorry.]


    Seeing Josefina’s response, Brandon immediately consulted with Oliver, only to find out that he had


    not made any ns with Josefina for the weekend. Brandon was beside himself with worry.


    “Bet, check this out. What does Josie’s message mean?”


    “She’s busy this weekend, and it’s not with Oliver. She wouldn’t happen to have a boyfriend, would


    she?”


    Bet, reading the text, was hesitant. “Sir, it’s hard to say.”


    The two of them exchanged nces,pletely baffled.


    Just then, a servant came in. “Sir, Miss Lena is at the door. She insists on seeing you about


    something important.”


    Brandon paused, wondering why Lena was here. “Let her in,” he said, curious to see what Lena


    was up to.
