Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 410

Alex, clutching his latest creation, strode into Josefina's office and laid the design out for review.

"Ms. Josefina, I've finished up. Could you take a look and give me your thoughts?"

Josefina picked up the designs, nodding in approval. "Not bad at all. These will do nicely."

Alex's face lit up with a grin. "Thanks, Ms. Josefina! I'll get back to it then. We've got more partners on board now, so there's an even bigger need for fresh designs."

"Alex, you've been a real trooper," Josefina said, her voice warm with appreciation. "Starting this month, we're tripling your salary. And any design we use, that's a bonus on top."

Alex's entry salary as an intern had been a modest three grand a month. Upon becoming a full-fledged member of the team, it had bumped to eight thousand.

Triple that? Twenty-four grand a month!

His hands rubbed together in barely contained excitement. "Isn't that a bit much?"

"Not at all," Josefina assured him. "You've earned it with your contributions. Keep up the good work, and there's more where that came from."

Overflowing with gratitude, Alex apologized for his excitement and scurried out to share the news with Jade.

"Jade, I got a raise! Let's hit that buffet after work—the one you've been eyeing but never splurge on!"

Jade looked up, a playful smirk on her face. "Did you invite Josie to celebrate too?"

"Ms. Josefina's swamped with work," Alex replied. "She's barely had time to breathe since she got back. Let's wait until things settle down and after we've shown the door to that snake, Johns, then we'll celebrate properly."

"Johns, the snake?" Jade chuckled. "Sounds like you've got a real zoo at your office!"

"Something like that," Alex admitted, then turned serious. "I've got to keep my nose to the grindstone now."

With that, he dove back into his sketches, his pen racing across the paper.

Meanwhile, Holly tiptoed into Josefina's sanctuary, her nerves a bundle of tension.
