Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 446

Hattie sighed and said with a touch of exasperation, “Junior might as well marry his bot, he's more attached to it than to his own mother. If push comes to shove, he can just keep that hunk of metal for company.”

Garrett chuckled, “Not a bad idea, actually.”

Dorian tossed in his two cents with a smirk, “If Junior’s that smitten with robots, maybe he’ll actually take you up on that.”

Josefina let out a snort of laughter, imagining Reid having a meltdown in the bathroom.

Lena’s eyes twinkled with mischief. She muttered something about needing the restroom and quickly made her way to the elevator, heading up to her room instead.

Once there, Lena dialed Reid’s number. As soon as it connected, she adopted a woeful tone, “Reid, don’t you want to come home soon for your big sis?”

Reid’s voice was icy, “What’s up?”

Lena pressed on, “Mom and Dad are really upset. They adore our sister, even more than me. If you don’t come home to see her, they’ll be furious. They said... if you don’t want to come back, then just stay away. Reid, I’ll try to calm our sister down. It’s fine if you come back later; I’ll smooth things over so she won’t hold a grudge.”

Lena’s voice was filled with urgency, but she was met with Reid’s indifferent reply, “What did you say? The machines are too loud here, didn’t catch that.”

Lena felt like screaming!

Reid was as dense as a block of wood!

Fuming, Lena continued, “Reid, about our sister…”

“Look, Lena, let’s talk when I get back. I’m swamped with work and have a competition next month. I need to lead my team to victory and crush my rival.”

Reid hung up, leaving Lena so frustrated she nearly cursed out loud.

To Reid, there was nothing but robots.

Mom and Dad were right; he might as well spend his life with those robots!

...

Lena trudged back downstairs, her spirits low.

Josefina sat back down, giving Lena her full attention.

Lena went on, “I called Reid again when I was upstairs. I tried to persuade him to come home sooner to see you, to keep the peace and not upset Mom and Dad. But, Reid still won’t come. Sis, please don’t stoop to his level, don’t be mad at him.”

“Are you done?” Josefina asked flatly.

Lena continued, “If you get mad and Mom and Dad confront Reid, he’ll blame you for sure. You’ve just gotten back and aren’t close with Reid. You wouldn’t hold it against him, right? I have a better rapport with Reid. I’ll talk to him for you.”

“Finished now, are we? Well, I’ve got to get to work,” Josefina replied, standing up again.

Lena was perplexed, “Sis, what do you mean?”

“I don’t mean anything. I was quietly enjoying your performance. Now that the show is over, of course, I’m leaving.”

Josefina left with a broad smile, leaving Lena to mutter angrily, “Josefina, you little brat! You did that on purpose!”

But regardless of what Lena said next, Josefina was too far gone to hear her outburst.
