Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 598

"Josie, you're a full-fledged member of the Harrison family, and that means you have a stake in the legacy. Mom and Dad have already decided—they're giving you shares in the company. You'll be one of the bosses," Dorian said with an unyielding seriousness that left no room for doubt. Josefina knew it was true.

But the truth was, she had no idea how to run the Harrison empire.

Her own ventures were more than enough to keep her busy; taking on the family business was simply out of the question.

"Dorian, you know I've got my hands full with my own things. I'd be much more comfortable leaving the family business to you. I believe in you, Dorian," Josefina said with a teasing smile.

Dorian, however, wasn't ready to let it go. "Josie, just hear me out. Stick with the company. Is it the office? Don't like it? Tell me what style you want, and I'll have it remodeled to your liking."

"Dorian, that's really not necessary," Josefina said, shocked by his suggestion.

Dorian was left speechless.

"Josie, that's not what I meant. I just wanted you to be involved in the business."

"Dorian, I get it. But the company's in your hands now. You're the best, Dorian, really top-notch!" she said with a playful wink.

Dorian was torn between laughter and frustration, but with Josefina's repeated refusals, he couldn't press her further.

"Josie, your office will always be here for you. Drop by anytime, you're always welcome," he relented.

"Thanks, Dorian," she said, relieved that he wasn't pushing the issue further. She really was afraid of burning out.
