Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 616

Josefina replied, "Yes, thanks for the effort."

Messages kept popping up on her phone, including one from her martial arts mentor, Stan: "Josie, heard you're back in Westwood? I'll swing by in a couple of days. How about I treat you to something delicious?"

Josefina couldn't help but smile at her phone. "No problem, master. I know a couple of great diners around. I'll take you there."

After replying, Josefina saw a message from Albert: "Ms. Josefina, aren't you coming to the Saturday game?"

Thinking of the match reminded her of Reid, who was all in, losing sleep and skipping meals for the game.

She didn't want to mess with Reid's game mindset, especially knowing that if Reid learned she was his opponent at such a crucial moment, he wouldn't be able to keep his cool.

Josefina replied, "I won't join you guys. Tell them, even if they see me there, pretend they don’t."

She had to protect her secret identity.

After replying, Josefina picked up her pen to work on her design sketches.

Downstairs, Garrett had just come back. Hattie gave him a look, and they went to their room together.

Hattie filled him in on everything.

Garrett frowned, clearly worried. "Your niece Mandy is supposed to be in Shanghai. What's she doing in Westwood all of a sudden?"

"I have no clue," Hattie said, holding her phone but unsure of what to do next.

"Putting Josie in such a tough spot," Garrett said. "How about this? First thing tomorrow, I'll go with you to your parents' place."

"Josie said the fewer people know, the better for us. You want to go without telling Josie first? You're not worried our girl will get upset?"
