Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Chapter 15

The sales clerk was dragged away, and the scene calmed down. The other clerks dared not to utter a peep.

Hattie chuckled at Oliver, "Oliver, you're too much. Show me the bill for the bags, and I'll shoot the money over to you."

Josefina piped up with a refusal as well, "Oliver, you're way too kind. The money you gave me wipes the slate clean for saving your granddad. I can't accept these bags."

Oliver's velvety voice rose beside Josefina, "It's just a small token from me. Josie saved my grandpa, and these gifts are nothing. If Josie doesn't take them, my grandpa will definitely say I didn't handle things right.” Later, he’d have George drop off more gifts at the Harrison family's home as his little token of appreciation.

Hattie was taken aback again. How could Oliver suddenly be so chatty with her? Was this the Oliver she knew?

Josefina was about to refuse again when Oliver said, "Ma'am, Josie, I've got to run, got things to do."

Oliver strode away briskly with George hot on his heels.

Josefina watched Oliver's hasty retreat and maintained her principle: no work, no reward. She said to Hattie, "Mom, please help me return these gifts to Oliver. No work, no reward." She couldn't possibly carry all the bags, and she preferred backpacks anyway, where she could stash her secret weapons.

Hattie laughed, "Don't worry, consider it a gift from me. As for Oliver, I'll chat with your dad, and we'll sort out the money. The Harrisons don't just take what we shouldn't, rest easy. Whatever you want,

I'll buy for you."

Josefina's first bag had to come from her mom, not some random guy!

Hattie texted Garrett to transfer the exact amount on the bill to Oliver.

Seeing this, Josefina finally breathed a sigh of relief. As for the money, she planned to repay Hattie in another way.

...

When Josefina and Hattie got home, they were stunned by the array of gifts in the yard.

Hattie said, "Must be gifts from your dad."

The butler replied, "Madam, it's not Mr. Harrison, it's Mr. Oliver."

Josefina was baffled. "Did he send them to the wrong place?"

The butler grinned. "Miss Josefina, no mistake, all these gifts are for you. They even have your name on them, Josefina, isn't that you?" Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Then, more gifts were carried in.

"These are the latest autumn clothes for Miss Josefina from Mr. Oliver."

"These are the latest shoes for Miss Josefina from Mr. Oliver."

"These are various accessories for Miss Josefina from Mr. Oliver."

The gift bearer spoke respectfully, "Ms. Josefina, please inspect them."

When he spoke, his gaze was fixed on Josefina. Before coming, he had heard that the real Harrison family's princess looked drop dead gorgeous, and without a doubt, Josefina was that beauty.

Josefina, looking at the yard full of gifts, really wanted to know what the heck Oliver was up to?? Her phone rang, and as she took it out, she saw an unfamiliar number.

A magnetic male voice came from the other end of the line. "This is Oliver."

It was then Josefina remembered that Oliver had indeed saved her number.

"Why did you send me all this stuff?"

"It’s a thank-you gift."

Josefina sai, "You've already given me a check."

Oliver chuckled softly, his voice dripping with allure, "You know about my grandpa's health. I'd like to ask you to be his family doctor. No need to come every day, just when needed, okay? These gifts are a small gesture from our family."
