Chapter 256
Lena was pampered for eighteen years by the Harrisons, and every aspect of her life was draped in luxury. She was the darling princess of the family, and she had only ever stumbled in her affections for Oliver.
Lena was about to speak when suddenly, the divider in the limousine rose, creating two separate spaces.
It was deliberate! Oliver had done this on purpose! No wonder he had agreed to let her ride with him. It was all to humiliate her!
Josefina was also taken aback. Why on earth would Oliver resort to using the partition?
At the traffic light, Oliver glanced at Josefina with that teasing twinkle in his eyes and reached out to ruffle her hair. "Such a good girl," he cooed.
Josefina furrowed her brows in annoyance. "Do you think I'm a pet or something?"
"I just can't help but pet you when you're this adorable and well-behaved," Oliver chuckled.
Josefina reached out, intending to return the gesture and tousle Oliver's hair. He leaned in, facilitating her playful act. "You're quite the good boy yourself, Oliver," Josefina said with a laugh.
He even presented his head for a pat, and Josefina couldn't resist but indulge.
Oliver just smiled and kept his eyes on the road. "What do you fancy for breakfast tomorrow? I'll swing by and drop it off."
"No need. We've got food at home."
"Then how about I come over and join you instead?"
Josefina was incredulous. "Oliver, are you serious?"
"Dead serious. I've always been serious when it comes to you."
Josefina was taken aback, while Lena, seated behind them, was seething. If only she had known, she wouldn't have gotten into Oliver's car!

Lena wanted none of it, but there was no way to exit the moving car. She had no choice but to endure the display of affection.
Upon arriving at her doorstep, Lena pushed the car door open and stepped out, forcing a smile. "Oliver, thanks for the ride. Why don't you come in for a coffee?" Lena offered, unable to take her eyes off his striking features.
Oliver gazed affectionately at Josefina. "I'll pick you up for work tomorrow morning. Go inside. It's a bit toasty out here."
Worried she might decline, he quickly made his exit, not giving her the chance to refuse.
As Oliver drove away, Lena's gaze lingered.
Ryan emerged, greeting Josefina
with utmost respect, "Good evening, Ms. Josefina, Ms. Lena, I've
el.
tared a mint lemonade for v
you.
It's in the fridge. Perfect for cooling Off."
"Thank you, Ryan," Josefina appreciated his thoughtfulness.
"You're most welcome, Ms. Josefina," Ryan replied with a warm smile.
Lena huffed in displeasure and went inside.
After shedding her evening gown, removing her makeup, and slipping into pajamas, Josefina came downstairs to enjoy the refreshing mint lemonade. That was when Luke called. "Boss, you've got oliver wrapped around your finger heard from the staff that the evening gown was his gift to you."
"I didn't expect it either," Josefina admitted.
"Oliver was so sweet on you. Have you fallen for him yet?"
"Luke, aren't you a bit too idle? Should I find something for you to do?"
"No, boss, I'm actually swamped. I'm expanding our operations and still need to check in with your apprentice. I'm too busy for gossip." "Good, being busy will keep you from talking nonsense."
After hanging up with Luke, Josefina answered a call from Percy. "Josie, was it Luke, the chatterbox, hogging the line?"
She couldn't help but laugh. "He's just too nosy. Are you calling about a breakthrough in the lab?"
"Yes, indeed. The hair growth
product you developed is working wonders, with no side effects.
Should we start manufacturing for
sale? can help you find reliable partners."
"That sounds good, Percy. You handle it, and keep me posted." As Josefina noticed Lena approaching, she ended the call.
