Chapter 273
After clocking out, Josefina stepped through the company's doors and immediately spotted Oliver's car waiting for her at the curb. It was an unremarkable vehicle, blending seamlessly into the bustle of the cityscape.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Approaching the passenger side, Josefina opened the door and slid into the seat, deliberately avoiding the spot next to Oliver.
Oliver's features flickered with surprise, followed by an indulgent, affectionate smile. Josefina was clearly giving him the silent treatment. Over the flowers, perhaps?
They arrived at the spot Oliver had mentioned, and he got out, opened her door, and scooped her up in his arms.
"Oliver, what are you doing? Put me down this instant!”
"If I don't hold you, you'll never talk to me."
Finally, they could talk.
Once back in the car, Oliver sat beside her, and the driver, mindful of his job security, discreetly raised the privacy partition to avoid witnessing any potentially intimate scenes. "Don't be mad, okay? How about I don't send you flowers anymore?"
Josefina glanced at him. "From now on, don't send me anything without my approval." It was just too showy.
"Alright, I'll do as you say," Oliver said, holding her hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
In front of Josefina, Oliver was flexible and eager to please, focusing solely on her happiness. That was his mission.
He took out his phone and called George. "George, no more flowers for Josie, got it?"
Confused by the sudden order while working overtime, George asked, "Ms. Josefina doesn't like flowers? Mr. Oliver, maybe you should consider diamonds instead." Josefina's brow furrowed at the thought of receiving diamonds at work. The intense stares and whispers of her colleagues were already blazing in her mind.
"Just keep working," Oliver ended the call.
His frosty expression then melted into a smile. "Josie, your wish is my command."
When she received Oliver's earnest apology, Josefina's irritation dissipated.
With a magician's flair, Oliver produced a bottle of smoothie from the car and handed it to Josefina. "Josie, your favorite. We'll be home soon, but have some bubble tea to tide you over."
Sipping smoothie in an
air-conditioned car during the scorching summer was a delight Josefina cherished. As she took sip, Oliver watched her, unable to tear his gaze away, as if he was beholding a precious treasure.

Josefina still thought that Oliver's attractive eyes could melt anyone's heart.
Brandon paced the entrance of the villa, eagerly awaiting Josefina's arrival.
Bennett glanced at his watch, advising, "Sir, perhaps you should wait inside. It's terribly hot out here, and we wouldn't want your condition to worsen. Health comes first."
Brandon chuckled, "Josie is a
miracle worker. She could bring me back from the brink. Bennett, how's the barbecue coming along? Keep in mind, we need to consider what a young woman might enjoy
"Sir, your instructions have been followed to the letter. The food is grilling as we speak. It should be ready just in time for Ms. Josefina's arrival."
Trusting Bennett implicitly, Brandon needed no further reassurance and continued to gaze into the distance, eagerly anticipating Josefina's return.
