Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess novel Chapter 523

After rifling through the wardrobe, Josefina came up empty-handed.

Spotting her meticulous search, Reid quickly understood she was hunting for something valuable.

"Josie, need a hand?" he murmured as he walked over.

"Reid, could you check around the desk for any secret compartments? And if you see any ornaments, give them a twist to see what happens."

Reid snapped to attention—it felt just like one of those secret-room scenes from TV.

"Got it, sis. I'm on it!"

Task in hand, Reid dove into his mission with gusto. They continued their search...

Josefina paused, scanning the closet room, then methodically moved to a specific spot, tapping and feeling around the cabinet doors. Finally, she hit pay dirt—a hidden compartment.

Reid watched, awe-struck. "Wow, Josie, you're a genius."

As he approached, he saw her holding a small box. His heart raced. What if it was like on TV and there was a bomb inside?

"Josie, hand me the box, gently. What if there's a bomb? It could be dangerous!"

Josefina couldn't help but laugh, though tears welled up from the tension. Reid was just too adorable.

"Relax, Reid. There's no bomb," she said, placing the box on the table.

Reid felt a bit sheepish—had he overreacted?

"Are you sure it's safe? Shouldn't we get a professional to check it out?"

"Reid, I've already checked. No bomb. If Lena hid the box in a secret compartment, she likely didn't plan to blow herself up."
