Chapter 27: Josie’s new circle.
Josie looked at herself in the mirror once more. She wanted to make absolutely sure she’d chosen the right attire for this meeting. The night Joshua returned from Southern Region’s most prominent city Johnston; he told Josie and Marlon about their new ally….Adrianna Delgato. Josie could hardly believe her ears.
“Wait…you’re telling me you made a deal with the CEO of House Delgato??? HOW!”
Joshua grinned.
“It wasn’t hard to do actually. Once I showed her your designs…she practically begged me to introduce you to her.”
Josie’s eyes widen; she couldn’t believe what she was hearing! House Delgato was begging for HER business!
“I….I don’t understand.”
Marlon beamed with pride as he shook his cousin’s shoulder.
“Come on Josie! You’re a freaking genius! Anybody would kill to have you design for them!”
Joshua looked at Josie; his eyes filled with unspoken passion.
“Marlon is right Josie. Your work is incredible. So much so…Delgato wanted to cancel the competition.”
Both Marlon and Josie looked at Joshua in shock. Josie began to panic.
“What! Why!”
Joshua laughed aloud.
“What do you mean why? She’s not going to find anyone with better designs that yours. Josie…your work is fucking incredible. No one can compare.”
Although she flattered, Josie still found herself feeling annoyed. Her entire plan to take down the Taylors was contingent on them. entering the competition.
“Josh…I appreciate that…and I’m flattered but…you knew my plan…I needed that competition.”
A smug grin appeared on Joshua’s face.
“Relax my little baker…I have every intention of making sure your plan plays full circle.”
Confused, Josie looked at Marlon. Equally confused, Marlon stared at Joshua.
“Josh…if she’s already chosen Jojo as her designer…why would she hold the competition?”
“Because I asked her too.”

“WHAT
Josie and Marlon exclaimed simultaneously. They didn’t understand what Joshua was talking about.
“So wait…are you telling me she loved my designs so much she agreed to have a useless competition?”
“Oh no…that wasn’t because of you. That was because I offered her a chance to destroy my uncle.”
Now Josie and Marlon were extremely confused. Why would Delgato want to destroy James Watson? That’s when Joshua explained the history between Adrianna and James. Stunned, Josie could only shake her head.
“Wow! Your uncle really is scum. Are you sure he isn’t a Taylor?”
Both Joshua and Marlon laughed loudly.
“I told you baker…your family isn’t the only family filled with trash.”
That night, he went over the entire plan with Josie and Marlon, it was incredible. Now she understood his phrase ‘killing two birds with one stone.‘ The birds were James and the Taylors….the stone…Delgato.
“Well…I guess I should tell you both what I’ve found out as well.”
Both Marlon and Joshua looked at Josie with a confused expression. Looking first at Joshua, Josie began.
“Josh already knows this, but you don’t Mar. Tillman…he’s dead. Has been for a few weeks now.”
Marlon’s eyes nearly bulged out their sockets. He’d been so busy in the lab lately he hadn’t had a chance to follow up on everything.
“What!!! When did this happen!!”
“The day I sent Emily to the café with the blueprints.”
“What!! How?”
