Chapter 910

Josefina knew she had to keep her cool around Reid. She definitely couldn't let him know she was already a sharpshooter.

Luke, her trusty sidekick, wasn't convinced. "Boss, you've been handling guns since forever. Think you can really pull off the newbie act?"

"Of course," Josefina insisted, her mind buzzing with ways to make it convincing. "Can't let all of Reid's hard work go unnoticed."

Just then, Calix burst into the room.

"Sis!"

Josefina's heart skipped a beat hearing her brother's voice.

"Calix, aren't you supposed to be filming? What brings you back so soon?"

"Grandpa told me you were home, so I had to come see you. I've got a night shoot later, so there's plenty of time."

"What's Reid up to? Got targets and everything, I see," Calix said, moving closer to check things out.

Josefina followed, her curiosity piqued.

With everything set up, Reid was ready to give Josefina a crash course in shooting.

But when he turned around, it was Calix he saw instead.

"Carter, what are you doing back?" Reid couldn't hide his annoyance at the interruption.

Unbothered, Calix replied, "Sis, let me show you the ropes. Next time you run into someone with a gun, you'll handle it like a pro."

"I'm down to teach her too," Calix added eagerly.

"Carter, you're always on set. You think you still got those shooting skills?" Reid

teased. "Don't wanna embarrass yourself in front of her."

"Hand it over!" Calix snatched the gun from Reid's grip.

With confidence, he stepped up, aimed, and fired at the target.

Brimming with self-assurance, Calix watched as Reid checked the target and brought it back.

"Tsk, tsk, look at that. Didn't even make it to the 9th ring. Quite the letdown after all that swagger."

Calix felt the heat of embarrassment but tried to play it cool, glancing around as if he hadn't heard the comment.

Thankfully, Reid didn't press further, leaving Calix with a shred of dignity.

Taking another shot, Calix managed to hit the 9th ring this time.

Turning his focus back to Josefina, Reid ran her through the basics, from stance to grip.

Josefina took the gun, stood tall, and aimed.

Bang. Right on the 9th ring.

Calix and Reid were stunned. They hadn't expected Josefina to nail it on her first try.

Josefina sighed internally. If she'd

known she'd do this well, she

might've aimed a bit off, maybe hit the 8th ringmstead Would they get suspicious? .

She turned to her brothers with a bright smile. "Reid, Calix, I must've gotten lucky. Let me try again, see

if

it was just a fluke."

Her next shot missed completely.

Calix quickly reassured her. "Sis, for a beginner, that was impressive."

Reid added, "Calix, on his first go? Couldn't even make the 5th ring."

Calix cringed. Did Reid really have to out him like that in front of Josefina?

Still, Calix flashed a charming smile, making Josefina think, despite everything, her brother really was a looker.

"Reid, Calix, I'll keep practicing. They say practice makes perfect, right?"

"Give it another shot, sis," Calix encouraged.

"Just remember what I showed you," Reid added, both brothers cheering her on. No matter the result, they showered her with praise each compliment different from the last

Josefina couldn't help but think they'd make a fantastic comedy duo.
