Chapter 571
Married at First Sight
Dizzy from the shaking, Jasmine pried Elisaâs fingers from her shoulders and said, âElisa, Mr. Bucham
and I only went on one blind date, and that was it. He wonât tell me if I ask him.â
âI canât believe you went on a date with Josh Bucham!â
Elisa exclaimed in amazement. âJosh is the most eligible bachelor in Wiltspoon, and Iâm talking about
among the elites.â
Elisa had no doubt about the authenticity of Jasmineâs date with Josh because Jasmine was the
daughter of a local wealthy man. Jasmineâs aunt was also the missus of the Lowe family. Jasmine often
attended higher society events with her aunt.
However, Mrs. Lowe stopped bringing Jasmine around to parties after Jasmineâs lying stunt at Mrs.
Dawsonâs birthday celebration.
âSerenityâs husband set up the date.â
Serenity smiled and admitted openly. âMy husband does seem to be in Mr. Buchamâs good books.
Seeing that Mr. Bucham was always busy at work and single, he boldly set him up with Jasmine. He
thought Jasmine would make a good couple with Mr. Bucham.â
âSerenity, your husband is amazing to be chummy with Josh. No wonder heâs in his element at York
Corporation. Josh is Mr. Yorkâs most trusted man and holds a position higher than the other York family
members.
âItâs not just the employees who want to befriend him, people like us also want to get in with him too.
Itâs a shame he and Mr. York are best friends. Mr. York doesnât like me, so even Mr. Bucham would stay
away at the sight of me before I could get a chance to be chummy.â
Jasmine and Serenity were lost for words.
Mr. Bucham sounded plain wicked.
Even an heiress like Elisa wanted to buddy up with him.
While Mr. Bucham could open doors to opportunities, Mr. York was⦠the golden ticket.
Serenity believed anybody who could get into Mr. Yorkâs circle would have Wiltspoon at the palm of
their hands.
âJasmine, what do you think about Mr. Bucham?â
Elisa wanted to get information on Zacharyâs wife through Josh as she needed full closure.
Jasmine spread her palms. âNothing much. We get along, but I donât get that love at first sight. I should
invest in the relationship if I want to get into it, but I feel heâs out of my league after learning who he is. I
should keep my distance.â
Josh would be speechless if he heard this. it meant
Elisa told her, âWhy donât you try and go out with him if you two get along? Iâve heard a lot about him
from my shoppingmode brother. Heâs a man you can count on. Since Josh was willing to go on a blind
date with you, that he wanted to try and get serious with you.
âDonât talk about him being out of your league. Your family owns a lot of properties. Heck, your family
owns half the street of commercial stores up north. Your aunt is Mrs. Lowe. How are you not good
enough for Josh? Josh isnât in line to take over the Bucham family. Heâs simply the head of the Bucham
familyâs nephew.
âJasmine, Iâd been obsessed with Mr. York for many years. Although thereâs no hope of us getting
together, I need to know who I lost to. Go on and date Mr. Bucham. Help me get information from him. I
can give you money. You can just see it as a paid assignment.â
Jasmine was at a loss for words.
Serenity stared blankly at Elisa.
Why did she get a feeling that Elisa was trying to get the latest gossip about Mr. York?
âIâll give dating a go if Mr. Bucham invites me out.â
Jasmine had a good impression of Josh.
âLet me tell you, Jasmine. You must hang onto Josh. Heâs a nice guy. You can get firsthand gossip at
your fingertips when you two get together.â
Jasmine was rendered speechless.
Serenity burst into laughter.
Realizing what she had said, Elisa covered her mouth to chuckle too.
Josh, who was slaving away for Zachary at the office, felt a burn in his ears. Using his phone camera in
selfie mode, he checked his ears and found them red.
âWhoâs dissing me behind my back?â Josh mumbled.
He must be getting railed pretty badly as his ears turned scarlet.
