Chapter 403
Married at First Sight
Josh was waiting for Zachary at the entrance of the office building.
His pearly whites welcomed Zachary.
âI thought you werenât coming to the office today.â
Josh followed Zachary inside while the bodyguards stopped at the entrance of the office building.
âIf I donât come in and ask you to preside over the meeting, youâll just complain about how much you mustâve owed me in the past life that youâre enslaved by me now.â
âYouâre quite selfâaware and know that youâve been enslaving me this whole time, huh?â Zachary turned his head to look at him. âIâm just providing a stage for you to perform. If I didnât, would you be able to get the attention of your patriarch?â
The younger generation of the Bucham family was not inferior to the York family.
Josh stood out among the Bucham familyâs younger generation mainly because of his capability, his friendship with Zachary, and his position in the top management of York Corporation.
He was the most valued nephew of the Bucham familyâs patriarch, so he had a very high status within the family. Josh was not interested in becoming the next patriarch and was very close to the patriarchâs son. The two of them were like biological brothers.
Josh giggled. âYouâre just training me to be your chief of intelligence. It just so happens that I love gossip, and those private affairs you asked me to investigate are all gossipâworthy news. If Iâm ever short of money, I can make a fortune by selling one of your personal scoops to the paparazzi.â
The two men entered the elevator together.
Zachary retorted, âYouâll only be short of money if you transfer all your property to me. Otherwise, youâll never lack money.â
Although Josh had a thing for gossip and drama, he was reliable and tightâlipped. Otherwise, Zachary would not be able to trust Josh to this extent.
Clive Stone tried to poach Josh countless times, but he failed to do so.
So many people tried to get Josh drunk so Josh could spill the York familyâs internal secrets, but they all failed too.
âYou have so much money that you canât possibly spend in your lifetime, yet you still want me to transfer mine to you?! By the way, did you enjoy catching the scandalous pair last night?â
Since they were the only ones in the elevator, Josh asked about it openly.
âAnd why didnât you ask me to help? I was dreaming about it all night!â
For those who liked gossip, it was incredibly frustrating not to be able to watch the drama unfold.
âItâs at the Stone Groupâs hotel. Youâll just attract unnecessary attention if you go. You might even be in todayâs headlines.â
Josh said reluctantly, âAs if no one will recognize you if you goâ¦â
âI put on makeup.â
Josh was lost for words.
Well, he did not think of that.
âWas there a fight?â
âYup.â
âWas it amusing?â
Zachary glanced at him again. Seeing Joshâs eager face, he smiled and said, âYeah. My sisterâin -law was really good at acting, and her fighting skills can compare to my Serenityâs.â
âWow, so sheâs become YOUR Serenity, huh?â
Josh locked in on the keyword.
âOtherwise, could she be yours?â
Josh quickly said, âI wouldnât dare make her mine. Your wife is exceptional at fighting.â âShe practiced kickboxing.â
Josh sang her praises. âWow, brawn and brains! Zack, you definitely picked up a treasure. Grandma May introduced such a good woman to you only because youâre her grandson. Back then, you looked like the Grim Reaper in the office every day when Grandma May nagged you about marrying Serenity.
âIâm also a capable man, but Grandma May didnât think to introduce such a brawny and brainy. girl to me. By the way, does Jasmine know how to fight?â
