Chapter 571

Dizzy from the shaking, Jasmine pried Elisa’s fingers from her shoulders and said, “Elisa, Mr. Bucham and I only went on one blind date, and that was it. He won’t tell me if I ask him.”

“I can’t believe you went on a date with Josh Bucham!”

Elisa exclaimed in amazement. “Josh is the most eligible bachelor in Wiltspoon, and I’m talking about among the elites.”

Elisa had no doubt about the authenticity of Jasmine’s date with Josh because Jasmine was the daughter of a local wealthy man. Jasmine’s 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 Jasmine’s lying stunt at Mrs.

Dawson’s birthday celebration.

“Serenity’s husband set up the date.”

Serenity smiled and admitted openly. “My husband does seem to be in Mr. Bucham’s 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.”

“Serenity, your husband is amazing to be chummy with Josh. No wonder he’s in his element at York Corporation. Josh is Mr. York’s most trusted man and holds a position higher than the other York family members.

“It’s not just the employees who want to befriend him, people like us also want to get in with him too.

It’s a shame he and Mr. York are best friends. Mr. York doesn’t like me, so even Mr. Bucham would stay away at the sight of me before I could get a chance to be chummy.”

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. York’s circle would have Wiltspoon at the palm of their hands.

“Jasmine, what do you think about Mr. Bucham?”

Elisa wanted to get information on Zachary’s wife through Josh as she needed full closure.

Jasmine spread her palms. “Nothing much. We get along, but I don’t get that love at first sight. I should invest in the relationship if I want to get into it, but I feel he’s out of my league after learning who he is. I should keep my distance.”

Josh would be speechless if he heard this. it meant Elisa told her, “Why don’t you try and go out with him if you two get along? I’ve heard a lot about him from my shoppingmode brother. He’s 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.

“Don’t 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 isn’t in line to take over the Bucham family. He’s simply the head of the Bucham family’s nephew.

“Jasmine, I’d been obsessed with Mr. York for many years. Although there’s 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.”

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?

“I’ll give dating a go if Mr. Bucham invites me out.”

Jasmine had a good impression of Josh.

“Let me tell you, Jasmine. You must hang onto Josh. He’s a nice guy. You can get firsthand gossip at your fingertips when you two get together.”

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.

“Who’s dissing me behind my back?” Josh mumbled.

He must be getting railed pretty badly as his ears turned scarlet.
